WiltonB.A.S.H 36" Sledge Hammer, 20 Lb Head (22036)

Couldn't be happier with the B.A.S.H.'s performance (20 pound; 36" handle). Had a quote from a contractor for $15K to demolish an old brick outbuilding, 17' x 20'. Walls were 2 bricks thick. Ordered the B.A.S.H. the night of 12/29/23 and it arrived the morning of New Year's Eve. My smaller (~8 pound) sledgehammer barely left a scratch. But with the B.A.N.G. it took me a total of ~12 hours to reduce the thing to rubble. Great ROI ... and I didn't have to pay a gym membership for the exercise. Now if only Wilton made wheelbarrows, too.

I just bump into this and I tell myself when the price is right, buy it and use it as decoration.This is one bad boy and it is meant for bad boy, if you are sweet and gentle please keep clear

This is probably the highest quality sledgehammer I've ever used. It is extremely well built. I could probably swing this thing at concrete all day for a year and it'd look brand new at the end of it. The handle construction is fantastic as well, driving a splitting wedge through some of the knottiest grand fir I've ever seen and I felt zero reverb. I was honestly amazed.That said, this thing is super heavy. I was used to swinging 8-12 lb hammers and figured the 20 wouldn't be that much different and I could not have been more wrong. This thing is HEAVY. It's almost too heavy to use (as a 6' 220 lb guy in fairly good shape). I laughed and handed it to my wife (who is much smaller) and she could barely lift it over her shoulder. I would definitely not recommend it for anyone who is not either above average strength or using an assist.

Well built, heavy duty, very heavy impact! Broke up 6”+ concrete with just a few blows. Being 40 and not quite the shape I was once in, I took a few more breaks than I expected due to the weight of heaving this hammer. But the weight of this thing does most of the work. It would have been far harder or impossible to swing a lighter sledge with enough force to do what this can. The handle is extremely strong and shock absorbing. Slamming a 20 lb head of this 25 lb hammer against solid concrete sent no repercussions up my arms whatsoever. I’m positive I would have broken the head off a wood handled sledge with the job I did today (having done that a couple times previous on other jobs with a lighter sledge and a splitting axe). That said, I’m 6’3” and a bit overweight at mid 230s, I would not recommend this product for those smaller in stature. But I love it!

I love this hammer. If you have the space and ability to wield it, this hammer only needs one hit to get the job done. I use it at work for anything from brake drums on semis, to reshaping bent metal. This is THE hammer for smashing things. Worth every penny.
