Martillo pilón


Explanation:


Ej:

Si no se está usando el embrague de pie del martillo pilón, hay que asegurarlo calzándolo con una maza de madera.
Ajustar el martillo pilón sólo cuando se haya asegurado con un dispositivo de seguridad contra descensos involuntarios de la maza.

En google te aparecen muchas referencias.
También lo he encontrado en el diccionario técnico Díaz de Santos:
- Block hammer = martillo pilón
