Issues
Vibration created upon impact
Weak grip
Hammer head frequently falls off
Solutions
Wood handle for less vibration and a lighter weight
Groves in the handle for a better grip
An easier replacement of the handle, an eye, and wedge accessible at the top of the hammerhead
A hole into the top of the hammer face and bell, and a slot directly behind them for nails
Reflection
Future Steps
I would love the opportunity to explore the following areas:
Retractable designs
More unique shapes
Compactible designs
