Original Note:
A sledgehammer with a flexible handle is designed to absorb some of the shock and vibration that occurs when striking an object. This can help reduce the impact on the user's hands, arms, and shoulders, making it less fatiguing to use for extended periods of time. https://www.quora.com/Why-would-a-sledgehammer-have-a-flexible-handle-I-ve-seen-a-lot-of-videos-online-of-people-swinging-flexible-sledgehammers-lately-and-I-feel-like-it-would-just-be-harder-to-use-than-a-rigid-one#:~:text=Because%2520a%2520flexible%2520handle%2520sledge,force%2520impacting%2520the%2520struck%2520object.&text=%C2%B7%25201y-,Why%2520are%2520Chinese%2520sledge%2520hammers%2520flexible%253F,an%2520improvement%2520over%2520stiff%2520ones.
