A long heavy hammer, used for driving wedges and posts and for other heavy work.
Additional Information:
Sledgehammers require two hands and a swinging motion involving the entire torso (a sledge requires you to swing from your feet up, not just your shoulder). Sledgehammers are often used in destruction work, for breaking through drywall or masonry walls. Another common use is for driving fence posts into the ground.
The word sledgehammer is derived from the Anglo Saxon "slægan", which, in its first sense, means "to strike violently".
