Which item is NOT listed as a stabilization tool?

• A. Jacks
• B. Wheel chocks
• C. Cribbing
• D. Sledgehammer

Answer: (D)

Stabilization relies on devices that securely hold objects in place and distribute load to prevent movement. Jacks lift and support a vehicle or structure at a chosen height, wheel chocks block wheels to stop rolling, and cribbing uses stacked blocks to create solid, adjustable support that resists tipping. A sledgehammer, however, is used to deliver impact to break or move objects, not to provide support or prevent movement. Using it for stabilization could cause shifting or collapse, increasing danger. Therefore, the item that is not a stabilization tool is the sledgehammer.
