Roughneck Gorilla Sledge Hammer - 5.5Kg (12 Lb)

It is better to use the primary hardened faces for steel, but be aware that repeated high-velocity striking on hardened steel surfaces can eventually damage the hammer face.

The dome shape focuses all the kinetic energy into a small contact area, significantly increasing the PSI to crack hard materials like concrete or stone.

While the handle is robustly fitted for safety, it is designed for the lifetime of the tool; however, it should be serviced by a professional tool repair shop if replacement is needed.

No. The non-hardened side face is specifically meant for wood. Striking metal with the non-hardened side could lead to deformation of the hammer face.

If the head chips, the metal may be structurally compromised. You should stop using the tool to avoid injury from flying metal shards.

Discontinue use immediately. Check if the wedge has migrated and consult a professional for re-hanging or replace the handle entirely.

Scrub the affected area with a wire brush or steel wool, then apply a thin layer of protective oil or rust-inhibitor spray.

Clean the grip with a mild degreaser and water to remove oils or dirt, then dry thoroughly.
