[@thelegionoftools]

Thanks for sharing your hammer experience here in this video. I am running a New Tool Channel after Retirement as a Deputy Sheriff. Doing what I want to do now. Thanks again! B9USA Sr.

[@darkinertia2]

my favorite blues guitarist is stevie ray vog-hand

[@themavericks9409]

Lmao

[@jeffalan6339]

I have a Stanley I beam broke a claw was replaced under warranty, is nice, after obtain a ESTWING can feel a quality difference, upon driving a post in the ground tried a 32oz Ball peen it mangled in few hits, switched to my ESTWING a 22oz framing hammer it did less damage to the small garden post drove the post in further per strike, it would swing faster hit harder with less damage.

[@Atari-stfm]

Is vaug-han the chinese copy???

[@bluemantom77]

No made in the USA

[@jaynaforsgren4755]

No Vaughn and estwing are both great USA brands

[@donho3617]

That was a joke because how Catus pronounces the name.

[@mikefennema5561]

With the Estwings ensure the one you purchase has the face milled squarely. Place the face against a straight edge and verify the handle is parallel to the edge.

[@Jnes01]

That is a nice VAUG-HAN hammer. I also like the STAH-NLAY hammer and the HOO-SKEYE too.

[@chadortman8843]

I want/ need the black/ red husky hammer at 13:15. Lost mine and want to replace it. My favorite hammer!

[@pelchecksprojects3562]

I came for the same hammer hoping to see a model number on it

[@ricker76er]

I didn't see an electrician's hammer. Aside from electricians hitting everything with their Lineman's pliers, electrician's hammers have a longer nose to reach into junction boxes and such. thanks for all the videos.

[@guitar5436]

Vaughn is top of the line

[@CatusMaximus]

They are indeed pretty nice tools although I tend to lean towards estwing as far as ultimate long-term durability

[@nsatoday]

I got a Vaughan that’s patterned off the Douglas style hammers. That’s my only wood handled hammer. I use estwings otherwise. I have the 16oz claw, 22oz framer with straight claw, and the ultra which I think is a 19oz. I’ve been toying with the Idea of buying an MTC M-1 titanium but i just don’t drive enough nails with a hammer to justify the cost to myself. If I’m running a lot of nails I just use a nail gun.

[@TheSavagederek]

Estwing are just that bit better in my own opinion . I'm using my dad's 20oz that's 50 years old . I am like he was a Carpenter/joiner and it is used every day and still works perfectly .

[@davidgreen5938]

Thanks for the experienced info. FYI, not to be too critical, Vaughn is pronounced "Von".

[@animal79thecat]

Why do you need all these hammers?

[@bluemantom77]

stiletto and Martinez Hammers are top of the line you might have to take out a mortgage to buy one

[@nameremoved4010]

I've recently purchase hammers with larger heads (not heavier). Some years ago, I was doing a bit of construction and the elbow was giving me trouble so I had some control issues such that a larger head would have really helped, IMO. The elbow is good now though I am not pounding nails. That said I use large rubber mallet these days ;-)

[@megaman2016]

20 or 24 oz for a diy/home owner?

[@stevendouglas3860]

Vaughan Estwing Or any old hammer in the garage.

[@jcdelacruz6040]

Why my stanley hammer has a ring sound? Some say it is a sign of a good hammer..idont know🤔

[@michaeldowling5193]

Which handle is the lightest, hickory,fibreglass, steel, Titanium, or aluminium?

[@gregorsamsa1364]

Aluminum

[@zandvlootje]

Is the leverage coefficient of a lighter titanium hammer relevant to the initial force required for the swing to drive the nail in?

[@CatusMaximus]

Titanium hammers really do work pretty well when driving lighter object such as framing Nails velocity means more than Mass when driving lighter objects however if you're driving large Nails like large spikes then you need more momentum and a heavier steel hammer. Also I've heard if you're someone who is very good at hammering and can drive nails in one or two hits that the titanium ones don't work quite as well as a long handle steel hammer.

