A sledgehammer is a large hammer. One acts as the primary weapon of Madison Clark.
Pre-Apocalypse
Sledgehammers are often used as a tool, particularly in construction.
Fear the Walking Dead
Mo brings Madison a sledgehammer in the hopes that Madison will teach her how to use it. After realizing Mo's true identity, Madison uses the sledgehammer to take down two PADRE guards and escape and she continues using it while fleeing from PADRE with Mo and Morgan. When Morgan and Mo are trapped in a swamp full of walkers, a weakened Madison bangs her sledgehammer on the side of Morgan's Houseboat to draw the herd towards herself, planning to sacrifice herself to save Morgan and Mo. However, Grace arrives in a boat and rescues the three and Shrike and her forces confiscate the sledgehammer after recapturing Madison.
After escaping again and capturing Shrike, Madison takes a new sledgehammer from a bucket full of tools on the PADRE docks. Madison uses it to smash the glass window hiding Padre, revealing his true identity as Ben Krennick, and continues to use the sledgehammer to fight walkers, putting down a zombified Krennick at one point with it and retrieving the coordinates needed for PADRE's Expansion.
Madison subsequently continues to use her sledgehammer against walkers, trying to kill Troy with it at one point after discovering that he was cutting off the arms of walkers to make her think that they were Alicia. However, Troy manages to block the blow with his blade and Strand eventually drags Madison away. After leaving PADRE, Madison begins luring in herds of walkers with music and taking them out with her sledgehammer in an attempt to find her missing supposedly zombified daughter. During the Fall of PADRE, Madison uses her sledgehammer to smash the tops off of the oxygen tanks in the basement cell area in order to set up a massive explosion to destroy the herd and the fort. The sledgehammer remains in Madison's possession after her rescue by Tracy and reunion with a still alive Alicia.
