Great bang for the buck [Posted on 2005-11-15]
I run a framing outfit and swing a hammer full time for a living. Titanium is the only way to go and 16oz seems to be just the right weight. I'd say this thing swats nails in a manner comparable to a 22 oz steel hammer, with about a 1/4 of the fatigue and elbow shock.
I've owned and swung all of the titanium hammers, from the first generation Stiletto Ruger to the $200+ Stiletto Ti-Bone and this is, by far, my favorite.
The great thing about buying a Vaughn hammer is that I've found their hickory handles to be superior to most other manufacturer's choices. I always get a very respectable service life out of the original handles before they need replacing. My current Ti-tech is about 10 months old and still has it's original handle. That's unheard of. Vaughn seems to have really mastered the handle to head connection through all their years of producing high quality hammers.
TiTech Unbreakable [Posted on 2007-05-18]
For 20 years I've swung 20 oz hammers. It usually takes me 2-3 years to break a fiberglass handle pulling 16's with 1 yank- wooden hadles last only days tearing out conc forms/demo/etc. I'd buy a stilletto if it had a fiberglass handle. I loved the TiTech's burly handle, I Loved the magnet, But the head is way to wide I can't set a toenail in a corner a traditional small head is superior with my accuracy. As welll if you hit off center with the giant wide head it glances off. The interchangeable head seems dumb, it kind of rattles. The TiTech head came off the handle in under 2 months, the epoxy failed. This is the first time Vaughn has ever let me down. I am waiting for a Real 16 oz. Ti fiberglass waffle head with magnet.
