Tristate

Its interesting to read how many people say they don't think they are worth it. But I can tell you from experience that they are. I bought my first one about 6 years ago and haven't looked back. As a professional carpenter I have lots of different hammers. A couple years ago I bought all my employees a titanium hammer for Christmas. I know it was expensive but they sure were proud of them. The only thing I can say is that the ones with a composite handle and rubber grip are better. After several broken wooden handles from trying to pull the occasional nail that gets buried at the wrong place, some of my guys opted to upgrade to the composite handle and like it alot more. Bottom line if you do any type of construction for a living, you owe it to your self to give em a try.
