Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

My dad and grandfather were both carpenters. We only had Stanley Jobmasters in the house. It's what I swung because it's what we had. Both my dad and grandfather have passed on now but I still like to do light remodeling and handy work for friends, my church and myself (as time allows). A few years ago, we were remodeling and reshingling a building which would become our Nursery School. A buddy of mine lent me his titanium hammer. I was amazed at how light it was and how effortlessly I was able set and sink the nails. I couldn't believe it! I am now actively involved in our church Youth Group and we leave this Friday for Puerto Rico to build homes there with other churches. Last year we built in Philadelphia and the year before in Memphis. I would love to win this hammer and be able to pass it on to one of the youth who excels at or shows a real interest in the trade. Anyway, keep us in your prayers. Thanks.
