Tackle demanding construction, automotive, agricultural, and industrial tasks with the hard-hitting yet controlled power of the Estwing Soft Face Sledge Hammer. Engineered for high-performance in tough environments, this hammer combines durability, safety, and precision.

The forged alloy steel head is case hardened and then tempered to reduce the striking face hardness to 30–35 HRC. This controlled softness allows the head to mushroom upon impact with harder materials, significantly reducing the risk of damaging the workpiece a major advantage over conventional hardened-face sledge hammers. It’s the ideal tool for striking softer or delicate materials where a traditional hammer could cause serious damage or failure.

Attached securely to a 36″ double-injected fiberglass handle, the hammer offers exceptional strength and resistance to wear, shock, and overstrike damage. The dual-textured rubber grip is ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable and slip-resistant hold in both single- and two-handed positions, while also helping to dampen vibrations during repeated use.

An extra-thick section below the head adds overstrike protection, absorbing impact from missed strikes and protecting the handle from premature wear.

Tackle heavy-duty construction, automotive, agricultural, and industrial tasks with the controlled power of the Estwing Soft Face Sledge Hammer. Built for performance in the toughest environments, this hammer offers an ideal balance of durability, impact force, and surface protection.

The forged alloy steel head is case-hardened and tempered to a striking face hardness of 30–35 HRC. This controlled hardness allows the face to mushroom slightly on impact—minimizing damage to struck surfaces. Ideal for working with softer or more delicate materials that might be damaged by a standard sledge hammer.

Its 36-inch handle is crafted from double-injected fiberglass, delivering exceptional strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear. The dual-textured rubber grip provides a secure, ergonomic hold—whether used one- or two-handed—and helps reduce slippage in harsh or wet conditions.

To combat fatigue during extended use, the handle features a vibration-dampening core. An extra-thick overstrike guard just below the head further protects the handle from missed strikes, extending the tool’s working life.
