Re: Titanium hammers up for grabs. Want one?

I'm just a DIYer and would likely not get the full medical or production benefits of this new hammer, but for a pro, what is $200 spread over 10 or even 20 years of daily work? I calculate less than $0.11 per day. Even as an amateur, though, I rarely buy anything less than professional quality tools. Working with good tools makes me feel good and actually increases the quality of my work. Would I buy a $200 hammer right now. Maybe not, but I'm sure putting one on my wish list. Until the "tooth fairy" smiles on me, I'll just keep on using my 30+ year old wood handled, waffle faced standby.
