B.A.S.H. Sledge

[Tennessee Cattleman]

I know this is a little off topic for this forum, but has anybody with hands on experience with Wilton's B.A.S.H. sledge hammers formed a opinion about them. They look pretty durable and I have had several sledge handles break on me.

I can't even get my head around the idea of spending $150 on a sledge hammer.

Choose a quality wood handle and learn not to over strike.

The 8 lb. runs about $80 and over striking is not a problem for me. I am a large sized fellow and quite capable of putting some force behind a sledge hammer.

....over striking is not a problem for me.

My apologies. I guess $80 ain't too bad.

May I ask what your primary use for this tool is?

 

[Tennessee Cattleman]

I use the sledge for different things on the farm. Busting or shearing small limestone rock outcrops in fields is usually were my sledge looses its head.

Those rocks are tough on the equipment, aren't they?

Where are they made?
