Rob Studdert sent me a picture. It is what is called a drill hammer here in the 
US. Mild-steel head intended for hitting star-drills, cold chisels, and etc. It 
would be great for giving something a lump, so I can easily see where the name 
came from.

Lump hammer? Is that what we call a sledgehammer over here, from the "get a bigger hammer" school of auto mechanics?


It's a sledge's little brother. Larger than any normal carpentry hammer, with a head shaped like an two-thirds scale sledgehammer head, and a handle that's less than a foot long. Basically, the most hammer that's any good in one hand to the average bloke. Used only for breaking things, and otherwise applying brute force.
