I agree with you on the hammer metaphor (Besides, that's the wrong sort 
of hammer).
The 'triangle tool', btw is a trowel - Used by bricklayers and masons 
alike for spreading mortar on bricks (and, incidentally, gardeners - 
but totally the wrong way and a slightly different tool that's really a 
spade).  I thought this was a good metaphor and fit the bill nicely but 
clearly there's a problem if even its symbol is unclear.

I don't think a lego brick is a good idea (We don't want a patented 
object on out gnome desktops now do we?)

Possibly a half-built house? (That may require too much detail...)
