Have You Ever Used A “Girl” Hammer?

Have you ever been in a predicament where you needed a hammer but there was no hammer nearby or to be found?

Well, there is a new trend on TikTok of women using random household objects to drive nails into walls to hang up pictures or mirrors. Lack of tools, especially hammers, has led people to use random everyday items they have lying around, such as shoes, brushes, and books. Pretty much anything you can find that can withstand smashing a nail.

These alternatives to a hammer are being dubbed #girlhammers. Below is a woman who started the trend on TikTok showing off her girl hammers.
