How a VAUGHAN Claw Hammer is made - BRANDMADE.TV
Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. Co. was founded in Peoria, Illinois by Alexander Vaughan. It began as a plumbing business, which in those days consisted of digging wells and piping water into the kitchens of the local citizenry. The inventive 18 year old blacksmith had an idea for improving the design of the augers used for digging post holes. He set up a blacksmith shop in a room behind a hardware store owned by Sidney Bushnell and the rest is history. For over 135 years Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. C has been designing and manufacturing hammers, many of which are now accepted as basic hammer designs - from the distinctive curve of the claw to the set of the handle and the shape of the head - were all introduced by Vaughan. Watch how Vaughan hammers are made.

The Vaughan 16 oz. Curved Claw Hammer - designed and made in America.
The company that is today Vaughan & Bushnell Mfg. Co. was founded in Peoria, Illinois by Alexander Vaughan. It began as a plumbing business, which in those days consisted of digging wells and piping water into the kitchens of the local citizenry. Alexander’s business prospered, but the inventive, 18 yr old blacksmith had his eye on bigger things.
The split rail fencing of farmland was beginning to be replaced by steel posts and wire. Alexander had an idea for improving the design of the augers used for digging post holes. He turned idea into reality, and believing that Chicago would outstrip Peoria as a business center, moved to the Windy City. He set up a blacksmith shop in a room behind a hardware store owned by Sidney Bushnell.
Design:
We've been designing and manufacturing hammers for over 135 years. Many of what are now accepted as basic hammer designs - from the distinctive curve of the claw to the set of the handle and the shape of the head - were introduced by Vaughan. All are the result of Vaughan's commitment to constant hammer improvement and extensive field testing.
Balance is difficult to describe and impossible to formulate, but when a hammer's got it - you can just "feel it." A well-balanced hammer can seem to "swing itself" reducing stress on muscles and tendons. The hammer becomes an extension of arm, swinging smoothly and easily, delivering power blows almost effortlessly. Proper head-to-handle weight distribution is one of the key factors and Vaughan hammers have it! All Vaughan hammers are designed with our exclusive CAD/CAM system and extensively field tested.

Amazing work. .thanks 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
Well al I can say is well done Vaughan. Well done for not sourcing your products from China, and well done for making the best hammers in the world.
All I ever use!
The legendary mrpete222 does a pretty cool shop tour. The video is less refined than this but it's more of a plant walkthrough that shows many of the processes in more detail. Very satisfying to see an operation of this size still employing human beings! It's hammertime!
I live 2 blocks from Vaughn and my dad has worked there for 20 years
That's excellent. What does he think about the Vaughan Claw, Beandon?
eeedgtf
Beandon Welsh good
Beandon Welsh hello just out of curiosity what does what does ur Dad do at the Vaughan hammer factory??
They call my right hand the Vaughan Claw ;)
Vaughan hammers aren't so big in the UK but you can get them. I bought a Vaughan brick hammer when I was an apprentice, I didn't know who Vaughan were, I just needed a brick hammer, it was the best brick hammer I ever used till it was stolen. The quality stuck in my mind and I learned about Vaughan. I carry a little pro hammer in my general tool box, just a lovely thing.
I have one of Vaughan's excellent 23oz. California style framing hammers with a hickory handle. It has the waffled strike face. I never use the magnetic nail set much, I just prefer the shape of that hammer head and the small bend in the handle which gives more leverage. These hammers are truly All-American......the steel forging done in Illinois......the hickory handles are made in Tennessee. Harbor Freight also has a China version for $10. I've been told it's good, but a foundry in China isn't putting Americans to work. The Vaughan is well worth the extra $20 IMHO.
Hickory is the worst wood for a hammer or axe. I have several axes, some with white oak handles and some with hickory handles. The white oak is much easier on the hands and elbow joints in a day of working.
The quality of these tools is special.
Great hammers and at a good price for quality American hand made.
Screw the Vaughan steel eagle, the
Vaughan & Bushnell 999 is their best hammer, and probably the best framing hammer ever made.
Nothing has ever and will never come along that's as good as a good piece of straight grained American hickory for a tool handle.
Nothing absorbs shock as well, feels as good in hand, is as easy to shape as desired, ages as well, feels as good, and is as easy to replace as a properly wedged hickory handle.
One of my favorite hammers is my little 10oz Craftsman, made by Vaughan. The Steel on that hammer is phenomenal!
I believe you your are a master tool refurbisher thank you
best hammers made. to me anyway. Dont work with my tools anymore, but still have my Vaughans. My preference was always a wood handle Vaughan. Can't be beat.
+nate You can pass them on! Great tools are a great gift.
Made in USA. I just picked up a couple more at yard sales. Great brand....tHanks to the whole Vaughan crew!
You get knocked around in this business!! You Da Best!!!
