I no longer believe the Vaughan 23oz is the best general-purpose hammer. I prefer the Vaughan 19oz straight handle smooth face. This is now the correct opinion of hammers.As you were.Puzzle-test error: There is no object, only an image.
>>3003066You're almost there hammer anon.. You almost reached the peak.
>>3003066Square > RoundPick > clawYour opinion is incorrect
>>3003088is that a tiny hobbit person? The hammer looks large until you look at the 2x4 framing. I can't find any more pictures of the guy, but his hands are obviously a working man's hands.
>>3003088>>3003171Stiletto used to be a house brand of the Baker and Hamilton store chain. They were founded to supply miners with equipment during the California Gold Rush. They were like Sears in many ways. They would issue giant catalogs, some of them thousands of pages, selling everything from household items to farming implements to guns to spare parts. Also like Sears they would have things manufactured for them and sold under a house brand. Some tools used the Stiletto name (Baker was also used, and others).Well, they went out of business sometime after WWII. Years and years later some fuckwit bought the Stiletto name, probably because their logo is cool as fuck, and started selling hammers using it. Then China came calling and he sold the whole company to TTI. The Milwaukee/Ryobi people. The Baker & Hamilton name is now used by one of the descendants to sell wine. Don't you use love it when corpo suit shitheads come along, cut the face off the corpse of a respected brand, and wear it around hoping no one will notice the smell?
>>3003088>Omitting from mention the titanium hammer in the photo.I prefer the Vaughan straight handle pattern to others.I emailed the vendor from whom I recently bought some of the pictured hammers to inquire about availability and whether Stiletto is made in the USA. Their reply is enclosed with a screenshot.I bought multiples of the Vaughan CF2P 19oz. They say made in USA on them. I think I'll drill holes in one of 'em until it weighs ~15oz and see if I like the way it strikes.>>3003153>Square > RoundNo. The rounded concave area is useful for smoothing edges/corners and is pleasant to handle.>Pick > clawNo. The claw is very useful for demo and pulling nails - not the intended way, rather, wedge the shank of the nail into the claw and lever sideways. It is possible to pull finish nails or nails with heads broken off in this way. Next step in pulling the nail if that doesn't work is to go get the 'end cutting pliers.'>Your opinion is incorrectNo, you.>>3003171An 18" handle is larger than that of many common framing hammers. The head is comparable size and lighter than steel of comparable size.
I use an Estwing I found by the roadIs fine
>>3003066while you are discussing hammers on the virgin loser internet board, I'm literally hammering your mother and/or wife
>>3003518With what though? That is the question.
I bought a TI14SS because I found one in person where I was able to peruse the selection. It says made in Taiwan on it. I still like the Vaughan CF2P more.>>3003267I don't think I believe you. Who would discard an Estwing?
