Stanley 56-218 Blacksmith Hammer 2.5 Lb Fiberglass Handle

Product Description

The STANLEY 56-218 is a forged steel blacksmith hammer designed for heavy striking tasks in fabrication, metalworking, and general trade applications. The head is forged from steel for durability and impact resistance, and the handle is constructed from fiberglass for a firm, vibration-dampening grip. With a head weight of 2.5 pounds and an overall length of 13.75 inches, this hammer is sized for controlled power in tight or open work environments. It suits professionals who need a reliable striking tool that holds up under repeated use.

This hammer is suited for metalworking shops, fabrication yards, and job sites where a heavy-duty striking tool is required. Blacksmith hammers of this type are commonly used for shaping metal, driving chisels, and general heavy-duty hammering tasks. The 2.5-pound head weight provides the mass needed for forceful strikes without excessive fatigue during extended use. The fiberglass handle resists moisture, oils, and splitting, making it appropriate for both indoor shop use and outdoor field applications.
