Toffee hammer 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, or to a scaffolder's tool that resembles a toffee hammer.[4] References
