Darn it Erik, this channel was suppose to allow Jamie to talk without you cutting him off. Big brothers never quit bossing the younger one around. Great content, thanks.

Erik. You’re doing it again, stop cutting Jaime off damn it ;)

Love you to death Erik but LET JAMIE TALK! I wanna hear jamie and your opinions and veiws but from my understanding this channel is to hear Jamie in long rants no matter how off track he gets :) thanks for all of the amazing videos and tips over the years from all of you guys! Yall are stupid smart

I enjoy listening Jamie's explanations.. let the man speak!

Why isn’t the smooth faced hammers called pancake faced if the gridded ones are called waffle faced

Omg Erik let Jamie talk.

im an older brother too so i understand talking over my younger brother :) #freedomforJaimie .

Martinez! Add one of those to the collection. He's the guy who designed Stilleto and went out on his own.

Finally!! Jamie talking forever about hammers im in heaven!!

I’ve been a carpenter for many years and have never put 18 minutes thought into hammers before. Thanks Jamie.

I wish they'd start uploading to this channel again.

I'm a newbie home reno DIYer. Please please do a video on nails and screws. There are just too many different kinds out there. I don't know which kind needs to be used for what ...

A very good instructional-video indeed, + quite entertaining as well! Umm.... it's definitely NOT difficult to tell which Brother is the "older-Brother" for sure! Sure glad I watched this, & thanks for sharing with the rest of us, Gentlemen! One type/functional hammer I didn't see in your presentation? Yes, the VERY useful "soild-Brass" hammers of course.

Jamie I so love and appreciate this channel! More than paid back for donating to your gofundme ❤️ As a young carpenter still in my first 3 years your knowledge and attitude are truly a benefit. Can't know how far up I can go quality-wise unless I get to hear from folks like yourself.

I appreciate the knowledge, i really love it. For a generation that is a bit younger, like mines, that just love listening to carpenters or just people in the trades in general who are very passionate about there craft. I love it, thank you jaimie. 🤙🏽

Don't quote me on this, but when i was first learning how to weld, the spring on the slag chipping hammer is a light way of building the surface area of the handle up to help hold it with welding gloves on.

Would love to see more videos of Jamie’s depth of knowledge. Really enjoy the in-depth info

Most framing hammers are also 16" long so you can use them to measure between studs

Awesome video. I love hammer's

Man some quality lunch break content.

really guud show fellaz

We need more content!

Do an episode on glue!!

Oh! When I bought my TBII Stiletto, I immediately destroyed the knuckle hide on my left index finger. The milled face was brand new and I was swinging for the fences on a 20d pole barn spike.

Excellent topic.

i use ball on ball peen hammer to slightly indent drywall of where a nail was for a place to put drywall mud

Love this. Thanks guys 👍🏻

Curved claw is standard 9n England. the only people I know that use straight claw hammers, including me, are people obsessed with tools.

harry the home owner hammer is also a plumber hammer .. hook a pipe to pull it away from the board .. and the framing hammer with the straight claw is liked by roofers for ripping of shingles and if they slip they can hook the claw in the wood of the roof so they don't fall off the roof you can't stab a curved claw in the roof as your slipping ..

Shout-out Dave! I recently hit my thumb with my 22ounce hammer. Not nearly as bad as Dave did I'm sure!

Peening hammer is used to stress relive metal. Spring on chipping hammer is to reduce the felt shock like a rubber handle but won't burn.

If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning, lol Nice collection 👌 Blessings

Jamie likes talking, Erik likes controlling :)

I've seen a lot of electricians use the rip claw style for hammering staples in between studs. That curled claw gives you a little bit more range to swing.

You really nailed it way to hammer home what those are all for

Roofers hammer with the hatchet! Had a buddy fillet his thumb with the waffle end of that putting on ridge cap on a white roof! Had to wash the blood off the roof before we left.

The Perkins are my favorite form of entertainment.

