lighter and faster hammer hits just as hard as a slower and heavier one. G=v*m, G=force with which the hammer hits , m=mass, v=velocity.. The smaller the mass, the bigger velocity needed for the same force.. This secondary school physics proves that a titanium hammer is more of a marketing trick than anything else

i agree. the whole point of using a dense metal is so gravity does more work for you, and the hammer has more momentum when it hits the nail. o well, im sure lots of people buy it

[graphixkillzzz]

they need real carpenters to show how it works. the first problem is the body part, it shouldn't be the elbow since the wrist is all the movement needed. weight doesn't drive the nail, speed does, for those of you that were wondering how lighter can still drive as well as a heavy hammer. anyway, waste of money, if you swing the hammer right you one shot the nail, thus less swinging, and you would use the right body part, the wrist.

Titanium would make more sense in wrenches / ratchets. If you use a 1 lbs, 5 lbs, or 10lbs hammer you can feel what mass does.

I still think for $200 you're better off getting a nail gun!!!! It is faster and easier to use.

@kayanathera if you took the same logic and applied it to everything else, everything would be cheap as hell. ex. iphones should cost less than 10 dollars because it's basically just bits of plastic, metal, and silicone.

@tibchy144 I'm guessing it has more to do with ergonomics and the distribution of force upon the arm/body rather than how hard it actually hits the nail/target.

[TorqueRider2000]

just use a nail gun?

[spinlizard1]

Surely a light titanium hammer will require more blows to drive a nail compared to a heavier steel hammer, and therefore more wear on the elbow joint (which was given as the reason for developing it)?

@kayanathera Its not the cost of the material, its the difficulty in working an extremely hard metal.

[kayanathera]

One kilo of titanium is around 10 dollars.200 dollars for that is a fucking rip off

@gricka31 You still have to lift the hammer up...

Ultimately no matter how you hit a hammer the amount of work required is the same to drive that nail in.

Also pneumatic framing nailers are the way to go.

I guess you can't hold Americans attention on shows like this unless the host is a hollering gallootin buffoon.
