Re: Light in the Tunnel: A Moldy Crawlspace Nightmare Part 4
Mr. Jackson,
posted: 10:33 pm on June 14thWhat are the name of those lifting fixtures you're using? I do this type of work fairly often and those would be perfect.
Thanks,
Matt
Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?
I've been using a wood handled Stiletto about two months ago. I bought mine during a promotion for only $35, the same price of other quality hammers so the decision was easy. I'm younger so I cannot comment on the pain relieving effects of these hammers but I have noticed that it much easier on my back than my usual 28oz. All around my Stiletto is a better hammer for regular nailing. Where it comes up short is when you are in a confined space, and you can't get the speed required to drive nails home. Another shortcoming appears to be in the hardness of the titanium head, it had a tendency to slide of the nail on impact, a waffle face is a necessity for any framers considering these hammers. I love this hammer and would buy another in a heartbeat, but steel hammers will always have a place on my site.
