About ABC Hammers
ABC Hammers makes brass, bronze/copper and dead blow hammers in the USA from Sarasota, Florida. Its Stryker steel hammers are made in South Africa.
Brass and bronze hammers that won't spark
ABC Hammers builds hammers for jobs where a steel face is the wrong tool. Brass and bronze don't throw sparks, which matters around fuel and flammable vapor, and they don't mar machined metal. The company calls its brass hammers its most durable non-sparking line and its bronze/copper hammers its softest face, for work where protecting the surface comes first. It also makes dead blow and soft-face hammers and custom hammers for OEM customers.
The company says it has made hammers in the USA for over 50 years. Its address is 7216 21st St. E in Sarasota, Florida. Its brass sledges and drilling hammers, with fiberglass or wood handles, are part of that US-made line.
The Stryker line is imported
Not every ABC hammer is American-made, and the company says so on its homepage. Its Stryker steel hammers, the Stryker PRO and Stryker XHD, are marked "Made in South Africa." ABC says they were tested to more than 36,000 strikes without failing.
If you want a US-made ABC hammer, buy from the brass, bronze/copper or dead blow lines. If a listing says Stryker or steel, it is the imported line.
