Wilton B.A.S.H 12" Sledge Hammer, 4 Lb Head (20412)

Amazing! Everyone needs one

Called a closet or hallway sledge, carried between my SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) waist belt and me, for breaking stuff. Choak up on it, it can be used one handed but at 24" there is enough room for 2 hands. For when there isn't enough room for a full-sized sledgehammer. Wilton says the rubber handle won't melt unless left in a fire.

You may ask who needs a 10lb hammer with a short handle. IYKYK. If you've ever bonked the fender of a pretty truck with a long handle, it all makes sense. These BASH hammers have a great reputation for incredible durability. I needed to beat the stuffing out of some parts in a tight space, now it's done.

I just tried my new 16 inch sledge hammer to split some firewood with a wedge and also with a standing splitter with ring. Result is there is a huge difference between a 14 inch and a 16 inch sledge even though they both have a 4 lb. heads. I am very pleased with it even though it was a little pricey but those two inches matter greatly with the impact force. The hammer looks well built and sturdy and the larger wood chunks have no chance of not splitting. Very much fun.

The most skookum fourteen pound 10 pound sledgehammer I've ever used. I tell people it's claimed unbreakable. They ask me if I'm going to put that to the test. Absolutely not, this mallet is much stronger than I could ever muster.

Like the durability and shock absorption of this Wilton . Fits easy in one of my bolt bags & easy can be tethered. If job site requires it .

I am using this almost daily on construction projects. I like the shock absorbing handle and the green color. I can easily spot it.

This 10 lb Wilton BASH sledgehammer is built like a tank. I used it to take down a 4-inch thick concrete driveway, and it absolutely delivered. Within a few swings, the concrete was cracking apart.🟢 Build Quality:The steel core and handle are rock solid. I didn’t feel any flex or looseness even after heavy pounding.🟢 Ease of Use:Despite being 10 lbs, the balance is perfect. It swings smooth and lands hard without tiring you out too quickly.⚖️ Weight:Heavy enough to break thick slabs, but still manageable for extended use.💲 Value for Money:You get serious demolition power for the price. It's a professional-grade tool that makes light work of tough jobs.🔧 Functionality:It works — just pick it up and swing. No gimmicks. Cracks concrete, breaks rocks, you name it.📏 Handle Length:The long handle gives excellent leverage. I’m 6' and I didn’t feel like I needed to adjust or reposition.⚠️ Downside – Rubber Face Came Off Immediately:Here’s the one issue: The rubber cap on the striking face tore up after the very first slab.Now it’s just the steel core hitting concrete. Still works, but there’s no more shock absorption,Its fell of like 4 strikes in could have just been a flaw.If Wilton offered an easy replacement cap for this model, I’d bump it up to 5 stars — no question.
