Which tool is typically used for heavy demolition such as breaking rocks?

• A. Sledge Hammer
• B. Circular Saw
• C. Chipping Hammer
• D. Router

Answer: (A)

When you need to break rocks, you want a tool that delivers a lot of energy in a single impact. The sledge hammer fits this need: its heavy head and long handle let you swing with substantial momentum, concentrating force into the rock to crack or shatter it quickly.

Other tools serve different jobs. A circular saw cuts material with a spinning blade, not suitable for breaking large stone. A router shapes or hollows material, usually wood. A chipping hammer provides percussive blows for removing concrete and masonry, but it isn’t as efficient for breaking large rocks as a heavy, manual hammer.
