How a VAUGHAN Claw Hammer is made - BRANDMADE.TV
Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. Co. was founded in Peoria, Illinois by Alexander Vaughan. It began as a plumbing business, which in those days consisted of digging wells and piping water into the kitchens of the local citizenry. The inventive 18 year old blacksmith had an idea for improving the design of the augers used for digging post holes. He set up a blacksmith shop in a room behind a hardware store owned by Sidney Bushnell and the rest is history. For over 135 years Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. C has been designing and manufacturing hammers, many of which are now accepted as basic hammer designs - from the distinctive curve of the claw to the set of the handle and the shape of the head - were all introduced by Vaughan. Watch how Vaughan hammers are made.

The Vaughan 16 oz. Curved Claw Hammer - designed and made in America.
The company that is today Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. Co. was founded in Peoria, Illinois by Alexander Vaughan. It began as a plumbing business, which in those days consisted of digging wells and piping water into the kitchens of the local citizenry. Alexander’s business prospered, but the inventive, 18 yr old blacksmith had his eye on bigger things.
The split rail fencing of farmland was beginning to be replaced by steel posts and wire. Alexander had an idea for improving the design of the augers used for digging post holes. He turned idea into reality, and believing that Chicago would outstrip Peoria as a business center, moved to the Windy City. He set up a blacksmith shop in a room behind a hardware store owned by Sidney Bushnell.
Design:
We've been designing and manufacturing hammers for over 135 years. Many of what are now accepted as basic hammer designs - from the distinctive curve of the claw to the set of the handle and the shape of the head - were introduced by Vaughan. All are the result of Vaughan's commitment to constant hammer improvement and extensive field testing.
Balance is difficult to describe and impossible to formulate, but when a hammer's got it - you can just "feel it." A well-balanced hammer can seem to "swing itself" reducing stress on muscles and tendons. The hammer becomes an extension of arm, swinging smoothly and easily, delivering power blows almost effortlessly. Proper head-to-handle weight distribution is one of the key factors and Vaughan hammers have it! All Vaughan hammers are designed with our exclusive CAD/CAM system and extensively field tested.

Well al I can say is well done Vaughan. Well done for not sourcing your products from China, and well done for making the best hammers in the world.

The legendary mrpete222 does a pretty cool shop tour. The video is less refined than this but it's more of a plant walkthrough that shows many of the processes in more detail. Very satisfying to see an operation of this size still employing human beings! It's hammertime!
Vaughan hammers aren't so big in the UK but you can get them. I bought a Vaughan brick hammer when I was an apprentice, I didn't know who Vaughan were, I just needed a brick hammer, it was the best brick hammer I ever used till it was stolen. The quality stuck in my mind and I learned about Vaughan. I carry a little pro hammer in my general tool box, just a lovely thing.
Screw the Vaughan steel eagle, the Vaughan & Bushnell 999 is their best hammer, and probably the best framing hammer ever made. Nothing has ever and will never come along that's as good as a good piece of straight grained American hickory for a tool handle. Nothing absorbs shock as well, feels as good in hand, is as easy to shape as desired, ages as well, feels as good, and is as easy to replace as a properly wedged hickory handle.
One of my favorite hammers is my little 10oz Craftsman, made by Vaughan. The Steel on that hammer is phenomenal!

I have one of Vaughan's excellent 23oz. California style framing hammers with a hickory handle. It has the waffled strike face. I never use the magnetic nail set much, I just prefer the shape of that hammer head and the small bend in the handle which gives more leverage. These hammers are truly All-American......the steel forging done in Illinois......the hickory handles are made in Tennessee. Harbor Freight also has a China version for $10. I've been told it's good, but a foundry in China isn't putting Americans to work. The Vaughan is well worth the extra $20 IMHO.

Hickory is the worst wood for a hammer or axe. I have several axes, some with white oak handles and some with hickory handles. The white oak is much easier on the hands and elbow joints in a day of working.
Great hammers and at a good price for quality American hand made.
I live 2 blocks from Vaughn and my dad has worked there for 20 years

Good quality, well looked after tools will last beyond the working life of the people using them! Investing in quality tools is the way to go.
2:30 am..how did i get here
When is there a Vaughan open house or picnic? We want to make the trip. Big fans by way of having a pretty good collection of these hammers.
I have two with wooden shafts, I have others but those are the best hammers I have.
I've never even heard of them... Will keep my eyes open now though. Hopefully I can identify old ones some how...

