The Slammer is a multi-tool combining

a sledgehammer impacting on a digging

bar and an axe head.

It uses the downward force of the

inner bar to slam the cutting blade

through tough ground, soil, roots,

wood and concrete.

WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS.

A NOTE FROM INVENTOR, TJ IRVIN

“Congratulations on purchasing a Slammer tool.

I didn't initially make the Slammer to sell commercially. I just wanted a simple,

indestructible, multi-use tool for myself for tough, labour-intensive jobs.

I used to use a crowbar (digging bar), mattock/grubber, axe and spade when

dealing with hard ground, roots, rocks, concrete and well-compacted soil types

(clay, sedimentary, conglomerates). However, once I started using the Slammer

I found not only did it take less time to complete a task, it used a completely

dierent set of muscles that did not hurt my back. The key to this was to grip the

bar with my hands but use my legs to get my body to move the bar up and down,

rather than my arms. The other big feature was the blade design. Once the tool

was driven into an ugly patch, to get it out was a lot of work. But by rocking the

5-sided blade from side-to-side it “walks its way out”.

Clients, co-workers and friends saw my Slammer and asked if I could make

one for them. Then things just escalated through word of mouth and the

Slammer Ltd was born.

The slide-hammer concept has been around for a long time but the design

and materials used for the Slammer has been a 23-year evolution of countless

prototypes to make it as sturdy and robust as the one you see today.

I ﬁled a PCT patent 583181 in 2008 and took the Slammer to agricultural,

horticultural and trade shows where it has been well-received by a very diverse

range of customers.

This manual aims to provide you with a few tips and uses that I have learned

along my Slammer journey. Other techniques have been shown to me by

customers who have provided comments and feedback. Please get in touch to

let us know what you think of the Slammer and what you use it for.

HAPPY SLAMMIN'!

OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS

Use ear protection

The Slammer produces a loud

repetitive noise.

Use eye protection

Objects may become airborne

when using The Slammer.

Wear protective footwear

and gloves

Be aware of objects

and cables underground

Always know before you start digging.

Inner Bar (male)

Upper section

Anti-Pinch

Rubber Sleeve

Use your back

Engage leg and core muscles to lift the

inner bar/upper section as opposed to just

your upper body strength. Use gravity and

the natural weight of the Slammer to slam

it down, then rock the tool from side to

side to dislodge and walk the Slammer out,

without straining your back.

TIP: When walking with The Slammer, hold it in 2 separate

pieces - one in each hand.

Blade pipe (female)

Lower section

To assemble, carefully insert the upper

section/inner bar into the anti pinch

rubber sleeve and lower section/blade

pipe. Take care not to trap hands or

ﬁngers.

Safety warnings and hazards

Sharp! Heavy! Use with great caution

and care.

Always use the Slammer with respect and

care to others.

Severe pinch risk:

The Slammer is a

2 part tool. Take

care not to trap

anything between

the 2 parts.

Wear gloves and

grip the upper

section by the

handle only.

Use your leg or

core muscles to

raise and lower

the slide bar, as

opposed to just

your upper body

strength.

DON’T

Always know where you are digging.

Be mindful of underground cables,

pipes and other objects.

Use the Slammer like you would a crow bar to

break up the soil. The blade is for cutting and

chopping, not shoveling, so you will need a

separate spade to remove the broken soil.

A helpful hint is to mark dierent depths

on the female/bladepipe part of the tool to

know when you are deep enough or where to

expect service lines (sewer, power, phone.)

If digging in sod, cut around the area you are

digging, chop in two, then cut under to get

perfect bits of sod using just the female/blade

pipe/lower part of the Slammer (which can be

used without the inner bar.)

When digging fence posts use the Slammer

to break up soil then lift soil out with tool of

The only time in life you

start out on top is when

you are digging a hole.

DIGGING AND FENCING

“”

TIP: When digging, deep slam from

your knees and try not to use your back.

choice eg. hand auger, post hole digger, post

hole spade. (you can use the female/blade

pipe/lower part of the Slammer but slow.)

When the blade is deeply lodged in the

ground, rock tool from side-to-side

to dislodge.

Tamp at the bottom of the hole with the

male/inner bar/upper section by itself, upside

down, handle to the bottom of the hole. Add

the rammer and foot attachment to Slammer

tool to pack soil even tighter.

(See website www.theslammertool.com

for further details about rammer and foot

attachments.)

Slammer blade with rammer

accessory attached.

The bigger the hole the faster

the tree/plant will grow. Use

the Slammer to aerate the soil

deep and wide.

