I appreciate your thought pattern but; the magnet is a gimmick, magnets lose power from every jolt; the fin below the claw gets caught when trying to remove hammer from holster and pulls out of your hand; and I'm not a fan of a moving part on a hammer. I used the Estwing 28 oz framer for 20 plus years and just recently switched to the Stiletto TBII 15 (magnet is gone). After the right hand Carpal Tunnel surgery and left needing it also... Good luck with your inventions.
Ey man.... you Forgot about the Main Hammer! The Heavyweight CHAMP my hammer the STILETTO! Look into it , a bit pricey ($250) but let em tell you ... its THE HAMMER!
You must find someone that is willing to create a prototype to do a practical test, really your at that point. The leverage extention must stay in place until called upon for use. Cudos to your approach to design and opening up your design to your piers, excellent!
I'm very leery of buying a hammer without a wood handle due to safety concerns. Rubber handles can slide off [poorly designed] hammers before you realize and can cause injury.
Moving parts and hammers don't work. Just look at the Ti hammers with steel faces that need locktite to keep them on. It will work it's way loose at the joints. Besides, there's a far easier way to pull out a nail with leverage than having another moving part on a hammer...stick something under the head of the hammer to raise it. I'd love to see that thing in the hands of a tradesman. It looks like an Estwing copy with alterations.
Give a couple hundred out (one to me) and see how people like them. Maybe we will miss a flaw when we actually get one ion our hands. Be cool if the extension could lock so that you could use it to pound a nail in.
LOL...Estwing. What a joke. This video must have been made long before the Stiletto came out. And nobody takes their hammer out like that, especially when you're up in the trusses. This guy's not a real framer.
I'm not sure you can call this your invention, as your video is essentially combining features (some patented features - eg. Hammer tooth) of other hammers into one hammer. The only thing that I would say is new would be the idea of an extended arm for pulling nails...and I'm not sure that is a good idea.
Also, you don't speak about weight of your hammer design. With an all steel hammer, you will be have a heavier hammer than the Stiletto or Dewalt Mig hammers. Lighter = less fatigue.
ok im an Australian carpenter from nsw im 26 been working in the building industry since i was 15 NOW how weak useless and stupid do you have to be to be worrying about what kind of a hammer you need to make your job easier seriously its a HAMMER the time you spend looking for "the perfect hammer" is time lost making money get some muscle and use a regular hammer
If i ever saw somebody use the leverage bar i'd seriously start laughing and so would my workmates.
If you don't have the strength to pull out a nail with the leverage a hammer already produces i'd consider doing something else, such as cooking or being a failed entrepreneur like you.
No, no, no, no....best framers are made by Douglas Tools. Get a Douglas framer and a Hitachi framing nailer your all set. 22 years as a professional carpenter has taught me that basic wood handled hammer is the best. of course this is just my opinion
@BrokenRRT Because of the closed loop you end up with less vibration. If it were designed like a tuning fork (open loop) then you'd have more vibration.
@MrMeanderthal You clearly did not watch to the end of the video to see my design. Please do and then get back to me with your comments if you wish. Thanks.
your proposed design will add to much weight for a basic tool and any apprentice carpenters wrists will be fucked in his first year using it. crowbar or jimmy will do the trick
have you ever used a hammer? I would break that thing on the first day on the job site. The leverage bar is pointless. Aside from wasting the time to extend it extend that monstrosity, there is no way it would not break if the nail was dug in deep enough to actually need that much leverage. tRY A 90 degree cats paw or the side puller on the stiletto tribone. or if you need that much leverage but a damn chunk of 2x4 under the head. This hammer does not look safe or OSHA approved.
Most framers would not buy a hammer with a pivoting handle- it's just another thing that can break. What Estwing has the market cornered on is sharp claws, both at the ends and in between the claws. This allows for digging out a nail without getting a cat's paw, and "rolling" it out rather than prying it out. I encourage you to check out fine homebuilding article on "pulling stubborn nails"
Also, the joist tooth is cool, but a pain to get out of a leather or steel hammer loop
@keater07 Just wondering if you ever got the chance to work on an everyday basis with a Titanium Death stick? it used to be made by Dead On. My STUPID RETARDED brother lost it one day. The Stiletto is the best hammer now but if you ever worked with the Titanium Death stick you might change your mind about Stiletto. Dead On makes a Titanium hammer now and they say it is "the best framing hammer ever" but it is a good hammer to hang on the wall but garbage in the field. this guy is a retard too...
i was about to call it a joke until i saw it. looks sick! i wouldnt trade my stiletto for it but if it was like the fat max "extreme" edition hammer and marketed that way it would sell like hot cakes me thinks.... make it titanium and then i'd buy it
only a pussy would bring a hammer with a 4ft extendable handle on to a job site. i'd bet that hammer would break at the shaft extention point. if you want more leverage just put a 2x4 block under the head of a hammer when pulling stuck nails. i swing a stiletto which is the best hammer i've ever held.
Your hammer makes for a pinch point on the shaft or handle. Not a good design...I enjoy a good hammer because it doesnt pinch my hand...not some shit on the handle. The head is very nice. handle is great with curve and the extended arm is JUNK.

Other than a slight decrease in radius under the hammer head its a beautiful thing.

While the concept is seemingly a good idea the moving part would probably cause a lot of pinching, that quiet frankly I already have enough of.

@concrete5 ,I dont like the idea of that leverage loose partt all.Loose parts tend to break down first and easy.And many times they are annoying too.
A hammer sould be one piece tough construction.Not all these gadgets.I like the all steel handle covered with tough rubber.
Leave the gadgets for cars an Ipods etc.

Are you sure that a split handle will be "vibration reducing"? Split in any handle usually gives off more vibration.

how many of the special stuff you have taken from the likes of Estwing and Stanly are a patent on them?
but I would stick with the Estwing I love them they are perfect, I am twice as fast with an Estwing then any other hammer
