Meaning
A claw hammer. It stands for building, DIY and repair, and it appears in construction and home-improvement contexts. Figuratively it carries the law of the instrument: if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail — a warning about applying one solution to every problem that is quoted far more often than it is heeded.
