The Slammer is one of the most useful and versatile tools on the planet. The slide-hammer concept has been around for ages, but the design and materials used for the Slammer has been a 23-year evolution of countless prototypes to make it as sturdy and robust as possible.It gives the user the mechanical advantage of a lot of force to a small area, focusing the energy to where you want it, over and over again. People used to carry a crowbar (digging bar), mattock/grubber, axe and spade in their work truck. When dealing with hard ground, roots, rocks, concrete and well-compacted soil types (clay, sedimentary, conglomerates) these tools are standard. Once they start using the Slammer people find not only does it take less time to complete a task, it uses a completely different set of muscles that does not hurt their back.The key to this is to grip the bar with your hands, but use your legs to get your body to move the bar up and down, rather than your arms. The other big feature is once the tool is driven into an ugly patch, to get it out can be a lot of work. This is why the head of the tool looks the way it does - you rock the tool from side to side to “walk it out”. If you work smart, you can work more productively.
