Sledgehammer drills indoors

[_Endure_]

Love sledgehammer drills but have gotten away from it since my only source for a big tire to swing away on Is no more. Has anyone successfully made a good backstop indoors? Can’t bring a giant tire in obviously but was thinking about a super hard large piece of rubber or maybe a super stout sandbag (would fear it would eventually bust all over).

is this indoors like in a garage or indoors like in a living room?

Either/or potentially.

a sandbag might work if you duct tape the hell out of it and maybe only filled it like 1/2 or 3/4 of the way

Could you mimic sledgehammer chops with a dumbbell but without hitting something?

no, the point is to keep velocity and drive all the way through the movement. Trying to stop a dumbbell in mid swing would be a recipe for injury.

You could get a big tire and cut it up, take 1/3 of the tire and wrap it around a sand bag or make some sort of a holder for it, I seen/used it before somewhere. It’s a lot of work but if sledgehammer drills is life it’ll be worth it.
