Ever seen a 25 pound sledge hammer? Now you can say 'yes' if someone else asks you that question. Note the thicker reinforced handle on this beast -- needless to say, you can get a lot of force behind it. This hammer is used for levering and not for clobberin' stuff -- and it's a good one. This hammer had to actually be imported from a foreign country.You won't find one of these at a local hardware store, this hammer is not exactly "street legal."
