Well, actually its funny you should ask... Sorry, been busy swinging away the last decade or more, my hands don't really enjoy typing too much! But, this is who swings a 30lb sledge hammer... Well, mine is 26lbs, I inheirted from my grandfather (on my mother's side, the "smaller" side, my grandfather took a ship alone to America at the age of 8 and grew up in a boy's home in nyc until old enough to check himself out, and he went to work for the railroad for a very short time before realizing he would become a master mechanic and he enrolled in trade school. Graduated in 1921 and in 1945 opened his own mechanic shop (which later added two gas pumps, a used car lot, and a three bay carwash in a building down the street.) He died the year I was born, shortly before I arrived, funny thing, I was born dead.... and my great uncles all think I am his reincarnation! lol. Eventhough we are Catholics...) He stood 5'4" and weighed 140lbs soaking wet at the time he would have been swinging this sucker! Took this video at 3pm, so I was pretty shot by the time I started to film the video that goes with this pic! Its on my youtube channel, well it will be shortly. If your interested in seeing this giant hunk of steel being swung, and even watch me whack my foot so hard I thought I had broke it! lol, just kept swinging and filming! Enjoy. P.S. I am a Masonry Contractor in Upstate NY. My business is "Iannone Building and Contracting," named after my grandfather's old business Iannone's Garage!" This is only one of the dozens of his tools I still use on a regular basis! And, they out perform and outlast new tools by such a vast amount it makes me sick
