A sledgehammer is a tool with a large, flat, often metal head, attached to a long handle. The long handle combined with a heavy head allows the sledgehammer to gather momentum during a swing and apply a large force compared to hammers designed to drive nails. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area. This is in contrast to other types of hammers, which concentrate force in a relatively small area.

The sledgehammer's weight presses into your palms, its handle worn smooth by countless swings. You trace the dents and scratches, each a testament to force unleashed. With each swing, the world quakes, yielding to your relentless strength.
