Would buy again 10 times over,” commented one consumer. “I’m 70 years young, have arthritis, and this hammer allows me to sink 16d and ring shank nails in two to three strikes with no pain… This is now the best hammer I’ve ever owned and I have quite a few hammers.” Douglas hammers are not available and I haven't heard anything about them in a while. Vaughan and Dalluge have hammers with similar designs-Vaughan V-series, Dalluge Titanium. The Dalluge handles will not work on the Douglas Hammers.Similarly shaped to a claw hammer’s nail-pulling functionality, a side nail puller is conveniently located on the side of the tool's head. This is a helpful feature in tight spaces where the claw can’t be used. The features of this titanium-milled face hammer from Boss will impress even professional contractors with its dual-sided nail pullers. Unlike steel hammers, these tools enhance driving force with each swing and the rubber grip helps to protect hands and arms. It comes with a hex head, magnetic nail starters, and a titanium handle. It also comes with a magnetic nail starter, 180° nail puller, and waffled or smooth face options. = “I work in concrete form work so I build and strip a lot myself,” explained one shopper. “The side puller is worth the world and I love the lightweight and balance of the hammer.” Deciding on a handle length for a titanium hammer depends on personal preference and is largely dependent on the projects it’s needed for. The best framing hammer options will have long handles that measure at least 18 inches in length. These are the perfect hammers for heavy-duty projects. Something to keep in mind though is that longer handles in titanium hammers are more difficult to control.

If you do deconstruction or tear downs or you are busting concrete forms, buy a steel handled hammer. Don't come whining to me me if you break your wood handle because you were busting concrete forms!!! Use a crow bar or nail puller. We do have replacement handlesthough. A magnetic nail starter is a handy feature to have when driving nails into wood or other surfaces. The space at the top of the hammer holds the nail in place via a magnet and is ideal for one-handed driving. Side Nail Puller

Ideal for framing hammers, a milled face has a waffle-patterned hammer head to keep the hammer from slipping off the nail's head. These hammers shouldn’t be used on finished wood as they may leave marks due to the patterned hammer’s head. Magnetic Nail Starter Shorter handle designs are intended for smaller projects and offer increased control when driving nails. They provide a more balanced feel, especially for one-handed projects. Weight As mentioned earlier, the overall weight of a titanium hammer is essential to keep in mind, especially when using it for big jobs. A lighter-weight hammer will cause less fatigue. A good portion of titanium head hammers weighs at most 20 ounces. Even the best framing hammer with a titanium head weighs much less than a steel hammer. Heavier hammers are great for their ability to drive nails, but they require more swing and can tire the arm out faster. Milled Face The curved poly fiberglass handle on this milled face titanium tool from Stiletto reduces the strain on buyers who need to use a hammer all day. The fiberglass handle is lighter than wood or steel and absorbs impact better as well. I absolutely love this hammer,” raved one reviewer. “I do all sorts of carpentry projects and I love hammers… This Hammer is indestructible, and that side-pulling upgrade has spoiled me. I was pulling out 16d galvanized nails with ease on the siding job.”
