Everywhere that I've worked they have also been called flogging spanners.

If the offshore world ( Aberdeen and the likes) these would be flogging spanners
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I used to use these flogging spanners on a daily basis until the health and safety brigade saw them. They've been banned by the H&S for
almost everything they were intended for!!

Hi
We use them a lot offshore as mentioned above. They are supposed to be used when tightening with a machined recess, usually with a gasket between
(valve flanges etc) the idea being you hit it until the note changes to a 'ring'. This tells you that both flanges are metal to metal and
the machined recess is compressing the spiral wound gasket correctly. Torque bars or torque multipliers are the more acceptable method but using a big
hammer with these is much more fun!!

We use them at our ship repair yard. I needed the proper word in order to write my report in English.

I've not seen one of those for a long time. They were flogging spanners here as well. Is it still Christmas there Marten? I never heard them
called slogging spanners. There's a link to some here.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

We used to use them to tighten the top nut on 36" (Yes-3 foot) pumps when I was an apprentice. It was the apprentices job. Stood there swinging
with a large sledge hammer untill the Fitter said "Okay". Then "You can undo it now,Don't be such a cheeky (^%*** in the
future." Couldn't lift your arms above the shoulder after doing them.
Happy days.
..Which was nice..

you can also stick a bit of tube over the end of it and just use it like a giant spanner (obviously it needs to be a fairly strong / close fitting
tube)
the last time I saw them using a bar ~1.5m long
I'd never seen untill a year ago when I had to start designing structures that needed M42 bolts to hold them to the ground 
and aparently it hard to get 65mm spaners.....

When you get bolts that big i tends to be hydraulic bolt stretchers that are the weapon l of choice.

I think they were just going get a big 1" drive socket / torque wrench - they are only 8.8's not HSFG's so they don't need to
be that tight and we use locknuts just to be sure they don't work loose (well you wouldn't want 50tonnes of steel landing on your head 
)
but the standard just says "tightened with appropriate spaners" and give no other guidance
