Beyond that, it's pretty simple - over my el cheapo HDX claw hammer (which I keep in the bin for stake removal, and for someone else to help with stakes), a mini sledge is:
- 2lb vs 16 oz for way more force
- larger surface area for fewer missed hits
- a much safer way to use with an axe for kinding (vs an axe alone)
Crappy Tire has one on sale for $14.99 right now.

Did y’all fail physics in high school? Force = mass x speed2 . Using a bigger hammer is less effective than swinging the hammer faster. Driving spikes on the railroad we used a light pointy-headed sledgehammer with a real long handle. No missing allowed because your helper was holding the spike.
