What Customers Are Saying

The sledge hammer is generally well-made, with a sturdy fiberglass handle that provides good grip and reduces vibration. It is effective for a variety of tasks like breaking concrete and splitting wood. However, some customers have reported issues with the head flying off or the handle breaking, especially with certain models. Thorough inspection before use and cautious swinging are recommended to mitigate these potential safety concerns.

Good Product!

Would Recommend

How do I describe a sledge hammer? Well, it's a great sledge hammer! The handle feels great, but I worry about longevity. I haven't had any issues in the immediate timeline in which I've had it, but I've only used it to help split wood.

Feels Right

Would Recommend

Good weight for task at hand. Edge allowed for some slippage but not terrible. Handle feels right!

Thor Called. He Wants His Hammer Back.

Would Recommend

Bought the Kobalt Black Hammer 8-lb sledge for some yard/demo work and apparently I accidentally unlocked my inner Thor. This thing hits with authority. Solid steel head, good balance, and the fiberglass handle helps keep your hands from feeling like you just fought frost giants for an hour. Perfect for breaking concrete, driving stakes, or dramatically staring at your next project like you’re about to summon lightning. 10/10. Would absolutely bring to Asgard.

Strong Sledge

Would Recommend

Much stronger handle than those with a wooden handle. Well worth the extra few dollars.

Head flew off

Would Not Recommend

I got maybe 50 hits in before the head flew off in the middle of a swing. Not just poorly made but downright dangerous

I took care of that thing.

Would Recommend

I can't say what it was exactly used for. But I will say that what was hit with it won't be moving any time soon.
