Harbor Freight sledge hammers

[bcradio]

Does anyone have any experience with the HF sledge hammers with long handles? I won't use it much so I don't need top of the line or anything.

Thanks

its just a hunk of steel. My main concern would be the handle makes sure its hard wood and looks good no crack etc.

Are the plastic handles pretty worthless there?

got one at the shop that has worked out well. doesn't see real severe use though.

You definitively need a Wilton B.A.S.H!

I busted up alot of concrete with my hf plastic handle sledge
It was fine. The handle does flex slightly though. Would rather
It flex than break while over my head on a down swing.

Thanks guys for the input. Looks like the 12lb is calling my name

I've had a sledge come apart on me sending the head about 30 feet in the air, and landing a foot next to me. It isn't the kinda thing I would like to play games with...
