They are lifeless. They have no purpose. They have no destiny to be what they really want to be. I guess they could be something else if they tried...paperweights, perhaps?
Here's a hammer with it's handle so loose it's ready to fall out- has built a lot of stuff. Here's one with a broken claw- he pryed too hard, but his handle is still good so it can still be used to some extent. Here a couple without handles- broken off inside the head.
They wait and await. Along comes a brand new shiny hammer with an unscarred handle. The others will have to wait longer. They know the fate of the new hammer. One bad swing and it's in with the rest.
Hammerheads. At least they're not broken handles. Those get tossed out.
