These are excellent sledges. One key advantage of a dead-blow sledge is the lack of rebound, which makes them far more controllable when used with authority.
The short-handled version is particularly useful for controlled striking (especially overhead) using a two-handed grip and a shorter swing arc.
The 5 1/2 lb sledge has a 2 3/4" face diameter, a 7" long head, and an overall length of 20", where the full-size 9 lb sledge has an overall length of 30".

A dead-blow sledge like this one delivers a forceful strike without rebound, which makes it easier to control anywhere you need repeated, authoritative blows.
The 5 1/2 lb sledge has a 2 3/4" face, a 7" head and a 20" overall length suited to two-handed overhead work, while the full-size 9 lb sledge runs 30" overall for maximum striking force.
The head holds an internal weighted filling that shifts on impact, absorbing the rebound so the hammer doesn't bounce back the way a solid steel head would.