[@Thuan78]

Oh,đẹp tuyệt vời những cái búa hãng nổi tiếng,tôi cũng là fan đam mê nhưng không bao giờ có thể chạm tới được những cái búa đẹp thế này đâu,cảm ơn bạn đã có những clip hay và ý nghĩ đối với những người đam mê thể loại này như tôi

[@blanchy]

I use hammers for the ripping and the tearing.

[@electroluxlad]

When I was younger I swung a 28.estwing but I prefer a 22 or a 20

[@Lacasse77]

Catus is a true hammer aficionado. Well done...very informative. Thanks!

[@jaredmpp7633]

Good video. Extremely informative and well explained.

[@CatusMaximus]

Thank you so much

[@markherrera829]

Another great video. Have a great week.

[@CatusMaximus]

Thank you and you as well

[@silverback4434]

I have a 22 oz estwing smooth face . Men im so impressed by this hammer . Im sure it could be a good weapon against zombies hehehe , this hammer look indestructible !

[@CatusMaximus]

The weight and balance of this hammer is very effective for driving nails.

[@bricofast]

Thanks for the video 👌 you are the best 👍👍👍

[@CatusMaximus]

Thank you. 🔨

[@bricofast]

@@CatusMaximus sory my inglis, I'M portuguese

[@Asterics.]

which one is Rose 120 Eggs Claw hammer?

[@juliosmoten8204]

Precios los martillo

[@dyer2cycle]

..for general use, I prefer a traditional claw hammer to a straight-claw hammer, more leverage for pulling nails, less damage to your head/body in the event of a miss-lick drawing back (ever happen to anyone else?)....

[@CatusMaximus]

Yes that could hurt

[@trankt54155]

Another great video. Don't be surprised if you discover that your true name is Canis Minimus.

[@kurtmits]

Wrap your wood hammers about 3in under the head itll protect against miss strikes and looks cool 😎

[@CatusMaximus]

That's a good idea

[@byteblock1667]

I use a ball-peen all day everyday at my welding job. Been using an estwing for a few years now and I use a Vaughan at home in my shop. The Vaughan is a better hammer. The forging and grinding to shape the head is just done better.

[@sean3278]

Isopropyl alcohol will take the name right off the Stanley hammer

[@dyer2cycle]

...for durability, I prefer Estwing hands down...for balance and feel, I am a Vaughn steel or fiberglass handle guy...I like the feel of wooden handles, but they frustrate the heck out of me, break more easily if you yank on them pulling out stubborn nails, but mostly because they get loose on the handles due to the wood contracting and expanding.....don't really care for any of the weird-looking "innovative" high-tech claw hammers.....

[@CatusMaximus]

I've had a mixed experience I have the large FatMax extended framing handle hammer and it is actually stayed pretty tight

[@nsatoday]

Try a Douglas hammer or clones there of.

[@tacsystems5621]

Thanks for hammering the point home.

[@CatusMaximus]

Indeed

[@TheLexiconDevils]

Eastwing leather handle 👍

[@thelegionoftools]

I have 2 on order! I can’t wait. I may do a quick review on them when they come in. Have to admit I am a bit excited to get them. 😎🤠👍🇺🇸. B9USA Sr.

[@corbensimpson2533]

Nailed it

[@johnjohnnyy2917]

Your the man

[@jc2604]

LOL it's "Von"

[@RandyLunn]

You should restore the waffle face. This could be a good video.

[@Thuan78]

Tuyệt đẹp 👍

[@kodoan411]

Honestly, the first time I've ever heard anyone call it a "vawg han". ....pronounced vawn...like yawn...

[@bluemantom77]

I have a few hammers

[@lunavs.thewilds4378]

[@tonyj8225]

Dude, you dissed Vaughan and can't even pronounce the name correctly? Get real. Vaughan makes some of the best hammers in the world. Based on the appearance it doesn't look like u do too much carpentry.

[@wisepinoy9261]

stanleys junk!
