Doesn’t need to be swung hard to split wood. Let the hammer do the work.
Used it with a wedge to split a 150ft x 3ft tree into firewood. If you want power, it’s the tool for the job. Heavy, well-made, sturdy, durable, nice shock-absorbing fiberglass handle.
Does what it’s supposed to do. Not a complicated tool. Seems tough enough to last any homeowner a long time.
This is one of the best built products of this kind that I have seen available.
Very happy with this purchase!
HAD TO DIG UP AN 8″ WOODEN FENCE POST 30″ DEEP WITH 240 lbs OF CONCRETE AROUND THE BASE. THIS BUSTED EVERY THING UP AND MADE THE JOB SUPER EASY. LOVE IT
This might be too much hammer for some people. But if you need to do heavy work, this will do it. One clean hit will shatter concrete, so it might be a bit much for interior walls or floors.
By far the best sledge I have ever used, and I have used more than I care to admit. The wide head seems to promote more even striking and more driving force. The handle is comfortable in the hand and it is well balanced and easy to get a full swing. Stop looking and buy this one. You will. It regret it.
Got this off Amazon Warehouse because it was scratched?!?! Plenty more scratches have shown up, this thing is great. I’m a fan of Fiskars, they usually make good stuff and since most of my sledge hammers are old school and nearly 40 years old or older this new design is way more efficient than the old stuff. Good, heavy head about pops open white oak just letting it fall with little effort put into an actual swing. I also use it to drive rebar into footings or slabs before a concrete pour. Good purchase.
I use this mallet with my Kindle Cracker. So far I’ve probably spent 2-3 hours using it this heating season. On straight grain pieces of wood it only takes 2-3 strikes to split. I would expect this tool to last my lifetime for what I’m asking of it.
This is a well built sledge for the toughest jobs. The fiberglass handle absorbs the shock and the head is permanently affixed to the handle. Expensive but good value for the money.
Great sledge, was perfect for breaking up concrete in the back yard with the wedge demo head. Highly recommended for home remodels, yard work, and people who park their cars in your parking spot.
Have used the axe side to bust up part of a 6 inch thick sidewalk without any trouble. The flat side works great for driving 2×4’s into the ground. Also, It feels heavier than 16lb.
his sledge has a mitered head and a flat head. it took me no time to break up a concrete slab into small pieces . i only wish i had more to do. it’s a terrific tool of great value
Well built and will last a lifetime. It costs a little more, but after heavy use it has held up well. It is well balanced and after using it all day I was surprised that my arm did not feel tired.
Bought this to bust up a concrete patio… works great as long as I get the concrete up off the soft ground a bit. Seven hits or so, then used a bar to pry the pieces apart so they were large enough for the wheelbarrow. This is a heavy swinging hammer and will definitely get your arms, shoulder, and back in great shape. Very impressive to swing this kind of weight and watch it demo the concrete… a great purchase.
It feels a little heavy for the 16lbs it is rated at. This means that either I was harder as a little kid swinging a 20# on concrete or sitting on a couch for years may have had draw backs.
I’m going to guess they updated gravity since I was a kid and I just missed the patch notes.
That said: Fiskars has become incredible. The company that made that affordable aluminum scissors your mom bought when you were a kid now makes the best tools around. I have killed over 100 shovels, their all steel if just fine.
I love my Estwings but.. They are now old tech.
I’m going to have more Fiskars in the future. It looks like trhey will be top of the pile until I can get a Douglas. That will just be framing.
This hammer will rule all. I put my old hammer in the back of the garage, I’ll miss Mjlnir, but this hammer is simply better until I break it.. you better believe I will update this review as soon as I break the hammer.
PERFECT for when needing to convince tree wedges or doing finish work in the kitchen. 12#’s makes quick and efficient work happen like a genie who’s been bottled up too long and in need of a bathroom.

I bought the 8 lb sledge and that’s just about right for me. I’m 5′ 6″ and in average shape. The 8 lb sledge does not have the pointed end for breaking concrete; it has a flat face on both sides.
I’ve only used it for 1/2 of a day. But so far, so good. No loosening of the head so far.
When we use the sledgehammer in our workouts we are striking the earth, not a tire. So the IsoCore that reduces the vibrations is excellent. The head is securely attached. The weight distribution is excellent. It doubles as a short Mace too. Have used it several times over the past few weeks and enjoy it more each time I swing it.
I got the heaviest one. Glad I did. At first, a little tough to swing. After you get used to it, smashing things is a piece of cake. I’ve been breaking apart rocks, concrete, even slamming tree stumps out of the ground. Very happy with this. Can’t stress enough, wear eye protection!
It says “Destroy More” right on the darn thing. Lol. That’s exactly what I used or for. Demo of a wall in our house. Works great and the price matches!
Great sledgehammer! If anything it worked a bit too well and had to do smaller swings to prevent the wedge from being lost in the stump. Used this in combination with a one handed small sledgehammer to break an old tree trunk up. Worked like a charm and am very happy with it.
I picked this up to break down a couple of concrete slabs (both about 4′ square and several hundred pounds each) that were too heavy for me to move whole, and I saved a few bucks over what it was priced at locally. The super effective-demolition edge was exactly what I needed and this sledgehammer made quick work of this task. The grip was comfortable and tactile, and I experienced no noticeable transfer of impact from the blows that I dealt with it. I have purchased a few other Fiskars products (loppers, pole saw, shovels, etc.) and have been pleased with their effectiveness, durability, and value. Would recommend.