I just got my first one a 16oz California framer love it so far
Good job men, just keep it up.
I love my Vaughn Framer!
Loved their Vaughan Vanadium although they ceased manufacturing them for some reason
These hammers are awesome
bonjour superbe vidéo ,et matériel de bonne qualité .
Their hammers are the definitive hammers.
Love it quality hammer.
Excelente
When is there a Vaughan open house or picnic? We want to make the trip. Big fans by way of having a pretty good collection of these hammers.
Good quality, well looked after tools will last beyond the working life of the people using them!
Investing in quality tools is the way to go.
Best channel ever!!!!! MAKE BREAD RELATED VIDEO
I've never even heard of them... Will keep my eyes open now though. Hopefully I can identify old ones some how...
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
I have two with wooden shafts, I have others but those are the best hammers I have.
Giờ đây tôi đã biết đến công đoạn sản xuất ra những chiếc búa như thế này,thật sự rất tuyệt vời
Hammers? Vaughan 'nails' it.
2:30 am..how did i get here
I was always an estwing fan until one day i dropped my hammer and asked a guy for a lend of his real quick, it was a steel eagle and it felt so balanced and good to swing i had to get one, plus they are inexpensive, i want to get a california framer next
Did you get a California framing hammer? It's my all time favorite. The waffle face on that thing and the small kink in the handle makes a big difference.
@@Lex5576 hi, yes I bought a Vaughn California framer 23oz, she's a beast of a hammer but very happy with it, the extra length of the shaft is a big bonus
Used Vaughan hammers since i started carpentry 20 years ago. think i have like six of them.
What are the songs they use for background music in this video?
im from the uk, and just recently got my 1st vaughan, wow ive never felt anything like it!!!! so more superior to an estwing or any other hammer!!!
Much of Vaughan's line of nylon, copper, and rawhide soft-faced hammers are produced right there in England. I use an English made Vaughan rubber hammer to drive pins out of my guns when I take them apart.
the best wood handle ball been/ claw hammers in u.s.a used for 25+yrs
What is the diameter od the steel rod used for this hammers? for education purposes only. Thank you!
I purchased one of the Flat-Pry-bars, there is real pleasure in using quality tools, the only down-side is, you can't let it out of your site, other people enjoy quality tools also.
supreme's got to do a collar with them
Wow its amazing hammer 🔨
Can i ask if i want make work shop for make hammer like this hammer steel eagle
How much will be all cost and i will do it in my home egypt can you answer me????
3:52 that furnace is basically a bath of molten salt plus other additives
vaughan claw are available in Philippines???
What happened to the wooden handle
fyi a drop hammer is not a press, there is a differance, its a hammer, and that is closed die forging for the record, a press is what trims it though.
Just bought another Estwing (I kill one every three years or so). The thing that stopped me buying the Steel Eagle is that lump of wood in the head, I see it as a weakness. No doubt it would be fine for purely indoor work or house bashing but has anyone had one long term for shuttering (formwork to my Yankee cousins)?
Please do a vid on Estwing hammers, I don't use any other brand,...thanks
I know this was a year ago now . But there have been two videos from Estwing now . One on how it's made and another called morning in America , both available on TH-cam . I agree Estwings are just better .
Vaughan products are, at least , on a par with Estwimg. Plus they're both proudly manufacturing their superlative products in the USA.
I used Vaughan prior to purchasing Estwing's kept breaking handles, now all my hammers, ballpean's, sledge's framing and finishing are Estwing.
احسنت
Wait. Vaughan makes hammers and goalie pads?
Edit. Vaughn vs Vaughan
Google their logos. The fonts are almost identical
Do one on Channellock 👍🏼
They are made by Vaughan
26 oz California framing hammer is the ticket
Vaughn tools are the best you can get .
I wish they would actually stamp the wording into the tools, rather than laser etching them. It just holds up better.
They used to.
brand is longer a consideration in buying tools but the country where it's made.
Vaughen wooden shafted claw hammers
What about them? Too lazy to finish the sentence? BE QUIET.
Made in america by american skilled workers.
+TheJfh67 Absolutely!
Made by a good company but not very high skills are needed
TheJfh67 murica fuck yeah
From the companies website: The lightweight DDT 16, with
its patented deep “V” head design, provides faster, greater power at point of
impact with less stress and arm fatigue.
The DDT 16
hammer features a patented titanium head with overstrike guard. It’s exclusive
Double “D”™ Magnetic Nail Holder has the ability to hold both standard and
duplex nails and provides increased reach for one-handed nail starting, while
the Sidewinder™ Nail Puller provides extra leverage for removing nails without
ripping up forms. For fast and easy tear downs and rip outs the Short Stack™
Claws on the DDT 16 hammer are reinforced to provide increased strength for
prying. Heads Made in China. Handles Made in USA. Assembled in USA. So the metal parts are made in China and they send them to the company in USA who presses or in this case screws a wooden handle onto the hammer head? I would consider making the handle about 5% of the overall process, so these are indeed 5% made in the USA and 95% made in China. Or if we just round it off: MADE IN CHINA.
