Alternate Soviet Symbol

The hammer and sickle is obvious, and before that there was the hammer and plough.

Can you think of any alternate symbol the Soviets might have used, and therefore result in a different "Communist" symbol?
 
The sickle seems to me to be the most critical element. The symbol was meant to express the programmatic unity between industrial workers and rural peasants, and indeed many of those workers who were part of the Bolshevik core membership had grown up on farms and had a sort of nostalgia for the land.

You might substitute the hammer for a gear, but the core appeal was that both were simple and easily recognizable tools and so fit vexilogical conventions.

Was there any other tool which would have evoked such feelings?

You could take inspiration from the flags of Angola and Mozambique:
