Sledge hammer KS Tools 142.5101 Steel head Fibreglass handle 26 cm 1.13 kg

The KS Tools 142.5101 sledge hammer combines a forged steel head with a fibreglass handle to deliver reliable striking performance in a compact form. With a 1 kg head and a total weight of 1.13 kg, and a handle length of 26 cm, this tool is designed for controlled impact in maintenance, construction and workshop environments where a shorter reach and concentrated force are required.

Advantages

The steel head provides consistent mass and wear resistance for repeated striking, while the fibreglass handle reduces vibration transmission to the user compared with all-metal handles. The compact 26 cm handle length offers improved control and maneuverability in confined spaces and for tasks that require accurate blows. The overall 1.13 kg weight balances impact power and user handling to reduce fatigue during short to medium duration tasks.

Suitable for

• Driving chisels and stakes in tight areas
• Light demolition and breaking of small components
• Workshop and maintenance use for assembly and disassembly tasks
• Metalworking tasks that require controlled striking
• Construction tasks where a compact, durable hammer is needed

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel
• Handle material: fibreglass
• Head weight: 1.0 kg
• Total weight: 1.13 kg
• Handle length: 26 cm
• Hammer type: sledge hammer (short-handled)

How to use

Grip the fibreglass handle firmly with both hands when space allows, positioning the dominant hand near the end of the handle for maximum control and the other hand closer to the head for guiding the blow. Align the steel head with the target and apply controlled, deliberate strikes; avoid excessive swinging that may cause loss of balance or reduced accuracy. For driving chisels or stakes, strike the tool squarely on its striking surface. Inspect the hammer before use for any visible damage to the head or handle and do not use if any cracks or loosened components are present.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel head. Replace the tool if the handle shows signs of damage or if the head becomes loose. For tasks requiring higher impact energy, consider a longer-handled or heavier sledge hammer to match application demands.
