Wilton B.A.S.H 16" Sledge Hammer, 4 Lb Head (20416)

Perfect hammer for ironwork. The weight, balance and 16" handle make it an excellent choice for your tool belt. Safety lanyard hole in handle is a nice touch tooEdit: Been using this since September 2015, a lot. As an ironworker, I’ve had to have a few washers welded onto my belt which definitely compromises the way the steel rods in the handle and the rubber hold. That being said this is still the best sledge I’ve used. My handle near the head has cracked (I would assume largely due to the heat of the welding screwing the rubber up) and a few hairline cracks mid way.Also if you’re wondering if a 4 lb hammer is too light for ironwork, it’s not. Talking to other guys on my crew, everyone agrees it feels as heavy as a 6lb (probably the steel pins and heavy rubber handle) and it has great balance. Great for tight places too.I recently got a great price on their 6lb hammer and it feels like it’s 8-10lbs

Used and abused this hammer as an iron worker driving bullpins and everything in its path. Fantastic and true to its name unbreakable. Worth every dollar. It’ll outlast 20 wood handle hammers easy.

Iron worker, use it every day

We split wood with a sledge hammer and splitting wedges where the splitting maul doesn't work. We did enough work we broke 2 cheaper sledge hammers over a couple years. With the BASH, it has been going strong for about 4 years and will be the only sledge hammer I'll buy in the future IF I ever brake one of these though I don't think that will happen any time soon.

I use this for automotive repairs. The Handle has great grip. This thing feels more solid than any other hammer I’ve used in its class (including the “professional grade” snap on, Mac, Matco etc.) I’m on my second one because the first one got lost and not returned. Other than that it has never failed.
