Get in or get out fast with Akron’s lightest sledge.  Akron’s 8 lb. sledge might not be the heaviest hammer you can swing, but it may be the most efficient. In situation where it has to be carried longer distances or up more stories, its lighter head can make it significantly less fatiguing to transport…and use. The tapered, full-length 36” fiberglass handle provides enough flexibility to maximize impact. Its oval cross section, textured grip surface, and knob end provide a secure handhold, wet or dry, even with gloves. So you can swing it with more control and better accuracy for faster penetration. And because this solid, bright yellow handle is virtually unbreakable—and so visible—it’s a tool you’ll be able to hold onto for years of hard use.
