Spear and Jackson Hammers at Tooled-Up.com

Tooled-Up.com stocks Spear and Jackson Hammers for demolition, breaking and heavy striking work on site and around the home. The selection centres on Sledge Hammers, built for jobs where a standard claw or club hammer simply lacks the weight and reach to get the work done.

Spear and Jackson Sledge Hammers are designed for knocking down masonry, driving stakes and posts, breaking up concrete and shifting stubborn fixings. A weighted head and a long handle let you generate force with a swinging motion rather than relying on arm strength alone.

For tradespeople who need a dependable striking tool without paying for features they will never use, Spear and Jackson Hammers offer a straightforward, practical choice.

Key Features of Spear and Jackson Hammers

The features below are what to look for when comparing Spear and Jackson Sledge Hammers. Check each product listing for exact specifications.

• Weighted forged heads: a heavy head carries momentum through the swing, so each blow delivers more impact with less effort.
• Long handles: extra length increases swing arc and striking power, and keeps you further from the point of impact when breaking up material.
• Hardened striking faces: designed to withstand repeated blows against brick, stone and concrete without deforming.
• Shock-absorbing handle designs: a well-shaped handle helps reduce vibration travelling to the hands and wrists over a long day of breaking out.
• Secure head fixing: a firmly fitted head is essential for safe use, giving you confidence with every swing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sledge hammer used for?

A sledge hammer is used for heavy striking jobs such as demolishing brickwork, breaking concrete, driving posts and stakes, and knocking out stubborn fixings.

How do I choose the right sledge hammer weight?

Choose a lighter head if you will be swinging for long periods or working at a controlled pace. Go heavier for demolition and breaking dense materials, but only if you can swing it safely and with good control.

Can I use a sledge hammer with a chisel?

Sledge hammers are intended for direct striking. For striking cold chisels or bolsters, a club hammer is usually the safer choice, as its face and weight are better suited to that task.

How should I look after a sledge hammer?

Check the head is tight on the handle before each use, replace any cracked or damaged handle, and store the hammer dry to prevent rust on the head.
