Council 8 lb. Sledge Hammer

Description

Council 8 lb. Sledge Hammer

* 8# double face sledge hammer with hickory handle.

* Forged tool steel head, Made in USA, with clear lacquer finish to deter rust.

* Striking face is precision machined with proper radius and chamfer (bevel), providing safer performance.

* Heat treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. (Turning after hardening looks more attractive (on competitor’s tools) but leaves less depth.)

* Heat treatment produces fine grain structure and Rc 46-54 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness.

* 36′ American-made hickory handle, kiln dried before turning. Eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly.

* Handle is hydraulically inserted into head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2′ to 1′ of handle length is removed during assembly.

* Meets or exceeds ASME B107.54-2001.

This product meets the GSA spec for NSN# 5120-00-251-4489.
