Sledgehammer weighs about 5 kg (11 lb).
💧 That's about the weight of 5 liters of water — or 4 laptops 💻, or 8 basketballs 🏀.
At 5 kg, it ranks #16 of 23 in Tools (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than Socket set (4.5 kg) and lighter than Chainsaw (5.5 kg).
This object made the catalog specifically because its weight defies expectations — one of the most surprising entries here.
Ten times the weight of a claw hammer.
