The amount of beryllium in a beryllium-copper alloy is low, but a sledge head is prone to chipping. The real health risk of using a beryllium-copper sledge isn't clearly established, but I'd bet it's pretty low. Using an aluminum-copper sledge instead is cheap insurance.

Beryllium is a toxic metal, and in it's pure form can be dangerous. There is little proof it is dangerous when it is in an alloy, but then again Jenny McCarrthy can claim on Nnational TV that Thimerisol (mercury compound) in vaccines made her kid autistic even though there is zero scientific proof.

Why is it important that it's beryllium-free? I only want to know one thing…

Why is it important that it’s beryllium-free?
