hammerer
One who pounds
A hammerer is someone who hammers—striking repeatedly with a hammer or similar tool.
The term extends to anyone who pounds away at something with persistent force or effort: The hammerer on the construction site started at dawn.
Figuratively, a hammerer attacks a subject or opponent relentlessly: a hammerer of conservative economic policy.
