So I've been framing for over 20 years and have tried many hammers. I've always disliked titanium hammers because there was nothing behind them, you couldn't move a wall or hammer a steel pole. It's not perfect yet, but they're getting a lot closer. Still nothing like a good Cali. The 26-ounce shaft drives nails and you won't feel the recoil in your elbow like you would with a steel hammer.

You don't have to guess where you'll end up hitting the nail, probably for the added control of being so light. Also, nails tend to only pop out when bent. Don't ask me why I drive bent nails. It's rough 4) Power…
