Stanley 57-554A Soft Face Sledge Hammer 11.5 Lb

Product Description

The STANLEY 57-554A is a double-face soft face sledge hammer built for heavy demolition and driving tasks where surface protection matters. The hammer head is constructed from urethane, which absorbs impact and reduces damage to finished surfaces, set fasteners, and softer workpiece materials. The handle is urethane-covered steel, providing a firm, slip-resistant grip while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for full-force swings. At 11.5 pounds head weight and 39.125 inches overall length, this tool delivers serious striking force suited for masonry work, form stripping, and general demolition in both residential and commercial construction environments.

This sledge hammer is commonly used by general contractors, demolition crews, and tradespeople who need a heavy-impact tool that will not mar or chip surfaces susceptible to steel face damage. The soft urethane head is appropriate for driving wooden stakes, striking chisels with plastic handles, seating materials without surface marring, and general-purpose demolition where controlled impact is required. The 36.125-inch handle length provides extended reach and leverage for high-force applications.

Installation Notes

Inspect the urethane head and handle connection before each use and remove from service if cracking, loosening, or deformation is present. Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses when performing striking operations. Ensure the strike zone is clear of bystanders before swinging. Soft face heads are not intended for use against hardened steel surfaces, which can cause premature head deterioration.
