Contrary to what you might have seen on any number of HGTV shows, demolition does not involve the constant use of sledgehammers. Maybe if you're wrecking an entire house, and don't care what collateral damage you cause.....maybe then. Mostly though, you'll end up breaking stuff you don't want to break. If you're a homeowner, maybe that's not as big a deal. As a contractor though, I get to pay for things I unintentionally break. So, sledgehammers.....not really happenin' for me!
Things like pry bars, levers and even a smaller hammer are much more surgical tools. They can be focused.
Now, they won't give you that beating your chest, gorilla sense of satisfaction, that's true. They will keep money in your pocket though, and, for me at least, that's good enough.
Happy demo'ing!
