Based in California, Acme Sledgeworks is hand-crafting sledge hammers, maces and weights for the fitness market that are seriously more durable, burly and impressive than whatever else you’re working out with. We’re talking about a 32″ long, 20 lb sledge called “The Godfather,” a 10 lb mace dubbed “The Justice,” a dumbbell set with 3 lb or 5 lb options affectionately referred to as “The Biscuits,” and a whole line of other different weight options and styles in between. Whatever weight set or style you go with, working out with handmade gear from Acme Sledgeworks will make you feel far more productive. It doesn’t hurt that the products will also look cool as hell when they’re not in use.