Remove all existing plants,

roots and rocks and loosen the

soil. It’s not necessary to lift all

the dirt out of the hole.

Mix in compost, fertilizer, blood

and bone.

Once planted, pack well and

stake if necessary. Add water to

ﬁll in gaps.

PLANTING TREES AND PLANTS

Make sure the blade on the Slammer is sharp.

Use the Slammer to cut around the root ball.

Find main roots and slam through. Continue

to slam on an angle to form root ball.

Lift out rootball then place into fabric, pot,

tarp or whatever will keep the root ball from

breaking up.

TRANSPLANTING

Tie or cut back plant to gain access to main base of plant.

Cut into root base the rock blade from side to side to walk out.

Pry roots apart. Cut root ball around desired cutting and keep

root ball together. Try to keep damp and replant as soon as

possible. This cutting may need sone pruning above soil to

minimize shock. In dense bamboo roots you may have to cut

multiple times when prying out.

With extended bamboo work it is advisable to use two people

with a slammer each to work and lift together.

CUTTINGS OF FLAX, BAMBOO

OR LARGE GRASSES

TIP: Tie a ribbon/string to

indicate north, then when

replanting make sure this

indicator is pointing north so

the plant has the same aspect.

With the Slammer's sharp

5-sided blade locate main roots

and obstacles. Do this with the

female/bladepipe/lower section

of the tool ﬁrst.

Chop surface roots. If roots are

too large, work further from the

stump where the root narrows.

Cut underneath root and saw,

chop or slam completely. Work

back to main stump using the

Slammer to loosen soil under

roots. Try to dig a hollow on

one side so you can pry the

main ball over.

REMOVING STUMPS, WOODY WEEDS

AND BAMBOO

Continue to cut and pry until the stump moves.

Once stump is moving, remove material and cut taproot

at bottom, then pry out of hole. Some stumps will

require a large solid pry bar to do so. If the Slammer

tool is bending, the stump is too heavy or there are still

roots connected. There is a limit to the strength of the

Slammer blade pipe. Be aware of it's limitations and if it

does bend it needs to be straightened (see maintenance

instructions on page 22.)

BREAKING UP CONCRETE AND ROCK

Both the 9kg ad 6kg Slammer blades and the

chisel point Slammer tool are very ecient at

breaking up concrete.

Once cracked, follow the crack and break up

into bits that you can carry. Works extremely

well on asphalt to square up potholes for

road repairs.

The Slammer is very good working in

conjunction with a concrete cutter to remove

concrete accurately. Ideal for plumbing,

drainage, electric cable repair and digging

with precision around dangerous areas where

powered equipment cannot access.

The Rammer attachment with foot is great

for tamping/compressing areas in corners

and tight spaces where you cannot get a

vibrator/compressor.

The male/inner bar/upper part of the 9kg

slammer tool also ﬁts the chisel point

blade pipe.

Nothing is forever

TIP: Slammer tools are very useful

in emergency ﬁrst response and

search and rescue situations such as

earthquakes and rock falls.

As the Slammer blade is narrow it works best on hard

wood. It can get jammed on soft wood.

Choose straight grain pieces for splitting and kindling.

Save the knotty bits for the wood splitter or as long-

burning, all night logs.

Instead of putting wood on a block, put wood on a hard

surface with a piece of plywood underneath, then step

up so that the Slammer blade is level with your feet.

SPLITTING FIREWOOD

Ye who works to

get the wood gets

warm twice.

“”

Split from the outside using the blade with the grain for

large rounds and in half for small rounds.

The Slammer can be used to gain leverage when sawing

logs so that rounds fall away from logs. It is also helpful

for turning big logs over and un-jamming stuck saw-

blades.

TIP: Get an old tyre, put around wood so as the wood splits, it stays standing to

be split again.

REMOVING TILES, ADHESIVES, ICE

AND HARDTOREMOVE SURFACE

COATINGS.

Taking up/removing tiles,

lynoleum, adhesive, ice

and other types of surface

coatings can be a tough job.

The Slammer tool blade does a

great job of getting underneath

tiles and breaking them up.

However, the tile and ice

blade is even better with it's

45 degree straight edge blade

and larger surface area. It

works to remove ﬂoor coatings

without damaging the concrete

underneath. The blade is made

from abrasion resistant steel

and keeps a good edge for

hard adhesive.

The male/inner bar/upper part

of the 9kg slammer tool also

ﬁts the tile and ice blade pipe.

TIP:Works well for ice, dried mud,

euent, linoneum and other hard to

remove surface coatings.
