Hammers and tools are plastic costume accessories that look like real work tools, from a wrench and nippers to a chainsaw and pitchfork. With a heavy hammer with a wood grain or a red-brown sledgehammer in your hand, you complete a Bob the Builder costume, while saws and wrenches with blood splatters create a horror handyman for Halloween. Almost everything is intended for women and men, and a few bloody pieces, such as the chainsaw with a moving blade, are also suitable for boys and girls.
Work tools for the construction site, the spooky evening and the party prank
- For a construction worker or plumber for Carnival, you can choose from a silver-grey hand saw with coarse teeth, black nippers, a red-orange pipe wrench and a red-brown sledgehammer with a hanging eye, so you can hang it on a loop.
- During Halloween, it is all about plastic tools with red splatters, such as chainsaws, a drill with a red-stained drill bit and a pitchfork with bloody tines.
- Headbands with a hammer or sledgehammer that appears to pierce through your head complete a horror look without you having to hold anything.
- For a party prank, there are sound-making hammers in metallic silver and gold with Happy Party on the handle, and an inflatable hammer with colored stars on a green handle.
- If you are playing a courtroom scene, you can choose a short dark brown or burgundy gavel.
Inflatable, plastic or with light and sound: what suits your act?
Hammers and tools differ mainly in size and in what they can do. In a parade or on a group photo, a long piece stands out the most, and the range goes from a 26 cm gavel to a 150 cm pitchfork that you screw together in five parts. Most pieces are made of plastic such as PVC, polyethylene or ABS, and the large hammer is inflatable. The metallic hammers make a sound with every tap, and some chainsaws, the drill and the hedge trimmer hum or move when you turn them on. Note that the hedge trimmer requires three AA batteries that are not included, and expect that almost everything is sold separately, without a helmet or costume.
Add a construction helmet for the complete construction worker
A hammer or saw in your hand says handyman, but only with a construction helmet on your head does everyone recognize the construction worker. For a spooky version, you put on a headband with a sledgehammer through the head and take a bloody saw in your hand, so that head and hands match. A plumber becomes recognizable with a pipe wrench and sledgehammer together, one on a loop and the other in your hand.
Hammers and tools in the parade or at a spooky party
Hammers and tools go along with Carnival, as construction workers and plumbers march through the street in groups, and during Halloween, where the bloody saws and wrenches belong. Women and men wear the same piece, so as a group you can easily give everyone a different tool. The metallic hammers with sound can also be used as a gag gift at any party.
Ordering hammers and tools for your costume
The character determines what you need: a construction worker requires a hammer, saw or pliers, a horror figure requires blood splatters and sound. If you put together several pieces for a whole group, shipping is free from 75 euros.
