Bananas are known for many things but strength and durability aren't among them, so using one as a hammer sounds like a recipe for disaster – or a joke. And this is probably how the idea started but the result, the Banana Hammer by Castem, a Hiroshima company specializing in precision casting, is nothing short of amazing and will enhance your toolbox – or your living room, since it also functions as a great ornament.
Using the same technology used for creating parts for thousands of machines all over the world, Castem took a real banana from the Philippines, 3D-scanned it and then created a 100% precision mold for the bronze Banana Hammer. Measuring approximately 20 cm (7.9") and weighing 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), this is a very handy and functional hammer in a natural bronze gold-matte finish that you can use just like a regular hammer – to the astonishment of everyone around you!
