Tools shaped like the part of the body they exaggerate the
functionality of. So a hammer shaped like an elbow to fist,
but
with exaggerated proportions, so the body of the hammer
is just
subtly shaped like a fist and arm. Wrench-hand.
Screwdriver-hand
with key. Shoulder-bow and arm-fist-arrow.
The ultimate hammer

Template design for human-shaped things

scroll down to the last picture on the page. You could fit any object inside these curves and assign core functionality/points-of-interest to the centers of the swirls. The picture represents the top of a sphere based on the shape of a person [JesusHChrist, Oct 14 2011]

Would this be for more for aesthetics or more for function?
Because, as a
regular user of _all_ the tools you mentioned, I can tell
you
that, from a functionality standpoint, they're shaped the
way they are for a reason: it's the
shape that works best. |
|
| |
Afterthought: just plain no on the arm/fist arrow. I don't
know how you envision that working, but it wouldn't work
that way. It probably wouldn't work at all. It would
probably result in a lot of archery enthusiasts and
bowhunters punching themselves in the face. |

Baked by the first humans who used the anatomy of other
humans they killed to kill other humans in a manner they
would have used that same anatomy if it were their own. |
|
| |
And steadily improved-upon since. |

A hammer shaped like a forearm and hand would sort
of make sense if it somehow "replaced" your own
forearm and hand. But it doesn't - it's an extension
of your forearm and hand, not a replacement. |

"dumbth": the sound of an un-aerodynamic foot-shaped projectile striking an arse-shaped target, not necessarily on the first attempt. |

|

Oh, but it does. We call it "Plug And Play". |

As efficient as the M240B machine gun is, I feel somewhat cheated now, as if I've missed out on a vital phase in development, upon reading [rcarty]'s annotation. |

Nobodys stopping you from sifting through the muck of
your targets and picking up one of the few intact limbs and
using it to beat to death your next source of useful limbs
and so forth. |

I bunned it to take away the bone. It's a cute, artsy idea, whether or not the tools would work.
A hand ladle would work! Or like drinking water with a cupped hand. (hand-cup) |

Would computers all be shaped like a big brain? |
|
| |
bun for having an anno with the word dumbth. |

Can-openers shaped like front teeth |
|
| |
Water filterers shaped like kidneys |
|
| |
Electric Fans and vacuum cleaners shaped like noses |
|
| |
Of course, camera lenses shaped like big eyes with eyelids, eyelashes, etc. |
