>titanium hammer Is there an German/Italian/French/EU alternative to this?
Yes
Why you want to pay extra?
>>2975084So that I get a higher quality product and can lord it over poor fatties
>>2975084KC is made in the Uk, I want an alternative made in continental Europe because I like to buy local. Picard has a titanium option but isn't quite there looks wise.
>>2975074That's nice but I prefer a 16 Oz ball peen when I'm getting answers to questions.
>>2975074Titanium doesn't seem like the best material for a hammer handle. Titanium is brittle. I can see how something fancy is a selling point, but a simple steel or hardwood hammer would probably be less likely to shatter.
>>2975238Titanium is famously flexible. Wtf are you talking about?
>>2975328it also work hardens a lot, that handle is going to be brittle unless extreme care has been taken when machining.
>>2975074European tool companies make cost effective tools to get a job done. They market towards professional tradespeople and industry.A titanium hammer is not a cost effective tool, it is a novel toy. The customer set for such a toy is manchildren, which europe has significantly less off, hence why there are barely any european tool companies catering to them.The US on the other hand has cults like snapoff and such, so you get such retardation.

>>2975210Protip of the day.
>>2975238>>2975328Titanium alloy probably
>>2975074Titanium hammers are a meme, they exist solely to separate idiots from their money. There's nothing wrong with a steel hammer.
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you want some amount of weight from what ever hammer you are using? Isn't the point of using titanium that you get good strength and corrosion resistance for its weight? But if you have a hammer that needs to have a 3lb head to perform, then wouldn't you just need a bigger titanium head?
>>2979044I'm certain the head is steel. A titanium head would fracture very quickly. The head has to be tougher than the nail.
>>2975074titanium is lighter than steel.if the point of a hammer is to actually bash things in, why would you make a lighter hammer?t. euro.
>>2979044>>2979123The idea behind these hammers is that you get as much force from swinging it faster as you would from using a heavier hammer, while also reducing fatigue due to being lighter which is the main benefit. Good if you're swinging your hammer literally all fucking day and a lot of carpenters especially framers prefer lighter hammers for this reason, these designer titanium hammers are just the logical conclusion. I don't think any other trade would want hammers like this.
