Overview: The document provides detailed information about Armstrong MaxxLock™ Hammers and Sledges, highlighting their design, safety features, and specifications.
Specifications: MaxxLock tools are designed to be lighter than comparable products, enhancing safety when used at height. For example, an 8-pound sledge weighs 8.7 lbs compared to 11.2 lbs for similar tools. The tools feature fiberglass core handles that outperform traditional hickory handles, offering superior strength and resistance to overstrike damage.
Safety Features: The MaxxLock™ head-to-handle locking system combines locking components and epoxy to provide over 10,000 pounds of pull-off resistance, ensuring safety and durability. The tools also have slip-resistant reverse-ribbed grips and are tether-ready with a copper-reinforced lanyard attachment point for working at height.
Product Range: The document lists various models, including sledges and ball pein hammers, with different weights and handle lengths. Notable models include the 32” - 8 lb. sledge (69-707) and the 14” - 24 oz. ball pein (69-713).
Additional Features: An optional 24-inch handle is available for the 8 lb. sledge, improving control and complying with tools-at-height best practices. The fiberglass structure of the handles is tested to withstand over 5,000 overstrikes without bending, outperforming steel rod handles.
Manufacturer Information: The tools are manufactured by Apex Tool Group, LLC, located in Sparks, Maryland. The document notes that specifications are subject to change without notice.
