No rule of thumb for number of strikes. It depends on hardness of wood, weight of head, type and length of handle. Short loose blocks take more strikes. Demonstrations and professional carpenter work are not contests of nail driving speed.
Tim, I probably should have mentioned that Milwaukee puts on some type of coating over the metal. It is that coating that getting chipped away from the hammer head that looks like pitting. The actual metal is fine. Thank you for mentioning it.

@@cfldriven With 40 years of making a good living with hammers and power tools, one can speak with authority and confidence. Carpenter work is a very broad field with lots of variables. It is not a contest to see how fast nails can be driven. In the case of seasoned professional framers, 1-3 strikes for 16 penny nails is par depending on choice of hammers. Amateurs that are able to drive nails without bending them and hitting their fingers are to be commended.
For most homeowners the curved claw will be the preferred choice, but if you plan on building or demo project this would be a good choice. What do you think?
@@cfldriven Depending on the use it may be a good choice. Plus, I believe that at approximately $20 the price is fair. For the limited amount of work that I do needing a hammer my old one will work just fine.
Winny the Pooh needs to learn how to swing a hammer! Hahaha
Hey, we appreciate your video.. ❤
Thank you for watching.

It’s the operator not the hammer
Danny, LOL
I think you might need to practice your swing and contact. 6 stokes max!!
Practice, practice, practice, thank you for watching.
Hi , check out the milwaukee 20 oz with curved claw ✌️
Thank you for the suggestion.
On site we averaged 1 hit per inch , with any 20 oz hammer
The extra ounces can make a difference. thanks for sharing
Ith a straight claw you lever the nails out side ways !!
I find a curve hammer is best for nails close to the material. Thank you for watching.
The hammer face of that Milwaukee is badly pitted. Not nice!

@@cfldriven Thanks for clarifying that 👍
3 strikes max needed

Not too impressed with this hammer.

@@jwanilpatel3223 Perhaps limit your comments to things that you might know. I would stay away from spelling as an example.
Man I'd say you pull like a lil girl 😂 I got that hammer and never had a problem with all types of nails, all types of wood and angles
Let's not offend the lil girls, just a guy who doesn't hammer much. Thank you for sharing your experience with the hammer.
