I no longer believe the Vaughan 23oz is the best general-purpose hammer. I prefer the Vaughan 19oz straight handle smooth face. This is now the correct opinion of hammers.As you were.Puzzle-test error: There is no object, only an image.
>>3003066You're almost there hammer anon.. You almost reached the peak.
>>3003066Square > RoundPick > clawYour opinion is incorrect
>>3003088is that a tiny hobbit person? The hammer looks large until you look at the 2x4 framing. I can't find any more pictures of the guy, but his hands are obviously a working man's hands.
>>3003088>>3003171Stiletto used to be a house brand of the Baker and Hamilton store chain. They were founded to supply miners with equipment during the California Gold Rush. They were like Sears in many ways. They would issue giant catalogs, some of them thousands of pages, selling everything from household items to farming implements to guns to spare parts. Also like Sears they would have things manufactured for them and sold under a house brand. Some tools used the Stiletto name (Baker was also used, and others).Well, they went out of business sometime after WWII. Years and years later some fuckwit bought the Stiletto name, probably because their logo is cool as fuck, and started selling hammers using it. Then China came calling and he sold the whole company to TTI. The Milwaukee/Ryobi people. The Baker & Hamilton name is now used by one of the descendants to sell wine. Don't you use love it when corpo suit shitheads come along, cut the face off the corpse of a respected brand, and wear it around hoping no one will notice the smell?
>>3003088>Omitting from mention the titanium hammer in the photo.I prefer the Vaughan straight handle pattern to others.I emailed the vendor from whom I recently bought some of the pictured hammers to inquire about availability and whether Stiletto is made in the USA. Their reply is enclosed with a screenshot.I bought multiples of the Vaughan CF2P 19oz. They say made in USA on them. I think I'll drill holes in one of 'em until it weighs ~15oz and see if I like the way it strikes.>>3003153>Square > RoundNo. The rounded concave area is useful for smoothing edges/corners and is pleasant to handle.>Pick > clawNo. The claw is very useful for demo and pulling nails - not the intended way, rather, wedge the shank of the nail into the claw and lever sideways. It is possible to pull finish nails or nails with heads broken off in this way. Next step in pulling the nail if that doesn't work is to go get the 'end cutting pliers.'>Your opinion is incorrectNo, you.>>3003171An 18" handle is larger than that of many common framing hammers. The head is comparable size and lighter than steel of comparable size.
I use an Estwing I found by the roadIs fine
>>3003066while you are discussing hammers on the virgin loser internet board, I'm literally hammering your mother and/or wife
>>3003518With what though? That is the question.
I bought a TI14SS because I found one in person where I was able to peruse the selection. It says made in Taiwan on it. I still like the Vaughan CF2P more.>>3003267I don't think I believe you. Who would discard an Estwing?
>>3003689I doubt it was discarded, probably fell off a toolbox. I find neat stuff by the road all the time. I found a Husky 1/2" ratchet not too long ago
>>3003536ball peen
>>3003171>TitaniumWhy would you want a less dense material for a hammer head - assuming equal toughness.
>>3004418big fuckoff face with a manageable weight
>>3004511The perfect white woman.
this is my hammer
16oz estwing is the only hammer a man should ever need
>>3003066i want a new (cheap) framing hammer 22oz seems most popular 24 are an anomaly and like $50why shouldnt i get the 28oz picel?discuss
>>3005521Would that be the curved or straight claw my lord?
Okay I paired a CF2 handle with a titanium head and this might be my new regular hammer. I'd just like it more if the head were made in USA.>>3008063It's a good solid hammer. I prefer a magnetic nail start and wooden handle. Such as Vaughan CF1.
Dalluge 2110 is as good as a framing hammer can be. the Italians truly are masters of form and functiont. Irish/German Amerimutt contractor
Whats with the ducktape
I own three different hammers and none of them are a framing hammer. Somehow, it's never come up that I should need one.
>>3011573>Dalluge 2110 is (the best or equal to the best of) a framing hammer.I already have a 23oz, 19oz and 14oz CF pattern hammer. Why should I want a 21oz version? (I don't.)I've been using the 14oz as I like that it's lighter in my tool belt. What I don't like about it:>Made with outsourcing.>I was pronouncing the name similar to deluge however the packaging specifies that it's pronounced similar to duh-phlegmgob.*>I often pull a nail by wedging it into the hammer claw and levering sideways. Works well most of the time even on finish nails or nails with the heads broken off. However the titanium head is soft enough that it damages the claw to do this.Why the adjustable wrench?Why do you like that type of pencil? I like a 'number 2 lead holder' even though it holds graphite.What shoes?*some artistic liberty taken though not much.>>3012785>Whats with the ducktapeTape on my hammer handles? To protect from overstrikes - it's friction tape with a piece of metal food can under it. Second to drying out, overstrikes are most likely to damage a wooden hammer handle.>>3012812>I own three different hammersPost hammers.
