Halfway Sledgehammer

The Halfway Sledgehammer is a compact, heavy-duty striking tool designed for forcible entry, ventilation, overhaul, and close-quarters fireground operations. Featuring a shortened 24-inch handle, this specialized sledge allows firefighters to generate effective striking force in hallways, stairwells, confined rooms, and other areas where a full-length axe or sledgehammer may be difficult to swing.

Built for demanding professional use, the sledge head is drop forged from high-carbon steel for strength, durability, and dependable performance. Available in 6 lb. and 8 lb. configurations, the Halfway Sledgehammer allows departments and firefighters to select the striking weight best suited to their operational needs.

Handle options include HiViz Orange, HiViz Lime, and Black fiberglass configurations. The solid pultruded fiberglass handle provides strength and durability without the splintering associated with wood, while a non-slip grip improves control during striking operations. Reflective striping helps firefighters locate the tool in dark and low-light environments.

The Halfway Sledgehammer is available with or without a marry bar. The optional marrying bracket allows the tool to be paired with a Halligan bar for convenient carrying, storage, and deployment. Standard handle length is 24 inches, with an overall length of approximately 26 inches when equipped with the marry bar. Each model is manufactured in the U.S.A. for dependable performance in structural firefighting, forcible entry, ventilation, and overhaul applications.
