About this listen
* THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER * THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *
‘An imperative how-to for creativity…I adore this book’ Nick Offerman
Adam Savage – star of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters and one of the most beloved figures in science and tech – shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea a reality.
Every Tool’s a Hammer is Adam Savage’s chronicle of his life as a maker. Through stories from forty-plus years of making and moulding, building and breaking, this book is a toolbox of problem solving, complete with a shop’s worth of notes on the tools, techniques and materials he uses most often.
This book will save you a few mistakes (and maybe fingers), as well as help turn your curiosities into creations. You will find everything you need to inspire you to build, make, invent, explore and – most of all – enjoy the thrills of being a creator.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Inspiring
I've followed Adam Savage for many years and followed his advice and ideology in my own tiny workshop. This book is almost a bible of how to set up, run and utilise ideas and thought processes in your own creative way. It will certainly change, not only how I work on my own projects, but how I approach my own daily life too.

Fantastic!
It's a biography and so much more!
You can take it as just a biography or you can become consumed by it, then it becomes an insight to a new world of working and thinking or an instructional self-help book to become more productive.
The way Adam reads it just gives it a whole new dimension and personally I think reading it in your own head just wouldn't do it justice.

Informative and heartwarming
Been a fan of Adam since Mythbusters and I watch all of his Tested videos on YouTube and decided to listen to this too. I’m so happy that I have. The best way I can describe this one is like having a amazing uncle who has lived a awesome life give you a few pointers on what ways you could do things and what directions in life you could take but doesn’t come across as condescending.
Thank you Adam Savage for this gift.

Resonating on so many levels.
Probably because I am about the same age as Adam Savage, I found that I truly connected with this book, both as maker and personality, through the many pop culture and experiencial references. I have never read a book that had so much of me in it but which also taught me how much more there still is to discover and learn. Great Job!

Like looking in a mirror !!!
Granted I haven’t “made” a lot of things, I’m a model maker but I will get into prop making soon, however the parts about list making and their benefits, tools and starting with cheap ones until you find out if you actually need it and about “future me” and “past me” are all things I have done, do and will do more of.
I really enjoyed this book, it was nice to hear about Adams journey from a kid to where he is now. I don’t want to sound cliché but I feel like he was writing my story too in a lot of ways.
I would definitely listen to anything else that Adam found the time to write.
Thank you for this Mr Savage this will be the first of many visits to your book.
