A bomb squad in China was called to the home of a 90-year-old woman after it was discovered she had been using a grenade from WWII as a hammer for over 20 years!

The woman told reporters that she was working on her farm when she found a “strange metal lump” with a wooden handle.

Mistaking it for a hammer, over the past two decades the woman used it to crack nuts and hammer nails according to Oddity Central.

Authorities have no idea how the grenade didn’t explode.  They were able to safely remove the grenade from the woman’s property and detonate it.

No word yet if they gave her a new, proper hammer.
