VAUGHAN DALLUGE 14oz Titanium Hammer, Magnetic Nail Holder, Milled Face, 7175, VN07175

Don't let the Vaughan Dalluge 14 ounce weight fool you. This is a lightweight titanium hammer in name only, it's really a heavy hitter in disguise. Like my Vaughan 19-Ounce California Framer and my Vaughan 99 16-Ounce Professional Rip Hammer, the Dalluge is another well-balanced Vaughan hammer and its hatchet style hickory handle is a perfect fit for me. Hickory is a great shock absorber and makes the 'whaaang' effect on my arm non existent. I like the extra large striker with its milled face and the way the magnetic nail holder grips the nail. Honestly, there's nothing not to like about it.Do I think it's worth the price? Well, let me figure this out. One tube of triple strength analgesic balm runs 20 green ones at our local pharmacy and a doctor's appointment for my neck/shoulder adjustment is 40 smackers - and that's if I'm lucky to need just one visit. So far we're at 60 and I have not figured in time lost in getting the job done. Is it worth the price? My Final Answer: You betcha! ~ The Boss

Awesome hammer! Been using Vaughan 19oz framing hammers for years, but now I finally purchased their titanium framer. This sucker is super bad! Feels just like my 19oz, but its considerably lighter. I love it! Scared to use it for demo on remodels, because I don't want to risk snapping the handle, but that's what my 19oz is for now. This thing drives nails with ease!

I’m a framing carpenter and the light weight is easily carried. It has good balance an a solid handle which is important for a wooden handle. I think a wooded hammer is easier on the hands than metal hammer with a rubber grip.

An amazing hammer. The price is the only thing that removes a star. The hammer is easy to swing and hits hard. I will remind anyone who has not used a titanium hammer that they feel much bigger than they weigh. I should have purchased a smaller one.

If I could I would give this hammer 0.5 stars. The hammer lasted about a month tops. Never again buying a titanium hammer. Hammer is just for looks does not last!!!! Don't buy!!!!

Best hammer I’ve ever owned. I also bought a stiletto tbII and I like this hammer way more. Super hammer with it. I’m remodeling my entire house and It’s my go to hammer.

Best hammerOn earth bought it two years ago back when it was made in the USA would not buy it now since it's made in china the newHeads justSay dalluge titanium mine says dally get titanium Made in USA

Great hammer but I returned it since it was just too large for my projects around the house. If you are framing or do heavy construction/carpentry then this is the hammer for you.
