Nupla 26504 Soft Steel Safety Sledge Hammer

Product Description

The NUPLA 26504 is a soft steel safety sledge hammer built for trade professionals who need controlled striking force without the risk of sparking or damaging hardened surfaces. The head is manufactured from soft steel and color-coded blue, giving crews fast visual identification on busy job sites. The letter S is marked directly on the head for immediate material identification. The ergonomic fiberglass handle, known as the Ergo-Power design, absorbs vibration and reduces fatigue during repetitive strikes. The head measures 6.38 inches in length and 2.25 inches in diameter, with a head weight in the 6 to 9.9 pound range. Total weight of the unit is 10 pounds.

This hammer is suited for use in industrial, construction, mechanical, and utility applications where soft-faced or non-sparking striking tools are required. It is commonly used by pipefitters, millwrights, ironworkers, and general maintenance professionals when driving pins, chisels, or stakes without marring hardened tooling or in environments where spark risk must be minimized. The overall handle length falls in the 21-inch-and-longer range, providing sufficient swing leverage for heavy-duty tasks.
