Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

I'd like a titanium hammer/axe to match the rest of my spare parts. I was hit head-on by a pickup truck that broke off from the dolly that it was being towed on. Then the guy left me there.

I now have a titanium (T) nail (rod) in my left femur (and a few T screws); a couple of T plates and T screws in my left ulnar and radial bones (forearm); T screws and T staples in my right shoulder (rotator cuff repair) and some excellent xrays of the whole mess. I still have a chance to expand on my collection (as stated above), but am waiting for the spine surgeon to return from Ethiopia.

Before 23+ years of Govt. service (FBI), I used to teach Industrial Arts and have renovated buildings in Florida, Memphis TN, New Jersey and NYC. I still have (and love) my 16oz. leather grip Estwing claw and a nice Klein electrician's hammer with long rip teeth, but dropping a little weight and adding a little power would be nice now. I'm still renovating, just much more slowly.

PS After all the above, it's still an adventure (just like all our projects) even if I do feel a little like Wiley Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons.
