In this thread we champion the art of marketing as it targets the dumbasses in society. I submit for you the titanium hammer:














This fucking thing weighs 15oz and costs $220. It is completely worthless. Ask anyone who has swung a hammer for any length of time and he will tell you it takes weight to drive a nail, and a decent hammer starts at 19oz and costs $30. This son of a goat fucking faggot was introduced about eight years ago and survives today because products don't need to be legitimate, they just need people dumb enough to buy them.







Your turn to list some uber high speed useless dick stretchers...

The best drills I've ever had.  YMMV

OP, depends on what your hammer is used for.  I've got an 8oz that works great.    Though I agree, a titanium hammer is

Pipe  wrenches other than RIDGID.....I got my nose broken by a brand spanking new Lenox brand that slipped off the fitting...I know plenty of other professionals that refuse to use anything but RIDGID due to similar experiences.

Those one size fits all socket wrenches.

It's like a 1/2 or a 3/4" socket, but its filled with pins and its supposed to fit any nut or bolt

I was a custom framer in the late 90's . I found that being able to swing the hammer quickly for a strait 8 was better than the heavy blow. The Hart 24 oz ruled the day at the time. But the 18 was far better for a full days work. 200+ for a hammer fuck off. But lighter was better for me .
the point of the nail does the work, not the weight of the hammer. A fast swing wins every time. A sledge at the bottom of a wall will bounce. It's your foot against it that moves the wall when you swing. Light hammers are fine.

They are okay for around the house projects but not so much professional being used all day every day applications. Hilti is the go to brand for pro level use since Dewalt and Milwaukee have shit the bed.

Precisely .  Torque to clamping force is highly variable, using any torque wrench calibrated to +- 2% thinking you are doing something beneficial is whistling while waking past the graveyard.

Negative. Makita has beat the shit out of the competition for years. I've used mine daily since 2010, only had a battery fail.

The one and only use I have ever seen for that is to drive hooks or rings with a drill/impact driver.  I was kind of impressed after seeing that, but wouldn't buy one.

And, you're showing your ass. The majority of the professional framers I know use this precise hammer, and you know why? The damn handles don't break, even when the ever-loving snot is abused out of them. On top of that, you completely miss the whole idea behind these, in that the lighter heads+steel-face enable you to hit with more velocity. Then, there's the safety aspect--You never see the head fly off when the handle dries out, or breaks. That, in and of itself is a major safety issue. I nearly got brained last year when one of the guys I was working around proved to be a complete idiot about tool maintenance, and allowed his handle to dry out to the point that the wedges flew out. After the head of his hammer buried itself into the sheathing near my head, he's like "Oh, sorry... I didn't think it was that loose...". Idiot.

I thought it was BS until I did a side-by-side comparison with a steel-headed hammer. Guess what? The Stiletto drove harder, deeper, and did a much better overall job, as well as being less tiring to work with over the course of a day.

I guess there must be something wrong with most of the pro framers I know, because they all use these or are saving up their money to buy one.
