A few years ago ,a fellow carpenter noticed my titanium hammer and wanted to check it out .He held onto it,swung it a few times and handed it back to me.After I told him It cost me 200 Bones he laughed a said he would never pay that kind of money for a hammer .I told him that I have about Three thousand dollars worth of ski equipment in my garage( I'm an avid backcountry,downhill and croos country skier )and I use that stuff on weekends about 4 months a year .I said $200 is nothing when you consider you earn a living using that hammer 8-10 hours a day your entire career.He reluctantly agreed .I don't know if he ever plunked down the cash to buy a Stilletto but I know this ; "it is never a waste of money to buy quality tools that save you wear and tear and make your job a little easier .
