I still have copies of the original blueprints. The idea was to make the grip easier to hold on to in the oily muddy conditions on a rig site. As fiberglass handle became more prominent Nulpa was contacted to manufacture the hammer with the fiberglass version of the handle. We now supply that design to Halliburton with additional modifications to improve the safety and reliability of the Nupla version.

Handles are fiberglass, that makes 'em a bit lighter. The grip is absolutely perfect for when you are wearing thick gloves. That's why we used them. They won't slip while wearing leather gloves.

I thought the grip was wierd looking but after using it I like it. It has a good feel and helps you grip the hammer. I have a dead blow hammer with a grip like that.

A light grip would reduce the shock into your hands/arms.. and the ridges would help the hammer flying across the room. Thats my guess.. do I get a prize for getting it right? ha Tim Guessing the ribs are to prevent the sledge from slipping out of your hands when you have a light grip on it during some heavy duty ’sledging’.
