Don't be so quick to make a final judgement about the hammer. A couple of months ago I would have agreed with you but something changed recently.
My Whirlpool washer was not working properly. Luckily it is still under 2nd year Costco warranty. Anyway, they sent an appliance repairman to my house. Being the comedian I thought I was when the repairman showed up I told him I had a handheld sledgehammer ready for him.
He thanked me and told me he didn't need it as he had his own. I chuckled, thinking that was a good humorous response. He started taking the washer apart and low and behold he took out his handheld sledgehammer. It appears that there is a large connector that connects the gearcase to the tub. He used the hammer to loosen and later tighten the connector. Who would have imagined (not me) that you would use a sledgehammer on a device that contains water and has electrical and electronic components.
So I guess the moral of the story is don't be so quick to overlook that sledgehammer. I am, however, glad my ophthalmologist didn't use one when he took out my cataracts.
