Great Sledge
By Robert W. Chambers
A great sledgehammer for specialty jobs. It is deadblow, which means it:1) does not bounce after you hit something. You may be surprised the first few times you use it, expecting the usual recoil. But this sledge transfers all the energy down to the thing your bashing, and so there's no energy left to bounce back. Also, because none of the force is lost, this 11.5 pounder seems to me to work as hard as a 16 pounder.2) does not mark the thing you're hitting. Well, you have to really catch the edge to make a mark on wood. If the face of the sledge hits the target flat, then it does not leave a mark.Yes, expensive. But it seems unbreakable (I've used mine in a commercial log home building construction yard for 20+ years--so that's $7 per year, and counting).I am a log home builder, and I teach and write about log home construction (Log Construction Manual: The Ultimate Guide to Building Handcrafted Log Homes and Building Log Homes -- Box 1, Log Walls -- with Robert W. Chambers. I also make a few specialty tools, like my Chambers Scribers ChambersScriber -- Ultimate Log Home Scribers.I do not know of a substitute for this sledge -- nothing else is quite like it. And it is great tool.
