Beetle
1. a heavy hand tool, usually made of wood, used for ramming, pounding, or beating
3. to beat or pound with a beetle

The whole emphasis on the tool is that it is HEAVY

Point I was making that it was a 'heavy' tool. What if it had been a plastic hammer?

Well if it was a plastic hammer it would not be a heavy insect, but rather a lightweight M.C.!
but
A beetle is both heavy (the tool) and an insect and therefore is a double definition - not tenuous at all!