Much of Vaughan's line of nylon, copper, and rawhide soft-faced hammers are produced right there in England. I use an English made Vaughan rubber hammer to drive pins out of my guns when I take them apart.

I used Vaughan prior to purchasing Estwing's kept breaking handles, now all my hammers, ballpean's, sledge's framing and finishing are Estwing.
vaughan claw are available in Philippines???
Just bought another Estwing (I kill one every three years or so). The thing that stopped me buying the Steel Eagle is that lump of wood in the head, I see it as a weakness. No doubt it would be fine for purely indoor work or house bashing but has anyone had one long term for shuttering (formwork to my Yankee cousins)?

26 oz California framing hammer is the ticket
fyi a drop hammer is not a press, there is a differance, its a hammer, and that is closed die forging for the record, a press is what trims it though.

I wish they would actually stamp the wording into the tools, rather than laser etching them. It just holds up better.

From the companies website: The lightweight DDT 16, with its patented deep “V” head design, provides faster, greater power at point of impact with less stress and arm fatigue. The DDT 16 hammer features a patented titanium head with overstrike guard. It’s exclusive Double “D”™ Magnetic Nail Holder has the ability to hold both standard and duplex nails and provides increased reach for one-handed nail starting, while the Sidewinder™ Nail Puller provides extra leverage for removing nails without ripping up forms. For fast and easy tear downs and rip outs the Short Stack™ Claws on the DDT 16 hammer are reinforced to provide increased strength for prying. Heads Made in China. Handles Made in USA. Assembled in USA. So the metal parts are made in China and they send them to the company in USA who presses or in this case screws a wooden handle onto the hammer head? I would consider making the handle about 5% of the overall process, so these are indeed 5% made in the USA and 95% made in China. Or if we just round it off: MADE IN CHINA.

What about them? Too lazy to finish the sentence? BE QUIET.
brand is longer a consideration in buying tools but the country where it's made.
Vaughn tools are the best you can get .
Some of the Comments made by the Employees sound Compacement to me and Unfortunately that attitude can sink a ship if you aren’t always trying to find ways t improve what you are doing constantly as competition in the free world is always going to try and out do you in one way or another Although Vaughn does make a good hammer i as a retired professional Woodworker preferred using another make for the 20 years i worked as a professional Carpenter and Cabinet Installer and that particular hammer still remains my Go To tool ! Trust me ive tried and owned many different brands over the years Including more expensive ones then theirs or my preferred one Yet Concluded over and over to stick with my choice !
I watched the video because Vaughan is my name.
While the Vaughan hammer is a good I prefer the Martinez hammer and any carpenter or post framer who uses one will confirm it
Vaughn straight hamner is better than most expensive hammers if you get the lightest Hammer . . . Vaughn Titanium cheaper than a Stiletto and better quality..
The hammer is actually stamped, not forged. I am a carpenter and have used most brand of hammers and I wouldn't put Vaughan hammers anywhere near the top. There is something wrong with the steel in the hammer, it rebounds too much. There hammers are well made but the steel in the heads needs to be made of steel that gives more of a dead blow. The best hammer I have ever used is a Japanese hammer with a white oak handle. The head is 20 oz and all the weight is in the head. It feels like a 16 oz hammer, easy on the elbow but will drive 16 penny mails with two hard blows and an easy blow to finish off.

@@RRaucina Right, I have quite a few in storage. The steel in the head is wrong and the handles are too stiff and large. I had rather use an American hammer for sure, but the companies that make American tools are hard headed and refuse to change. I have dozens of chalk lines, US made, that I bought as US made ones got a little better over the years, but it wasn't until a Japanese company made a really good one, that I was satisfied. Same thing with pry bars, the US companies have finally copied the Japanese ones, but they aren't made well.

Estwing is nice... but really only offer a steel made in USA line. Vaughan offers made in USA steel, wood, and fiberglass.. I prefer Vaughan, but have nothing but respect and good wishes for Estwing.
Just got a California framer 19oz.. The fit and finish is very poor, compared to my hickory handled Estwing, which was made in Taiwan.. Still, nothing that a few hours work won't put right, to turn it into a superb nail driving machine,, lol... Just a bit disappointed, that's all, after all the "made in USA" Hype... (I live in England)...
