Nupla 26501 Soft Steel Safety Sledge Hammer Fiberglass

Product Description

The NUPLA 26501 is a soft steel safety sledge hammer built for controlled-force applications where surface damage must be minimized. The head is made from soft steel and marked with a blue finish and the letter S for fast visual identification on busy job sites. The ergonomic fiberglass handle reduces vibration and fatigue during extended use. With a head weight in the 3 to 5.9 pound range and an overall length in the 14 to 20.9 inch range, this hammer is sized for one-handed or two-handed striking tasks in trade and industrial environments. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals use this tool for assembly and disassembly work where hard-steel hammers would cause damage.

The 26501 is suited for residential and light commercial job sites where technicians need a reliable soft-face striking tool. Common applications include seating fittings, knocking apart assemblies, and driving components without marring finished or machined surfaces. The blue head color and S marking allow crew members to quickly distinguish this soft-steel tool from standard steel hammers in a shared tool inventory, reducing the chance of grabbing the wrong hammer during a service call.
