Sando SDSLDG/4-24 Hard Face Sledge Hammer, 1.8 kg, 610 mm Handle
Out of stock
Sando developed its unbreakable-handle sledge hammer in 1975 for hard rock mining conditions in South Africa, and says its range of unbreakable striking tools has sold more than 6 million units worldwide (manufacturer-stated).
This listing has four Sando hard face steel sledge hammers: SDSLDG/4-24 (1.8 kg) and SDSLDG/8-24 (3.6 kg) on a 610 mm (24 in) handle, and SDSLDG/8-30 (3.6 kg) and SDSLDG/12-30 (5.5 kg) on a 762 mm (30 in) handle (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).

Selecting the right option
Choose the head weight first, then the handle. SDSLDG/8-24 and SDSLDG/8-30 share a 3.6 kg (8 lb) head with the shorter and longer handle; Sando fits four rods in the 610 mm (24 in) handle and six in the 762 mm (30 in) handle. The heavier 4.5 kg and 6.3 kg heads of the same range are in the separate listing linked below, and the soft face versions (face below 25 HRC) are listed separately.
