I know I'll probably catch a bunch of![]()
I'm all about the "pride in ownership" thing but I can't quite grasp this whole titanium hammer thing. I would feel pretty silly if someone on the job site grabbed my hammer or asked me to do something with my hammer and I had to say, not with this one, let me get another one. I'm sure someone will try to explain the whole carpal tunnel elbow thing to me but .....
Yes,,,, I know what you mean....
I don't want to seem silly either.... if someone asks me to tack in some trim/crown, I just grab my 32 Vaughn Cali framer waffle face and tack it in.
Honestly I can't figure why any guy would buy a cordless drill at $200 when a screwdriver can be gotten for $2.
that's like comparing a nail gun to a hammer. not a hammer to a hammer. a $200 one does the same exact thing as a $5 one. not any better or faster.

I'm sure I'm gonna ruffle some feathers here but I'm having a hard time understanding why some people will purchase a $200 plus hammer and then suggest using another hammer for demo work, pounding metal stakes/forms, coaxing lumber into place, or using a cats paw, etc. all to prevent damage or breakage to their hammer. And removeable heads and/or the potential for loose parts on a hammer? I'm sure I don't use a hammer as much as some of you these days but having experimented with some of the titanium models in the past I can't quite feel the difference other than the hammer is lighter than the other models I've used. I've even went to the extreme of pounding (wasting) nails into lumber side by side for comparison purposes to the point that my family thought I had lost it. Even my wife suggested buying a nailgun instead of a $200 hammer. I've always thought that a man does everything with his one and only favorite hammer. Before you ask, I'm in my mid forty's and my own father tells me the guys who are actually using their tools for there intended purpose are the ones in the field using them and not polishing them while talking about them over that d*** computer.I guess those lighter hammers are more pleasureable to carry around though, they don't seem to pull my tool belt down.
I own a couple of those hammers (and probably a few other tools you or your dad couldn’t justify the price of). I use them for everything and don’t care if I break the handle, head, whatever – they’re replaceable. But then, I make a chit load of money :whistlingI know I'll probably catch a bunch of![]()

I'm guilty of wanting the most for my money and understand you get what you pay for too but I just can't understand not using a hammer for its intended purpose and having to worry about "breaking it".

except I've used one.......
