Sledge Hammer

Sledge Hammer is a type of tool that consists of a long handle and a heavy metal head used for breaking or demolishing hard surfaces, such as concrete, rocks, or walls. It is commonly used in construction and demolition work.

The sledgehammer is designed to deliver a powerful force to a specific area with each strike. The weight of the hammerhead varies, but it typically ranges from 6 to 16 pounds (2.7 to 7.3 kg). The head may be made of steel, iron, or other heavy metals, and is often coated with paint or rust-resistant materials to protect it from wear and tear.

The long handle of the sledgehammer is made of wood or a composite material, and it is designed to provide leverage and absorb shock when striking hard surfaces. The handle may have a rubber or plastic grip to help prevent slipping during use.

Sledgehammers are often used in pairs with one person holding the chisel or other tool while the other strikes it with the sledgehammer. This technique is commonly used in masonry work to break apart large stones or concrete blocks.
