It’s a 20lb head. The original wooden handle broke one day. Had a welder friend fix the handle XD. So it’s another 10lbs of ~1.5inch construction grade rebar. It will out last me. Hoping to make it an heirloom.

Aren’t the impacts painful? I’ve used small hammers that were all steel and they weren’t there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.

Surprisingly no. Infact it’s about on par with another 16lber I’ve got with the fancy fiberglass and stuff built in.
I think the sheer mass absorbs most of it. The rest is technique. Slightly loosening the left hand grip just before impact. Then again, not much is resisting this monster either.
