Kincrome is aย privately-ownedย Australian company that began back inย 1987ย and which now servesย the Automotive, Industrial, and Hardware markets.ย They carry overย 3500 line items, have overย 215,000ย square feetย of warehouse space, andย shipย over 1,300 containers of tools per year. While Kincrome tools arenโt yet available in the USA, the company is growing fast enough to warrant looking into the US marketโand weโve been impressed with what weโve seen to-date. One of the more interesting tools is theย Kincrome Club Hammer which we reviewed alongside their new claw hammers.
Kincrome Club Hammer Features
The Kincrome Club hammer is about as tough a tool as youโll ever use. It comes with an โUnbreakable Guaranteeโ which is more than just a marketing gimmick. The Kincrome club hammer (weโd call this a mini sledge) features a hit rolled steel core that doesnโt bend easilyโand probably wonโt break even if you supply an inordinate amount of leverage to it. That core is actually four 5.5mm reinforced steel barsโitโs no wonder the Kincrome club hammer feels so well put-together.
We love the grip. Itโs easy to hold and doesnโt slip when you swing it. Itโs designed symmetrically, so you can beat on both sides of the head, and the entire handle/head assembly is welded together, so youโre not going to see that heat-treated carbon steel head go flyingโregardless of how many years you use the tool. This, of course, is all backed by Kincromeโs โUnbreakableโ guarantee, so that if the handle breaks during use theyโll replace it free of charge. Incidentally, itโs rated to handle up to 22,000 pounds of force.

Kincromeโsย โUnbreakable Guaranteeโ is extensive, but before you strap some C4 to your Kincrome club hammer to see what itsย limits are, realize that the guarantee is limited to damage to the product incurred as a result of standard operational use in an ordinary industrial environment. The club hammer must also be rendered unusable in order to qualify for replacement. Itโs a real guarantee, but this mini sledge hammer is built so well we doubt anyone will have a legitimate claim under real-world use.
Check out this video of a tank running over the Kincrome IronKore Club Hammer positioned on a cinderblockโฆfollowed by three .22 caliber shots to the handle and aย 42ย foot drop onto a steel tool chest. Iโm a believerโthis hammer is unbreakable.
