sledges
Heavy pounding tools
Sledges is the plural of sledge—a heavy sled used for transporting loads over snow or ice, typically pulled by dogs or horses.
In British English, sledge also means what Americans call a sled for recreational sliding.
A sledgehammer is sometimes shortened to sledge: He grabbed the sledges from the truck.
To sledge is to ride a sledge or, in cricket slang, to verbally taunt opponents.
