Great for work. Very good shock absorber so I can stick all day and not get sick afterwards. A little expensive but good quality. I want them to do a short hold with more weight.
I broke my big log splitting hammer. This shorter one is easier to aim, especially with two hands. (I am 73 years old). The construction is solid as a gorilla, the grip is very ergonomic and the casting is very smooth. Most likely outlive me.
Pros
UNBREAKABLE HANDLE TECHNOLOGY: Steel core prevents breakage on impact.
Ideal for knocking out pins or splitting hard pieces of wood with a wedge. Definitely heavy for an 8lb but I enjoy the workout. Short length for the weight but manageable with the right amount of power. Easier to transport in trucks thanks to the shorter handle. Very happy.
Pros
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Backed by Wilton's Lifetime Warranty.
I am an auto mechanic (mainly Ram trucks from 1500 to 5500). This is the perfect hammer. The length is long but short enough to squeeze in in places and combines with the weight for an effortless, powerful swing. Great for stubborn brake discs, wheel bearings and when something has to break. The hammer is so great that after a few weeks of owning it I noticed that one of the tool carts started selling the same hammer in their color for twice the price! Very important. Great tool.
Pros
BRAND GREEN HEAD: 46 HRC stamped reflective steel head withstands the toughest driving conditions.
