Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?
The titanium hammer may be light, but in order t0 get the same nailing force as a similar steel one, it means you have to pound it with more speed in order to compensate for the less mass/weight of it. So, you should be feeling the bounce forces in your arm anyways. If you want to have your arm in good condition when you get older, stick as much as possible with pneumatic nailers, that's my opinion.

Elbow joints do wear off, eventually, no matter how good is your hammer.

I think bone joints wear off eventually, no matter how gentle is the hammer.
