Dewalt has officially announced their new line of ExoCore sledge hammers and axes, which feature carbon fiber composite handles
Why carbon fiber? Dewalt says that their carbon fiber and composite handles will contribute to tool durability, overstrike protection, and light tool weight.
We had a quick look at the new Dewalt ExoCore carbon fiber-featured sledge hammers and axes at their last media event.

The tools definitely had a high-end feel to them, not to mention a striking appearance. Ha – did you see what I did there?!
