Overview
Thirty six inches long and 8 pounds, the Estwing EWB-36PS is a solid steel sledgehammer fitted with a shock-reducing grip handle.
Two-handed swings on demolition or stake driving are what a 36 inch handle and 8 pound head are built for, and Estwing pairs that mass with a shock-reducing grip meant to cut down on the vibration heavy repeated swings send into the hands.
- Solid American steel construction
- 8 pound item weight
- 36 inch overall size
- Shock-reducing grip handle material
Who it's for
Suits users doing demolition, stake driving or other heavy striking work who need a long-handled, heavy sledge. Not suited to anyone wanting a light hammer for finish or trim work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 8 pound head for strong striking force
- 36 inch handle for two-handed leverage
- Shock-reducing grip material
- At 8 pounds and 36 inches, too large and heavy for light or precision work
Performance notes
Solid steel construction at 8 pounds delivers more striking force per swing than a lighter hammer, and the shock-reducing grip aims to soften the vibration that travels back through the handle on repeated heavy swings.
