The genuine hickory wood handles manufactured from the strongest imported hickory provide high-energy transfer and vibration absorption and offer a balanced and controlled swing, reducing user fatigue. A reinforcing collar at the base of the head ensures protection against overstrike damage. These hammers are ideal for light demolition jobs, cutting stone and concrete, and in masonry applications.
