Nesting Hammer Heads

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hammer BA is a Modular Mallet with Compound Ends for Tackling Different Tasks

— May 1, 2014 — Art & Design
The Hammer BA would do away with the handyman's need for a full set of mallets. Those who have worked with the tool before, at least a handful of times, will recognize that different sorts of heads are required for different undertakings.

Designer Snežana Jeremić has come up with a toolbox must-have that essentially serves as three implements in one. It could help the carpenter, builder or dismantler to accomplish everything from driving nails to breaking unwanted structures. The object is centered around a thick, graspable handle and a solid core head of 1kg. Should the user wish to bulk up the Hammer BA, he can jacket the end with one or two metal casings that weigh 0.5kg each. With all three nested together, the BA offers 2 kilograms of firm hitting surfaces for every job you've got.
Trend Themes
1. Modular Tools - There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for manufacturers to explore the creation of modular tools that can perform multiple tasks, reducing the need for a full set of tools.
2. Adaptable Equipment - Designers can capitalize on the trend of adaptable equipment, wherein one piece of equipment can be adjusted or expanded to perform multiple functions.
3. Sustainable Tools - There is an opportunity for environmentally-conscious manufacturers to create tools that are designed to last or can perform multiple functions, reducing the need for frequent tool replacements.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - The construction industry can benefit from modular tools and adaptable equipment that are designed to be versatile and efficient for a range of different tasks.
2. Carpentry - Carpenters can benefit from sustainable, high-quality tools that can be used for multiple tasks, reducing the need to constantly purchase new equipment.
3. Diy/home Improvement - The DIY/home improvement industry can benefit from tools that are designed to be versatile and efficient, making it easier for consumers to complete a range of different projects with just one tool.