I'm loving this channel 😍😍

That tack hammer may be (or at least reminds me of) a caning hammer which is used when caning a chair seat or back.

Busy day today and just now watching...Love the content and the fun you guys have sharing your experiences & knowledge on this new channel..Keep up the good work !!

"Harry Homeowner" there is also known as a trim hammer. It is lighter in weight to aid in precision and the curved claw is supposed to do less damage to delicate trim work, at least that's the way I heard it.

LET THE MAN SPEAK

Jamie!! We need more of your knowledge!!!

The "claws" straight claw=framing hammer the rounded claw= finish hammer. Rounded claw less damage to finish surface and fits the finish nails better. The Estwing old school was awesome. I forgot about them.

Smashing vid guys!!! When do we get to buy TBKC merch

Be interesting to know about the hand injury

You guys should check out a slate hammer. I haven’t seen you guys do any slate but I think you would appreciate it

Jamie, ERIC, you also forgot a roofing hammer. Off the top my head that’s all I can think of them as your mess there’s probably more

Thanks for the knowledge transfer.

I’m a machinist by trade and I have a Tom Lipton sized hammer problem. Love it! Keep up the great content!

That extra long one you got from your dad is most likely an Estwing "Big Blue" Builder Series Framing Hammer; or at least that's the closest thing to it that they currently make. If the specs on the old one are the same as the current ones it's a 25oz head and 18' overall.

16:11 How many 22 ounce hammers is a 3.5 pound sledge? 3.5 pound is 56 ounces so there's a 2.54 22oz hammers in 3.5lb sledge. Fun fact: 2.54 centimeter is an inch. Greetings from Poland! Let Jamie talks about handplanes (and satisfaction) !

The 3-1/2 pound sledge is 2.54(repeating) 22 oz hammers. I think the tack hammer is a rock hammer(geology?) Stilletto used to make a drywall hammer with a wooden handle that had a magnet at the bottom of the handle. I liked it so much that when the handle broke I removed the magnet and installed it into the new handle. I like hammers too. Also, you left out the most important hammer of all....the MC Hammer😄

In my truck: Sledge Mini sledge Framing hammer (estwing 22 oz) Stiletto both wood and metal handle Rubber mallet Dead blow Hatchet Sometimes an axe always a pulaksi

U the man👍

No wonder those hammer framers can 2 hit drive framing nails

Your collection is as big as my.

Curve claw is called a clawhammer where the straight claw is called a rip claw

“You can’t say shaft” - Jason (probably)

And you forgot the framers/riggers axe maybe you can get another

What noise does a pulled nail make? You can't say that here in England...

It is pronounced Estwing, and not Eastwing. This a huge debate among some of us years ago, so we called the company to find out!

Dave 'Ralph' Nelson

I started carving patterns in all my hammers because I got tired of slipping and hitting myself in the shin

You really took a swing and hit the nail on the head! Great way to hammer the point home.

FYI the shaw shank hammer or tack hammer is a sheet metal hammer. I was looking for the difference between setting hammer and riviting hammer within sheet metal. I believe the one you had was a riviting hammer because it's smaller and like you said can get in tighter places. Great video though 👌 👏 👍

I was hoping to see an old school framing hatchet!

Odds I get that old broken handled stiletto?

Ruger firearms. They used to have a titanium manufacturing plant in the USA for their guns and I guess Stiletto used them to make the original titanium hammer heads. I was lucky enough to find a vintage one in great condition and put a 19" dalluge wood handle on it. It's pretty much my favorite hammer but I still use a TB3 on the daily. After swinging a Stiletto for what must be close to a decade I can't seem to adjust to others that I'm sure are still great like the M1 or Arlos Douglas!

Leave it to Jamie to make an 18-minute video about hammers.

Had to laugh when you showed us the hammer you always carry, the one with the worn-smooth waffle face. I thought they wore smooth from using a cat's paw to remove nails, i.e. remove bent nails or disassemble a mistake. That's how mine wore out.

