Hammer blows are strikes delivered with a hammer or with hammer-like force.
The phrase typically emphasizes repetition and impact—a boxer lands hammer blows, or bad news comes in hammer blows.
The image suggests relentless, punishing force: The investigation delivered hammer blow after hammer blow to the administration.
