We have two. I painted the handles bright orange so we can find them when we drop them on the lawn or lean them against a tree.

Yes I do. Sometimes it's the only tool that will do.

We also have a professional grade rock hammer (cost $85) and a brick hammer, but perhaps I'm telling too much here.

You don't just drop sledge hammers on the lawn. Why would you have a sledge hammer on the lawn in the first place? Are you sure you're not talking about a pruning shears?

How can I explain to Green Witch what a sledgehammer looks like. There has to be a way. Oh my god! I just looked out the window and my neighbor, Cletus, just happens to be walking by the window, carrying a sledgehammer.
Let me grab my camera....

Senario: Hubby is breaking large rocks for "the never ending rock wall restoration project" on our little farm. I call: "Honey, lunch is ready" - THUD! - hammer falls to lawn. Before they were painted safety orange one of two thing would happen: Hammer lies in lawn until (A)- we hit it with the lawn mower or (B)- Hubby starts yelling "WHO TOOK THE SLEDGE HAMMER, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!" - he then trips on it in the grass and starts cursing at it. Yes, we have sledge hammers on our lawn.

Why would you need a sledgehammer gustav?
Can't you hit the nail with a regular one?

Like Greenwitch's husband, I use sledgehammers for smashing concrete walls. And sometimes, like earlier today, I use them to destroy lawn mowers.

Aha, a weapon of mass destruction in gustav's home.
Why look so far, when the enemy is so near.
Who knew!

No.
But I rent, and don't kill serially.

I used to have one but then I learned to read and started using those instruction manuals that comes with stuff you have to put together and no longer needed the sledge hammer. (or the duck(t) tape)

Nobody ever includes dysassembly instructions.

As usual, the guy with the ball-peen hammer is ignored in favor of Mr. bigshot sledge hammer guy...life is so unfair.
What the hell do people have against a guy with a ball-peen hammer? Huh? HUH!?

I feel sorry for the poor bastards that have no tools. You might find a pliers, or a screwdriver, or sometimes a ball-peen hammer in one of their junk drawers.
