Expert Reply:
The Drilling Hammer with 11" Fiberglass Handle # PT23VR gets its name due to having such a short length handle. The shorter handle makes this particular hammer more controllable and easier to use with chisels, punches and for driving wedges into rocks for splitting. Mini-sledge hammers will typically have longer handles providing for a greater striking velocity. Those types of hammers are more commonly used by blacksmiths who need larger amounts of force to move steel.
