A Wrench That Might Come in Handy

In a new take on the hand wrench, designer Paul Julius Martus developed this cool (and maybe a little bit creepy) cast bronze sculpture a couple years ago. It was picked up by places such as Boing Boing, Geekologie, and Core 77.

The sculpture reminded me of our hand and wrench logo, which is based off the “raised fist” symbol of resistance and unity. For us, the logo means solidarity, empowerment, and dedication to repair.

If your hand looks like the sculpture above, however, you might be taking dedication to repair a little bit too far. Your skin isn’t actually supposed to grow into your wrench (you should be putting it down to eat and sleep and stuff).
