I am curious at how well the titanium hammers work for hitting other things, besides nails... bars, cat's paws, coaxing plates into place, etc. Pounding nails all day (even with a big hammer) doesn't necessarily irritate me. But i definitely feel it in my arms after doing a lot of remodeling/demolition that involves hitting bars and working in tighter quarters, without room to get a good swing. To me it seems like that is where the wrist and elbow pain comes from, and i dont know if i would be real eager to subject a $200 hammer to that abuse. I would give it a try though, or save it for days when we are just framing.
