The nail and hammer go together like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, and nausea and catching your parents doing Kama Sutra research.
Anyway, from naughty nail art (I already made one sex joke, leave it alone) to handy hammers (seriously, stop it), check out all of the nail and hammer innovations we have to offer.
Implications - The hammer is one of the most iconic and familiar tools ever made, so it's no shock to see creative minds finding new ways to put this familiar tool to use. Just in the same way that humanity showed incredible ingenuity as a species in creating tools, artists continue to demonstrate that same spark of creativity by constantly reinventing old tools for new purposes. Businesses looking to show off their creative chops should be sure to do the same whenever possible.
