The way I see it is the push has already been there for a long time for hybrid alu and titanium hammers that are lite and have hard faces forge welded on or inserted pressed in.. They just have not been able to keep up with the demand for higher quality tools. The carpenters hammer debacle with titanium is just the beggening.
I'm fixing to buy myself a new framing hammer and looking into if the titanium hammer is worth it. Wouldn't mind spending the money if it has an advantage over a regular hammer. I just wonder if you have to swing it a lot harder to sink nails is my only hold back
@whocares4464 truth be told I felt like I had to swing more versus harder. I used the same blow as I use with my steel hammer and it didn't sink the nail as far. Hope that helps
Begrudgingly ordered myself up a couple pricier hammers the other day. Company out of the uk. Kinetic customs. Steel heads with aluminum handles. Its a bit more than just trying to be cool for me though. Elbow has been bugging me off and on for a few years, and its more on than off anymore. Im a remodeler, so really im driving mostly screws, but i put in the swings during demo without a doubt. But i did go for custom colors so the whole trying to look cool thing is definitely still a thing with it. Haven't been on youtube as a viewer in a bit, so figured id stop by. Good luck with the upcoming projects.
While you can do it, obviously, you're not technically supposed to strike galvanized with a titanium face. One of the big reaseons why the new ti-bone has a steel face
Why? Like you mentioned there was a time where tech simply wasn't there and then a time where it wasn't affordable enough to be an option. The big push is now coming from people who want it because they can (they have the financial means to go nuts and/or are led to believe this is the new thing since sliced bread) but don't forget the deluge of companies out there that make stuff simply to make money. Why do you think there is now such a big influx of chinese-made machines and tools on the woodworking market? They want a piece of the pie.

Thank you! After swinging it, i can see why its attractive to those with alot of miles in their elbows.
I enjoy this channel too brother

It looks like it could be a great meat tenderizer.
