Review of Pony 65-172 12 -Pound Sledge Hammer With 36-Inch Fiberglass Handle

I do not know what sledge hammers are traditionally used for... extremely large nails? Or just breaking stuff? This brief review is based on it's merits as a shovel glove tool. It hits all the marks, looks cool, a giant hammer, and really made the ups guy angry when delivering. The rubber grip on the bottom is great for 'churning butter' and 'shoveling' although for the 'chopping wood' movement, there is this tiny hole in the handle whose rubber is a little ragged (I'm probably overly sensitive to it, I just slide my hand up or down a bit... this is the supporting hand, not the hand near the heavy bit). Also, I did have to alter my butter churning a bit, 36 inch handle + apartment roof = danger. It is heavy, I don't know how many times I read recommendations to "start small" and laughed... I mean 12 pounds? Come on.

As it turns out, something on the internet was true, and 12 pounds is a bit heavy. I'm about 5' 9" 180 pounds and sit at a computer about 14 hours a day. Initially I could only do reps of 20 per side 'chopping wood'. I still think it's worth it, as this is supposed to be exercise, just start slowly and make sure to check your posture. Also, this thing will wreck a computer chair if you are trying to watch the office and getting lazy about correct placement. All in all I'd recommend this hammer. I've found a few auxiliary uses for mine as well, breaking ice in a cooler? 'churn butter' (pre drink insertion obviously) 2 or 3 times and you're golden.
