Framing Hammers

[woodtool89]

You may consider one of the new titanium hammers ,those heavy ones could give a guy a hernia after a while .

you may consider GFY Brian!

took a 8 hour ride to NY today to look at a truck...bad idea...little sore now

Looks like an aluminum hammer would really suck. Chip up dent up. No?

 

[jakethesnake]

I might just be too ol fashioned in my hammer choice. The old plumb w fiberglass handle putty good too

 

[jakethesnake]

I like galvanized nails and stuff. They hold good. Does that count? Looks like that aluminum eatswing has a different material for head and claw. Still not thinking I dig it though

thinking ifin you overstrike and hit the handle the head would bend/snap off?

*s-word yeah. Nah I thought the actual head itself was aluminum. Aluminum an steel don't get along anyhow. You'd never get it apart so not sure why they screwed the claw n head on anyhow. That *s-word will corrode together I am gonna call that design an overthought failure

 

[junkman]

Think it was steel with dead blow material inside the head to absorb vibes

My favorite one is a Plumb checker face framing hammer Ive had since 1991 I think.

32 oz steel estwing for me. 3-1/2" framing nails, set, tap, and in.

The Hart did not live up to my expectations. Dropped it about 4 feet to the concrete and the end of the handle broke and exposed about 2”on the steel shank. Brought it back to home depot and I’m now on the look for a replacement

Ordered the Milwaukee 17oz hammer today. Looked long and hard at some more expensive ones but they don’t last long in my line of work. This Vaughan I have now is starting to show signs of falling apart after the longest one I’ve had.

My dad liked his plumbs and vaughns i like the estwings myself
