Ingco Stoning Hammer 4kg HSTH03498 with Fibreglass Handle

Our review

This is a 4kg stoning hammer from Ingco, built around a drop-forged head in 45# carbon steel that has been heat treated, paired with a fibreglass handle. At this weight it is a heavy striking tool, so it suits people doing demolition, breaking masonry, driving stakes or working stone rather than light household tapping. Before buying, think about whether you can swing 4kg comfortably for the length of your task; if not, a lighter club or sledge hammer may serve you better. Check the handle length and grip feel against your working position, and compare head material and forging quality with similar hammers, since those affect how the face holds up. The fibreglass handle is worth weighing against wooden or steel alternatives for how it absorbs shock. Available on Sokonia.
