Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

Some simple physics I heard when I first got a Stiletto: If you double the volume, you only double the force, but if you double the velocity, you quadruple the force. So, in theory, since the stiletto is lighter than steel hammers, you not only saving your arm w/ every swing, you are applying more force per swing w/ the lighter hammer.

I started framing in 2002 and picked up a stiletto in 2004. I feel pretty lucky to have started using a titanium hammer so early on in my profession. Here's to the next 50 years of swinging my stiletto!
