    Instead of hitting nails in for 10 houses build 10 houses and I bet you change your mind. I actually swing my hammer so when I hit something you feel the tang in the joints of your fingers like you hit a baseball with the handle of the bat. Titanium head wood handle will save your joints if you actually use a hammer everyday.

    Yo homie I've been in the game 10 years. My dad was in the game 40 years. I took over his estwing when he died that he bought in his first week. So that estwing is going on 50 years and its good as new. And f*** a waffle face. I did recently get a rig axe to try that out and it's got a waffle face so I had to file grind that s*** off. I've never had a hammer slip off a nail without one and the problem with one is all you can use it for is framing. The ancient estwing can drive anything from a railroad spike to a one inch trim nail and leave a clean surface every time.

    Why so angry at a non problem, keep using a steel hammer and don’t use the titanium. No need to insult titanium hammers, I used both for more than a decade in the harshest conditions and titanium is great lightweight and durable enough for long periods of use, estwing is also awesome, indestructible, reliable. Titanium hammers just are lightweight and faster to handle. Preference from experience, all different, that is a good conclusion to this debate.

    Doing formwork we have to occasionally clean the edges of used formply before laying them. Working with my old man he was cleaning one of these plywood sheets with the neck of his estwing and it snapped it half 😅 Granted his hammer was probably 20 years old at the time. When i was an apprentice i saw many many older guys in their 50s to 60s and their all their estwings were old as fuck. One guys rubber grip was that worn out it has lost all its texture and divots. Good hammers, only now the past few years we are getting these Martinez and boss hammers here in Australia (formwork carpentry)

    velocity has an exponential relationship with energy, mass does not. I'm just not accurate enough to be fast enough where I'm imparting more energy into the nail with a faster moving titanium than a slower moving and heavier steel hammer. Ironic to your point, I'd say titaniums are probably best appreciated by masters who have the speed and accuracy to take advantage of its benefits, not to mention being lighter and easier on their frailing bodies after that many years in the trades 😅

    I can say this, I have just recently put up 600 feet of cattle fence and using a titanium hammer required many more blows and a harder swing to sink the staple. I use it because the waffle head is easier to hit a crowned staple than a smooth head. And I didn't miss.

    It depends. Titanium hammers definitely are not indestructible like a steel hammer but they have their place. I have a 14oz stilleto titanium hammer but I use my 22oz estwing and my 23oz vaughn just as much. The estwing is my favorite tool because along with a pair of channel locks it’s the very first tool my dad ever bought me. I was like 8 when he got me those and I’m 36 now and haven’t lost either one luckily. You can’t beat the patina an estwing gets once it’s old

    A titanium hammer harnesses a full 97% of the energy garnered from that hammer swing and transfers it directly to the nail. For comparison, a steel hammer transfers only 70% of that energy to the nail. Titanium has MORE striking force ratio by weight.

    If you like to use old technology, then keep enjoying it. It doesn't mean that titanium hammers suck. Furthermore, who is to say that this steel hammer is not one of dozens you have used and it's the only one that's still alive. But even assuming this isn't the case, you're still swinging over 30% more weight than me with nothing extra to show for it. It's not that titanium hammers suck - you are just a luddite. Nothing wrong with that.

    First off you are angry you can’t afford a titanium hammer. Second you’re probably a diy guy so of course that hammer is going to last a long time. My crew and I in the days before we got titanium hammers we would change hammers after six months. The grips would slide off, face would go smooth. If it was a fiber glass handle the heads would get loose. I’ve had my m1 Martinez for two years now and it’s still original head and handle even though they are replaceable.
