I love it when people use the internet to say China makes crap because they are using Asian made phones, computers, or whatever to spew their hate.
to be fair china does make some incredibly crappy crap lol. But I'm guessing anyone that complains about it here probably believed american manufacturing would come back and that tariffs were a wonderful idea
This is only a 3# hand sledge, so it's not as critical, but... a sledge is, maybe surprisingly to some, one of the tools you least want one piece construction for, unless it's a sheathed shaft handle. To the best of my knowledge, Estwing doesn't have any kind of shock dampening technology, either proprietary or licensed, for their sledgehammers, so I would not buy a heavier sledge from them for use in demolition.
Trust me, you want shock dampening, your joints will thank you for decades to come.
Personally, I like Fiskars. Almost zero bone rattling going up your arms. I have their 10#, with a 3' handle. the handle is... I think fiberglass in a steel sleeve, with a rubberized grip. Yeah, it isn't solid steel, but you don't want it to be. Steel transfers mostly all of the shock into your shoulders.
