Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
Spanish term or phrase: llave de golpeo
From a series of sheets explaining how to carry out maintenance tasks and any health and safety issues. Thi from the "Cambio del filtro de la multiplicadora / Changing the gearbox filter" sheet

Una vez realizada la purga se procede a aflojar la carcasa del filtro mediante la utilización de una llave de golpeo y una maceta para, una vez aflojada, terminar de desenroscarla manualmente, tras lo cual se sustituye el filtro y se vuelve a colocar la carcasa


I thought maybe the literal "hammer key" but I tend to get too many musical refs when goooooooogling

Explanation:
The "impact wrench" is a (mostly air-driven) power tool:

An impact wrench (also known as an air wrench, air gun, rattle gun, torque gun) is a socket wrench power tool designed to deliver high torque output with minimal exertion by the user, by storing energy in a rotating mass, then delivering it suddenly to the output shaft.

Compressed air is the most common power source, although electric or hydraulic power is also used, with cordless electric devices becoming increasingly popular in recent times.[1]

From your context (a sledgehammer is being used), I think this is what you're looking for:
