Post Maul
Post mauls are similar to sledgehammers in shape, but are meant to drive wooden fence posts into the earth. They have broad, flat circular faces that are significantly larger in diameter than the body of the head (where the handle attaches). Sledgehammers usually have octagonal faces that are the same diameter or slightly smaller than the body of the head.
