Toffee_hammer Knowpia

A toffee hammer is a very small hammer designed for breaking up sheets or slabs of hard toffee, such as bonfire toffee, into small pieces suitable for consumption. A toffee hammer is sometimes included as a novelty item in gift packs produced by toffee manufacturers.^[1]^[2]

Toffee hammers were used by suffragettes, in particular members of the Women's Social and Political Union, for breaking windows as a form of protest during their campaign for votes for women.^[3]

The term "toffee hammer" may also be used to refer to any unusually small hammer, for example in orthopedic surgery,^[4] or to a scaffolder's tool that resembles a toffee hammer.^[5]