You also forgot about a shingling hammer!

Nail hammers should not be used to drive rebar or other metal work.My .02 cents worth.

The drywall hammer, is that the same as the roofers ax hammer? A hatchet on one end and a hammer face on the other? And I believe the shawshank hammer is a rock hammer.

Keep that stilleto/ruger hammer head, they are relatively rare now!

Well, my name is Harry and I think I actually have the exact hammer in my shed 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

As a master Carpenter I can guarantee you from experience that a curved clawhammer will grab smaller nails even brad nails much easier than a straight claw hammer! 🔨.... With that said I must admit that I prefer a straight clawed estwing or even the new dynamic DeWalt hammers which are my favorite so far! As they absorb the shock like nothing else I've used and they are very light yet they swing and hit like a much heavier Hammer!!! Their balance and shape is the best in the business they just got it right and they're not the most expensive by any means!!! I'm sure many people will disagree or not believe me about the DeWalt hammers but I have used three different ones and they have shocked me with their excellent design the newer design is the best that I've used and I've had a lot of hammers the original East wings are still my old favorite but the new dewalt's are great the DeWalt generation right before the new ones was lacking in a lot of design aspects but they sure did fix it as of 2023!!!

5.8 22 ounce hammers equals 1 8lb sledge

You also didnt have a jack hammer on your table.

@Andrew Camarada doesn't play to the video length algorithm

Tried to explain to the wife why I watched about twenty minutes of guys talking about hammers. I thought I nailed my explanation, but it clearly didn't drive home.

I hit my thumb once on a jobsite and just about barfed. Made me lightheaded. I was driving some framing nails on a perpendicular interior wall into an exterior wall. I had my hand a good 18-24” above the nail I was nailing supporting myself while I was driving some nails around knee level… my hammer caught the end of a pex pipe midswing that was coming out of the slab and it bounced my hammed towards my thumb, hitting it. OUCH. My thumbnail came loose from the nailbed (yuck…). Blood everywhere. Immediately dunked my hand into the cooler full of ice. Took a break for a while to keep from passing out. It was a hot humid July summer day in GA. Got back to work after about an hour break, but definitely felt pretty queezy and almost yaked. My thumbnail never grew back right, still looks goofy 15-16 years later.

You also missed a hatchet ( axe and hammer together)

16 ounces in 1 pound

If you haven't lost a fingernail using a hammer, you haven't used a hammer. I've never lost my lunch though... that's a new one to me!

thousands of dollars in tools and pennies worth of tool knowledge.

Hey why dont you feature this channel on the main channel i didn't know until you promote it on a video

You forgot the air hammers. And the electric hammers. And the powder actuated hammers.

Your going to do a thing on hammers you'd ought to know what hammers about

I'm disappointed, Jamie. There was not one MC Hammer reference in this entire video about hammers. No mention of "Pumps and a Bump", "We're All in the Same Gang", "Don't Stop", "Break'em Off Somethin' Proper", "This Is The Way We Roll", "Bustin' Loose", or "Hammer Music". All would have been appropriate. You didn't even say "Hammer Time" from "U Can't Touch This". You passed up some golden opportunities my man...

Well, I think that a pound is 16oz, so the sledge hammer is 3,5 times the normal hammer 🙂

I have an Estwing like your dads....

🤓😈💪🏽👊🏽

You forgot the air hammer or Jack hammer

I'm here!

Dude I also have my dad's old Estwing. It's not that very unique one. Just a real big Estwing.

That is tinner hammer

All three y'all are forgetting thee one and almost bestest hammer out there,what about Thor's hammer? Perkins you're employment has been terminated.

What, no Martinez all time best hammer? Boo. Hammers are to men what shoes are to women, apparently.

Do you guys really build houses. Seems to me that you are busier doing KZfaq than construction. Also, I notice you brothers are pretty cavalier about your work schedules while on the job. Whatever it takes. My guess is that you don't bring jobs in on time, or budget.
