The Stanley Compo-Cast Sledge Model Soft Face Hammer features a non-sparking soft striking face, as well as a urethane covering to reduce noise pollution while working. Easy to wield, yet heavy enough for effective results, its steel reinforced handle provides added strength and safety by resisting breaking on overstrike, while its dead-blow function uses a steel shot to eliminate bounce back. Its flat head area allows for convenient upright storage. The hammer is 36 inches long and weighs 11-1/2 pounds.

From the Manufacturer

The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut; was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Frederick’s cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become it’s famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products. Today, more than ever, Stanley continues to be an industry leader in tool innovation. In 2001, Stanley introduced more than 100 new products, bringing to 400 the number of new products introduced in the past four years. As a direct result of Stanley’s commitment to excellence, Stanley was awarded the Prestigious Golden Hammer Award, presented for New Product Innovation in both 2000 and 2001.
