Sando hard face steel sledge, 24" / 4lb/ 1.8kg

This is the Sando Hard Face Sledge Hammer With Unbreakable Handle.

Sando developed its unbreakable-handle sledge hammer in 1975 for hard rock mining conditions in South Africa, and its range of unbreakable striking tools has sold more than 6 million units worldwide.

The handle is a series of high tensile spring steel rods with very strong, abrasion-resistant rubber moulded around them under a high compression factor, and the head is vulcanised to the rubber during moulding and secured to the rods by a positive locking plate.

Where this product is used
