AI-generated imageThe Garland 35005 is the Size 5 split-head hammer body, the largest standard casting in Garland's split-head line, with a 2-3/4" face diameter. It is sold as the bare casting with no faces included. The head splits into upper and lower jaws that clamp around interchangeable striking faces, so one hammer body can be fitted with different face materials to suit the job. Garland describes the split-head design as doing the work of several different hammers because the face is easy to change.
Refractory installers and furnace maintenance crews rely on Garland's BASA hammer line, which has been the leading refractory hammer for decades. It is used for installing and demolishing refractory brick (firebrick) in coke ovens, blast furnaces, and similar applications. The Size 5 body carries the most mass in the line, which makes it the natural choice for heavy demolition and large brick work. Garland also notes soft-faced split-head hammers are well suited to punches, setter dies, and any job where a heavy, cushioned blow is wanted.
Common configuration: 2-3/4" face diameter, 5.25 lb head weight for the bare casting (about 6.5 lb once faces are fitted, as on the rawhide-faced 31005 and nylon-faced 32005 hammers), 4" head length for the bare casting (5-3/4" with faces), alloy steel head finished in green, and a nominal 14" wood handle. The 35005L variant uses the same casting with a 36" wood handle for added reach and leverage. The replacement handle for the 35005 is the Garland 53005, a 16" handle with a 1-1/2" by 1" oval eye that ships with a wood wedge and a steel wedge, and a 36" replacement handle (53365) is also listed for the 31005 and 35005.
Stop second-guessing. Match your use case below — then let ChatMRO's AI surface the exact body, handle length, and alternatives in one natural-language search.
Coke oven, blast furnace, and other refractory work where mass behind the blow matters. The standard 35005 body dominates here.
Buyers who want to match the face to the work surface rather than accept a pre-faced hammer. The bare 35005 body plus separately ordered faces dominates here.
Demolition and installation work where a longer handle gives better reach or leverage. The 35005L dominates here.

The 35005 is the heaviest standard Garland body. If the work doesn't need that much mass, the smaller bodies in the line (down to 1-1/4") are lighter and easier to control.
The 35005 ships with no faces, and faces must match the 2-3/4" Size 5 diameter. Confirm the face material you want is available in Size 5 before ordering.
Rawhide, copper, urethane, and Gar-Dur plastic are Garland's listed face materials, and some distributors also list nylon. Select based on how the face needs to protect or work the material.
The nominal 14" handle suits controlled work, while the 35005L's 36" handle gives more reach and leverage. Plan replacement handles too: the 53005 is 16" with a 1-1/2" x 1" oval eye, and the 53365 is a 36" handle.
The bare casting is 5.25 lb, but a faced Size 5 hammer is about 6.5 lb. Factor that into fatigue for repetitive swinging.

Faced Size 5 hammers such as the 31005 and 32005 are listed at about 6.5 lb, so the finished tool is noticeably heavier than the bare casting.
The 53005 is a 16" handle with a 1-1/2" x 1" oval eye, while the 53365 is a 36" handle for the 31005 and 35005. Confirm which handle length your hammer uses before ordering.

No — the 35005 is the bare Size 5 split-head casting with no faces included; faces are purchased separately and must match the 2-3/4" diameter. If you want a complete hammer, the 31005 comes with rawhide faces and the 32005 with nylon faces. Search the body and compatible faces together on ChatMRO to compare pricing and availability instantly.
Both use the same 2-3/4" casting at 5.25 lb with no faces, but the 35005L comes with a 36" wood handle for extra reach and leverage, while the standard 35005 has a nominal 14" handle. ChatMRO can surface both handle lengths from a single description search.
The bare casting weighs 5.25 lb (listed as about 5.3 lb by some distributors), and a Size 5 hammer with faces fitted, such as the 31005, is listed at about 6.5 lb. ChatMRO provides access to manufacturer weight specifications directly from search results.
