10 lb Steel Sledge Hammer with 16" wood handle

Product Description

Council Tool 10 lb double-face sledge hammer with 16″ hickory handle.

1. Forged tool steel head, Made in USA, with clear lacquer to deter rust.
2. Striking face is precision machined with proper radius and chamfer (bevel), providing safer performance.
3. Heat treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. (Turning after hardening looks more attractive (on competitor’s tools) but leaves less depth.)
4. Heat treatment produces fine grain structure and Rc 46-54 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness.
5. 16″ American-made hickory handle, kiln dried before turning. Eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly.
6. Handle is hydraulically inserted into head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2″ to 1″ of length is removed during assembly.
