Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

The less I use my hammer the better I like it. Most of my nailing is done by gun but I always fine a way to use my hammer for something. I stopped using those huge macho framing hammers years ago...I use a 16 oz. Plumb fiberglass hammer for everything short of a 5 lb. sledge. I have found,however, that money spent on quality tools, always comes back to me many times over. My advice is to go for as much quality as you can afford...not just in tools...but in everything. So,if you like the looks or feel of titanium, go for it. Tools will get you through times of no money, better than money will get you through times of no tools.
