- These are my findings and based on my experience with over 47 hammers. Hammers are a very personal thing for weight,length and swing.

I love collecting hammers, sometimes I’m torn between using them and just keeping them shiny!
I know the feeling buddy.
Thanks for the video, the wooden stelitos are amazing. But i prefer a 22oz estwing framing... never have to replace any part. 1 piece forged steel. Its a staple in the industry for so many years.. verry well balanced and only $60 Canadian.
Cool I like my Miny 14
Hey. TH-cam did right by you. You popped up on my feed after watching a video about making solid pine cabinets and doors. Your beard is a lot like mine and I'm also Canadian and a woodworker, so it just makes sense to subscribe. Now, on to watch your first video! Good luck. Edit: Okay! You're a framer. Great! I'm a cabinet guy who needs more knowledge in framing. I know some basics that gets me by with window and door modifications, etc but more in-depth framing know-how will be right up my alley.
Perfect! That’s what I like to hear. This is a whole new world for me so hopefully I can get some traction and it’ll be worth the time adding another platform.
Have you tried estwing al pro hammer?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the alpaca smacka, wood handle titanium head hammer bade by a canadian company. It's not cheap, but looks really interesting.
I have the alpaca smacka and it is a very interesting hammer head. It’s like it was made to cover all bases. The problem I found is it doesn’t like the hammer sleeves unless ya do an extra step to get the back hook up and into the sleeve. It doesn’t like metal hammer loops because of the hook as well. So that’s the head. The handle is terrible and needs a redesign. Not even into the realm of functional or comfortable.
@@MrJoecanning i guess all the R&D went into the hammer head and they figured they just had to glue it to a stick with ca glue 🤪
@@LorneSzuto it could very well have been the case I’m not sure but they definitely need to keep hitting the drawing board on that handle.
Love the video and like the no rush 👌🏻 this style off vids suit you! Keep you’re experience flowing🔥👍🏻
Thanks man, I’ll keep it going.
Good video mate! I like the raw unedited approach. Always interesting to hear people's thoughts on tools and what their preferences are. Look forward to seeing more of your content on here
Thanks a lot. I’m just gonna jump right in and see what happens. Felt better not rushing the video down to a minute for the other platforms even though I did rush this just because that’s what I am used too. Hopefully this doesn’t end up being a waste of time. Only one way to find though 😂
i’m here for this 👏🏽🎉
This should be very interesting 😂
I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the Alpaca Smacka
I have a had time imagining what the purpose of a slightly convex head would be for driving nails.
BTW I'm not a carpenter but I find it interesting that there's more hammer designs today when nail-guns are the norm vs maybe the 70s when most carpenters were still using hammers.
How much do you actually use the magnetic nail holder? I have never driven a nail with one. Trying to decide between two good hammers, one has the magnetic holder and one does not.
I'm not even looking for hammer videos, but I came here just to say you have a sick ass beard. I have a long way to go before I get to where you are.
man, if i could grow a breed like that i would never cut it. that breed is rocking. Ooh nice hammers also !
I spent 13 years as a stone mason before getting into carpentry work. In season I build forms in bridge construction. I run 2 different Martinez m1’s. We don’t use nail guns. Everything we build needs to be easily stripped. Could never go back to anything less!
I like hearing someone speak about things they’re knowledgeable about t.
More videos!
I see you've got lots of shorts, but I'd like some more long form content.
really like the pace of the video. great content keep it up! im a stiletto 16oz curved guy myself
I thought it was Fred Durst in the thumb nail !
I got hit by a car so if that hammer is a truck maybe u shouldn’t get one 😂
Did you like your hardcore hammer ?
M1 is the best.
Love the Douglas 20 👍🏾.. I use a Ti Dalluge 16 oz now.. (identical pattern)
영감님 멋지십니다❤
Been trying to find the 16 oz for months haven't seen it anywhere unfortunately
What is going on with those rafters? Learn how to build then blow 1000$ on hammers lol.
You don't use a particular hammer for personal reasons, even though its your favorite? That confuses me
I don’t because of personal reasons and I’m a wood handle guy. Something about a wood handle that feels right. Natural shock absorption and feels better in a swing.
If like the made in china version of the 14 oz stiletto ruger
You’ll love the older made in the USA version even better
Yeah all the older ruger ones ping but they feel real nice when sinking nails. The new ones feel odd for some reason.. idk they feel.. dull idk what other way to describe it. I even tried several other quality handles and it just doesnt feel great
I have both and I do prefer the old Ruger for sure. I actually have a couple brand new old stock ones that I’ll never swing too.👌
@@MrJoecanning yeah luckily my dad left a few lying around here and there all in pretty dang good condition.
How would you say the tibones compare?
I do concrete form work. 22 oz or 24 oz long handle blue grip estwing for daily use.
I used an m1 martinez for about 2 1/2 years. Great feeling hammer the grip just feels right for my hand.
Only issue for me was the sidepuller, claws and bolt. I always kept the bolt tight never abused my hammer but the bolt always broke every 4-6 months or so lol
The claws are fine when brand new but after a while of flicking nails out it wears out and doesnt grip anything after a little while and the claws are somewhat sensitive lol
How do the tibone stilettos compare to the old rugers?
There are a couple hidden gems out there that I really like. The Stiletto Ruger 14oz titanium patent pending (possibly made in the Ruger fire arms plant) and the Dalluge 16oz titanium Douglas style . Both with amazing balance!
I have both. The Ruger is my favourite.
