Double Fisted Sledgehammer: Heavy-Duty Tool, Not A Lesbian Technique

Double Fisted Sledgehammer: Heavy-Duty Tool, Not A Lesbian Technique

Left fist, cemetery.  Right fist, cemetery too.  No concessions on this one, as both ends of the Double Fisted Sledgehammer should deliver the same head-busting wallop.
Like any regular sledgehammer, the craftily-shaped swing-and-destroy equipment should punch a dent on any surface that you put it to.  Need to crush a pile of rocks?  No problem.  Forge iron?  You got it.  Break your ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend’s windshield?  Smash it and run.
Sure, it sounds like a special technique from some  niche movie market but don’t let the name fool you.  The Double Fisting Sledgehammer is a large, heavy-duty hammer with both ends of the head replaced with closed fists.  Not that fists are necessarily better for destroying hard stuff, but it sure looks better than your garden variety hard labor tool.
A part of Design Martus’ portfolio of gorgeous metalwork based around hands and fists, it uses a 13 x 3.5 inch slab [...]

Cole-Bar Hammer Works As Hammer, Crowbar, Demolition Tool And More

Cole-Bar Hammer Works As Hammer, Crowbar, Demolition Tool And More

You had me at “demolition tool.”  Anything that’s meant to demolish is always fine by me.  More so if it brings six other functions to the table.
The Cole-Bar Hammer is a new multi-purpose tool that claims to be able to perform seven different capabilities.  It features a two-piece design, with a ratchet that locks at any angle from 0 to 180 degrees, facilitating a good range of uses.
According to the product page, the versatile construction tool can be used as a hammer, a crowbar, a square, a socket wrench, a cat’s paw, an angled ruler and a demolition tool (damn, no beer bottle opener).  It’s basically a hammer that can be split vertically, making way for the multitude of other talents.  Because of the changeable functions, it lets you take to your DIY tasks with a tad fewer implements in your toolbox.
Named to honor Cole Norman Hyde, the inventor’s late [...]

Lay Down The Internet Law With A Real Banhammer

Lay Down The Internet Law With A Real Banhammer

Cops have badges.  Judges wear robes.  Magicians have wands.  Now, even forum moderators can be easily identified with their official equipment by patrolling their favorite websites while cocking a real-life Banhammer.  Kablam! You’re banned!
Styled like a regular sledge hammer with the word BAN carved out of the face (in reverse), the Banhammer should make abusing internet users more fun.  This thread breaks the TOS in so many places.  Kablam!  I’m putting an end to your senseless flamewars.  Kaboom!  No access for a week.  Haaaarggggh!
Artist Christopher Thompson came up with the creation, laser-building two matching  halves of the head using a 3D printer.  He welded both parts together, attaching the resulting slab to a wooden handle, so you can swing it around like you’re the Mighty Thor of the online domain.  Who would have thought that overseeing a Hello Kitty discussion forum can look so macho?
He posted the Banhammer’s design, along [...]
