Because dream it, and, with enough funding, you can achieve it, the gang at the Hacksmith channel on YouTube went and constructed a massive 2-ton version of Thor’s Hammer, Mjolnir. Admittedly, that is probably the largest Thor’s hammer I have ever seen.

If you’re looking for a super-bright and well built flashlight that’s up to about any task, look no further. Measuring in at just 5.4″ long, the Fenix PD36R may be small, but it is also mighty.

How many times have you been hammering a nail into a piece of wood, only to miss and smack your finger? The pain from this action is the worst. It’s right up there with stepping on LEGO pieces.

Changing your car’s tires is a lengthier process than it should be. You need several tools with you, and many people may not have them all handy. That’s why the AutoAuto car tool looks like a more efficient way of doing things. 

We haven’t heard anything about AIST Japan’s HRP humanoid robot line for a while. The new version, the very industrial-looking HRP-5P has some cool skills. It looks a lot like Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS, which sports a similar framework body.

I love any tool that makes projects around the house easier. I mean, having a robot to do all of my projects would be best, but that isn’t happening anytime soon. Besides, you can’t trust a robot with a hammer.

Back in the day, there were a couple of summers I worked construction with a family friend. What I remember about those summers was miserable Texas heat and how many of the guys on the crew drank piping hot coffee even when it was literally 110-degrees outside.

If you’re looking for a single tool to keep in your bugout bag, the Off Grid Survival Axe is an excellent choice. It combines a number of useful tools for both the real world and whatever post-apocalyptic world you can image, be it zombies, robots, or even killer cars.

Say the world has gone to crap. There are zombies everywhere, and it’s a Mad Max style world of kill or be killed. You have a monkey wrench in the garage, but what you really need is a cool knife.

This R2-D2 tape measure belongs in every X-Wing pilot’s tool kit. This versatile astromech droid is now an adorable tape measure. I’m not sure what units they use in a galaxy far, far away, but this tape measure uses inches and centimeters.

Most of us use a tape measure or ruler to measure things. It’s been that way for over a hundred years. Well, now a company called InstruMMents have unveiled a new dimensioning device that can replace the antiquated tape.

Most multi-tools that have pliers that are on the larger side, or they don’t have them at all. However, if you’re looking for a more compact option while still getting a functional tool, you may just love the GRIPsher.

The Throttle Opener may sound like a part that belongs on a carburetor, but in this case, it is actually a cool new magnetic, one-handed bottle opener. At last we can open bottles with one hand!

Yep, this axe has a handle filled with gummy bears. Why? Why not? It was made by Peter Brown of YouTube channel Shop Time. The dude clearly likes gummy bears. He first made a mold for the axe handle, then filled it full of gummy bears and resin.

Swinging an axe is the conventional way to chop firewood, but as with any sharp tool, it can be pretty dangerous. If you have firewood to chop, and don’t like the idea of swinging a sharp axe, there is another solution.

This unique hand tool wants to make your toolbox into its natural habitat. This hammer is designed to look like a rhinoceros, but it’s not just for show – it’s a functional hammer for driving nails that looks like a beast.
