Working Mechanism

  • Sledgehammers utilise a combination of gravity and the force generated by swinging the hammer.
  • The large, heavy head of the hammer is lifted and then swung downwards with force towards the object being struck.
  • The weight and momentum of the head, combined with the force of the swing, creates a powerful impact that can break or damage the object being struck.
  • The handle of the sledgehammer provides leverage and control, allowing the user to direct the force of the swing.
