Sando SDSS700GRBP Hard Face Ball Pein Hammer, 0.7 kg, 356 mm Handle

Sando ball pein hammers use a British pattern head with a precision ground striking face and pein, built on the same unbreakable rubber-moulded handle as the Sando sledge range (manufacturer-stated). Sando describes the handle as a series of high tensile spring steel rods with very strong, abrasion-resistant rubber moulded around them under a high compression factor, and says the head is vulcanised to the rubber during moulding and secured to the rods by a positive locking plate (manufacturer-stated).

This listing has two variants on a 356 mm (14 in) handle with four steel rods: SDSS700GRBP at 0.7 kg (1.5 lb), which Sando marks as new, and SDBP/2-14 at 0.9 kg (2 lb) (manufacturer-stated).

Common specifications

Key specifications

Weights, handle lengths and rod counts are taken from the Sando product brochure (2022) part number table. The brochure notes that product specifications can change without notice, so confirm critical dimensions before ordering.

Selecting the right option

Both variants have the same 356 mm (14 in) handle, so the choice is head weight: 0.7 kg (1.5 lb) is the lighter head and 0.9 kg (2 lb) the heavier. For heavier work see the Sando club and sledge hammers linked below.