Great design.
Okay so at this point I’m pretty sure I have every axe made by fiskars. I have a wood stove and it’s a full time job splitting wood. I have a local tree service drop off wood on a regular basis and some times it’s gum and it a pain to split even with a splitting maul. So I’ve found that with the splitting maul a second person in combination with this hammer it’s not so bad. I’m used and abused all things made by them thus far and they’ve held up when most others failed miserably.
All 3 products shown are Fiskars. The shovel I have used to remove sod from about 600sq ft a year ago and more recently to remove about 2 tons of dirt and rocks. The post hole digger was used the first time on the same day of delivery of the sledgehammer.
Overall read what the products intended use is and keep in mind not everything has a lifetime warranty some are 1,2,3,4,5-ect. Years. Be safe and do it yourself 🙂
Thanks
The dual sided head looks @%#$ing sweet and is really, really useful. Why doesn’t every sledge hammer have a bullet-shaped side? I don’t know, but this one does.
Shock resistance: wood tools transfer shock. This one transfers very little shock. It’s amazing. IDK why any tool handle is made of wood anymore.
The professional contractors at our build site fawned over my hammer. This pleased me in a frankly alarming existential way.
One caveat: I’m reasonably handy, but not a professional contractor. I thought this was a standard weight sledge hammer at 10 pounds. I guess every sledge hammer I had ever used in my life (all 2 of them) were 8 pounders. This one is markedly heavier. I’m reasonably strong at 6’1, but a smaller person might not enjoy the extra weight and might prefer an 8 pounder or a 1-handed sledge.
One thing I have not tried: hitting anything concrete or harder. I smashed up wood and plaster. YMMV if you’re breaking boulders or IDK busting into titanium clad bank vaults or something.
This is a great sledgehammer. I don’t labor with a sledgehammer, I use it for fitness purposes hitting a large tire. I used to split a lot of wood when I was a kid and find it to be therapeutic, and a great workout! I’m a soldier and we have a bunch of tires and plain-Jane sledgehammers that we use as a unit for this fitness purpose. Long story short, I’ve swung a few different sledgehammer on a daily basis. This one is well balanced, and handles easily. I don’t get the kind of discomfort in the hands that I do with the regular wood handles, because the handle is very ergonomic. The head on this sledgehammer is wide, so I can imagine it would be good for actual “real man work” striking splitting wedges, spikes, or rocks. The area where the neck meets the head seems durable. I remember destroying a few poles when I was younger by accidentally reaching too far and skipping them off the splitting wedge. This one could probably take a few of those missed strikes before showing any damage. Great purchase for the price!
Great hammer although just slightly unbalanced. The flat side is a little heavier than the tapered which makes it only just a smidge harder to use the tapered side. Overall fantastic hammer and the shock reduction works extremely well. Hit a concrete filled cinder block and it exploded into a million pieces in the first 3 swings. And it didn’t obliterate my hands, wrists, and shoulders in the process like another hammer would have. Even my wife, who greatly doubted it’s shock absorbing aspect, thought it did an excellent job and reducing stress on the joints when compared to other sledges (or the back of the full tang maul we were also using) Worked great for taking down and busting up my mom’s wooden fence and the concrete supports underground.
I think this Fiskars takes aim at the Wilton 10lb. Sledge. Even though the Fiskars does not have a steel rod running through the handle like the Wilton, I think we have a contender. As for the price, you can go less expensive, but suppose you use this for 20 years; You paid maybe $1.25 a year for your upgrade to a very sexy tool.
This thing looks high-tech and all X-man. Of course it is just a rock on a stick made to smash things. It even has a label on the wedge end that says “Destroy More. 5X more destructive.” That is not high tech, that is toys for boys marketing. Works for me. And it is a thing of beauty– at least until you smash an old patio to pieces and give it some character scars.
Proceeding from the praiseful to the practical, the head is indeed 10lbs. That makes it a “light” sledge hammer, but it is as much weight as I would want to have at the end of a long handle. The handle has a rubber coating for good grip. The fat round driving face quickly acquires battle scars so the steel is somewhat soft. I have no idea if that is supposed to be a good thing. One side is a wedge, like a blunt maul. The driving face is a big fat round surface that will pound in tree stakes with ease, as long as you don’t swing yourself right off the ladder.

I suggest mounting this hammer over the fireplace.
I have the standard old double sided sledge hammer and it worked fine. Then I tried the new Friskars. This thing is a beast. It has a wedge head and the standard head. The wedge does do some damage. 5 Times more they claim, and that seems about right. I pounded a large wedge into a big oak log and was very impressed. The balance of this sledge is very nice. I also noticed a lot less handle vibration. It felt very nice swinging this beast. The sound of metal on metal was very satisfying. The grip is nonslip and feels very good in my hands. It was easy to hold with my gloves on.
This thing is great. A very nice upgrade for the old run of the mill hammers.
Notes:
– Huge update on the classic Sledge
– Nonslip handle
– Reduced handle vibration
– Very well balanced
– Very useful wedged head on one side
– Feels great in your hands, easy to swing
– No handle hole to hang it by
