Hammer
 
http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._7522896_n.jpg

Description: The hammer I own is a typical wooden handle kinda hammer. Not this review isn't about the typical uses of said tool, it's about combining it with other objects in order to get out of unbolting something or getting a second person to help. As pictured above, in combination with a scissor jack you can push down on the rear suspension of a 7th gen civic in order to fit the shock without unbolting the LCA. No, this does no damage to the car, but will do damage to your face if you don't respect it.

In combination with a short piece of 2x4 you can use it to push down on the brake pedal and test your brake bulbs.

Pros: There are no limits to useful uses of it.

Cons: If you drop it on your foot while wearing slippers it will hurt. If you are careless it can hit you in the face with quite a bit of force.

And you also included the requisite safety tip, though I'm not sure your suggested use of a wooden-handle hammer will get OSHA approval.
