About American Hammer

American Hammer's product line includes various copper, brass, bronze and alloy hammers with aluminium, rubber, steel, hickory, wood and fibreglass handle options. The brand's sledge hammers are suitable for use in the construction and mining industries for demolition, breaking up concrete or rocks & driving stakes.

They feature urethane handles to absorb impacts and reduce operator fatigue.

What is the difference between sledge hammers and dead blow hammers?

A sledgehammer has a heavy, solid steel head with a long handle that delivers a large amount of force with a single hit. In contrast, a dead blow hammer has a hollow head filled with sand or other material to absorb stress and reduce rebound.
