New fad: tools that look like body parts

Paul Julius Martus's specially designed hand wrench picks up where the back scratcher, the toy robot arm, and this affront to decency left off. The hand wrench is pretty spiffy, though. The idea of anatomically literal tools is a neat one from an aesthetic standpoint; I’d love to see a socket wrench that looked like a glenohumeral joint, or an orbital saw that resembled an eye socket. We can leave the butt joint alone, though.
