Given the task of redesigning a hand-held tool, I set out attempting to reapply the look of a claw hammer. My final design incorporates the aesthetics of an ice hammer whilst using the curvature of a pick axe to alter the hammer head form from a circular base, to a rectangular face and head.

The design also improves practicality whilst hammering, due to the shield-shaped magnetic strip which is built into the front face of the handle. Additional gripping surfaces can also be found on the redesigned cylindrical handle - which is covered by an ergonomic TPE sleeve.
