We would call that a 3-pound sledge. The correct name is engineer's hammer.
What Rob sent me a photo of was a drill hammer (miners had a slang name for
them but I can't seem to recall it). The drill hammer has a softer head for
hitting steel drills with. I guess you guys may use the term interchangablely
for either type.

Lump hammer? Is that what we call a sledgehammer over here, from the "get
a bigger hammer" school of auto mechanics?
Small sledge hammer, hand-holdable with one hand.
Cheers,
