A 'hammer with hook' is a tool used in post-mortem operations. As the song is about a medical student committing a murder with a hammer, it is possible The Beatles were referrring to one of these.
![]() Hammer with hook The hammer (perhaps the Beatles' inspiration for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"?) is used with the chisel to separate the calvarium from the lower skull. The hook is handy to pull the calvarium away. From Uthman's Autopsy Tools IIRC it is also believed that Maxwell's Silver Hammer could be a euphemism for an injection of heroin.
