Sando SDSLDG/8-24SF Soft Face Steel Sledge Hammer, 3.6 kg, 610 mm Handle
Available
Sando soft face steel sledge hammers have a face hardened to below 25 HRC, which Sando identifies with a blue head (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 covers six weights from 1.8 kg (4 lb) to 6.3 kg (14 lb): SDSLDG/4-12SF on a 305 mm (12 in) handle, SDSLDG/8-24SF on a 610 mm (24 in) handle, and four heads of 3.6 to 6.3 kg on a 762 mm (30 in) handle (manufacturer-stated). The rubber injected into the eye of the head inhibits shock transfer into the handle (manufacturer-stated).

Selecting the right option
The six part numbers differ by head weight and handle length. Sando fits four rods in the 305 mm (12 in) and 610 mm (24 in) handles and six rods in the 762 mm (30 in) handles. SDSLDG/8-24SF and SDSLDG/8-30SF share a 3.6 kg (8 lb) head with the shorter and longer handle. If you need the harder 50-58 HRC face, see the hard face sledge hammers instead.