I watched the video because Vaughan is my name.
Some of the Comments made by the Employees sound Compacement to me and Unfortunately that attitude can sink a ship if you aren’t always trying to find ways t improve what you are doing constantly as competition in the free world is always going to try and out do you in one way or another Although Vaughn does make a good hammer i as a retired professional Woodworker preferred using another make for the 20 years i worked as a professional Carpenter and Cabinet Installer and that particular hammer still remains my Go To tool ! Trust me ive tried and owned many different brands over the years Including more expensive ones then theirs or my preferred one Yet Concluded over and over to stick with my choice !
While the Vaughan hammer is a good I prefer the Martinez hammer and any carpenter or post framer who uses one will confirm it
Come to Germany and buy a Picard Hammer if you need a good one. ;)
The leather grip Picard looks great as is the quality but the balance isn't good
The hammer is actually stamped, not forged. I am a carpenter and have used most brand of hammers and I wouldn't put Vaughan hammers anywhere near the top. There is something wrong with the steel in the hammer, it rebounds too much. There hammers are well made but the steel in the heads needs to be made of steel that gives more of a dead blow. The best hammer I have ever used is a Japanese hammer with a white oak handle. The head is 20 oz and all the weight is in the head. It feels like a 16 oz hammer, easy on the elbow but will drive 16 penny mails with two hard blows and an easy blow to finish off.
Mental masturbation. Get a Vaughn and shut up. Stamped? Yeah like a coke can. Idiotic.
@@RRaucina Wonder how many elbow joints have been ruined by steel handles? That is when I switched to the Japanese hammer with a white oak handle. After thirty years as a carpenter my right elbow was shot, but the next twenty years I used the Japanese hammer and my elbow gradually returned to normal.
@@thomaswayneward Dozens+ of Vaughn hammers with wood handles.
@@RRaucina Right, I have quite a few in storage. The steel in the head is wrong and the handles are too stiff and large. I had rather use an American hammer for sure, but the companies that make American tools are hard headed and refuse to change. I have dozens of chalk lines, US made, that I bought as US made ones got a little better over the years, but it wasn't until a Japanese company made a really good one, that I was satisfied. Same thing with pry bars, the US companies have finally copied the Japanese ones, but they aren't made well.
Vaughn straight hamner is better than most expensive hammers if you get the lightest Hammer . . . Vaughn Titanium cheaper than a Stiletto and better quality..
*Thor has joined the chat*
Buy an Estwing.. You can thank me later after a few years of using it..
Yup, twenty years and still pounding like a beast.
Estwing is nice... but really only offer a steel made in USA line. Vaughan offers made in USA steel, wood, and fiberglass.. I prefer Vaughan, but
have nothing but respect and good wishes for Estwing.
Just got a California framer 19oz.. The fit and finish is very poor, compared to my hickory handled Estwing, which was made in Taiwan..
Still, nothing that a few hours work won't put right, to turn it into a superb nail driving machine,, lol...
Just a bit disappointed, that's all, after all the "made in USA" Hype...
(I live in England)...
I have a Wakanda vibranium hammer and it nails everything
Lah gw pake cara murni buat ginian hapir setengah taun baru jadi
I like it... because I am working in pakistan ... I made hammer 🔨
Mmm
im an easting guy
Try Vaughan.... you just may switch brands.
I agree that the quality is very good,but they are TOO expensive down here,can buy a decent Chinese one for 1/10 of the price...still hammers are outdated nowadays its all nail guns or cordless drills on site
I would beg to differ! Hammers are still a very useful tool if you know what you are trying to do. If I need to get something done fast, yes a nail gun would be better. But for reliability, the trusty hammer wins.
And just like that... going out of Business in 2024
Hopefully they turn it around some how. They make some great hammers!
The guy is hitting an anvil with no work piece, cringy
He's checking the bounce back.
@@chapiit08 Throwing that hammer a bit hard from the looks of it
@@chapiit08 that's not how you check a hammers bounce. Jesus Thats terrible to both the anvil and hammer
@@tophatbandit580 I would have to watch the video again, lol!
L
NO. Too fast & too short.
MAGA Go USA
Unfortunately Vaughan filed for bankruptcy spring of 2024. Marshall Town tools bought Vaughan several months later. The Vaughan factory will continue to manufacture tools for Marshall Town. It’s very sad to see a historically important generational family owned business close it’s doors.
What's a woman gonna do with a hammer???
collect your life insurance
thats what difference between good craftman ship and chinese junk
Ok, but no puns? How it's Made would've done a better video.
