Sledge Hammer With Wooden Handle

Sledgehammers are often used in demolition work, for breaking through drywall or masonry walls.
Sledgehammers were formerly widely used in mining operations, particularly hand steel, but are rarely used in modern mining. Sledgehammers are also used when substantial force is necessary to dislodge a trapped object (often in farm or oil field work), or for fracturing concrete.
Another common use is for driving fence posts into the ground. Sledgehammers are used by police forces in raids on property to gain entry by force, commonly through doors.
They were and still are commonly used by blacksmiths to shape heavy sections of iron.
