Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

I enjoyed framming with a Vaughn 32oz in the 70's. Despite the weight, it was almost effortless letting the weight of the hammer drive the nails(a tap to set and one to drive). I haven't framed much since then so I went down to a 28oz. Always being interested in trying new and hopefully better tools, I looked at titanium hammers a few years ago, but was leery spending that much on a 22oz hammer, especially since I favored heavier hammers. Instead I started using Paselode cordless nailers along with the 28oz for my projects. It's time to replace my Vaughn, I'd love to try a titanium framer. Every tool has it's place. Has anyone moved from a heavier framer to a titanium, I'd be interested in your comments.
