I have a 10oz stellto wood handle hammer (finish smooth face) and liked it alot! That led me to the 15oz tibone that I use today. The inert dead nature of titanium hammers is what I love and not that this would happen they don't rust. Just a nice thing that cost way more to get but is worth it to many people.
I stopped by a tool handle manufacturer south of Batesville, AR with my worn out Stilleto framer. It turns out, they make the handles for Stellieto and had the cylindrical wedges and all. So at least the handle is truly American made.
I worked as a framer. I will never own a milled face hammer. All it takes is missing a nail once to understand why you don’t want one. On the upside it’s an effective meat tenderizer.
So I picked the Klein and it’s alright as far as weight goes, but I did like how wide the head was. Reminded me of the 18oz toughbuilt. The nail puller was also surprisingly easy to use.
Just a p.s.a.: Titanium, while being "stronger" than steel is accurate... That is specifically a measurement based on it's strength-to-weight ratio... That means that while more suitable for specific applications where weight is s factor... Titanium is the superior choice... But. Titanium is generally not as preferable as good old carbon steel when it comes to making things like tools. This is because a good heat treated Carbon steel can be almost twice as hard as Titanium, generally speaking. Also you would need more titanium to make a hammer head as heavy by volume.
I have a Ti crowbar from 30 years ago (maybe Russian IIRC) it's not brittle and it has a thin nail claw... excellent tool and I think it was pretty cheap.. a customer gave it to me.
@@johnossendorf9979 sometimes it is in stock but every employee there has been looking for it for months because it is lost in the tracking system for what top shelf it was put on.
that grain orientation is beautiful
I bought a vaughan 48oz ball peen that had perfectly horizontal grain orientation. I attempted to contact the company but was ignored.

Hello again, Doc
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching today's video. Again thank you 👌

Looks like nice hammer. Thanks Doc

Estwing had their AL pro. But o never got to handle one. Apparently a 14oz head weight, but looks much larger

I have never had a good experience with the wood handle. They have always broke on me. So I have not spent my own money on one same with fiberglass...
The Lowe’s nearest me shows 2 of those Klein hammers in stock
"In stock" on the Lowe's site means maybe it's in stock at Lowe's. It's a 50/50 chance.

No Vaughan?
Personally Made in America by Todd: American Made with 100% American! Is Vaughan playing both sides?

I am not so sure about the claw
O’doyle rules!
...❤👍
If it's made in China it's not a hammer, it's just a hammer shaped object.
Unless it's a really nice framing hammer, then it loops back around to useless
@jankington216 you mean framing hammer shaped object.
That Klein is so square and ugly I thought it was a Toughbuilt.
Nothing guicci about that trash Doyle.
Lowe's has the Klein hammers but my store(Buffalo\W.Amherst) is only showing 3 available right now.🔨⚒️🛠️🦺👍🏻
