When cutting wire, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses. This will protect your eyes and keep you from hurting yourself. Pliers should never be exposed to extreme temperatures, and the cutting edge should not be rocked while cutting wire.
They come in a variety of weights and lengths and should be used with caution and eye protection.
Modern heavy-duty sledgehammers can weigh up to twenty pounds. The swinging action and large head provide great force.
The Sledgehammer’s handle can range from 50 centimetres to a metre. It usually weighs between one to nine kilograms.
The handle is textured so that it is comfortable to hold and won’t slip when you’re working. A sledgehammer should be used with two hands.
