It cost about $5 bucks. How does it compare to professional grade hammers? Which hammer is the best?

This is what my father-in-law always says, and I used to agree until I burned up my Menards $20 random orbital sander. It took a couple years. I replaced it with a Makita and instantly regretted using the cheap one for so many hours. The Makita was over twice as fast, and the vibration wasn't even comparable. The idea of buying cheap I still support, but sometimes just buy something decent to begin with.

Regarding 0:19, the Great Neck Saw M8C Wood Claw Hammer is actually a light duty hammer since its weight is only 8 ounces. Its construction consists of a drop forged steel hammer head fixed onto a hardwood handle. An eight ounce hammer is suitable for small nails. On the other hand, a 16 ounce hammer is considered to be a medium duty hammer. Hammers heavier than 20 ounces are considered to be heavy duty and suitable for efficiently hammering heavy nails but they are not ideally suited for brads or for tacks. Tools should be used for the jobs that they are intended for in order to achieve best results. Merely comparing the prices of tools is not a good indicator as to the suitability of tools for the jobs that they are intended for.

Also, the side nail puller on the Stiletto: The nail has to be driven almost the entire way, only then can you get the right amount of leverage. A co-worker uses it to get nails out of concrete (which normally requires a 'gooseneck' prybar). Once the nail is sticking up any more than say half an inch you lose all the leverage with that side nail puller and would be best off switching to the claw. So in short, the side nail puller works but only in specific situations. But in that situation it allows you to put a ton of force onto the nail, which can be a serious time saver when you don't have a pry-bar handy. PS sorry for spamming the comments ;-)

Since then I’ve spent way more on hammers even though I’m out of the trade.

@@ScottBrownCarpentry Hi, this is the one we've been using for a while. They're branded Würth but look the same as the one on this picture i'm linking below. They seem to be more reliable staying in their sheath than the neon green ones branded Pica, which we used earlier. Switched to Würth because of this reason. I think they're called deep hole markers, but we use them as a general carpenter's pencil. The sharpener sucks though, i just use my razor knife for that - whenever i need the the tip to be really sharp. I always keep two of those in a leg pocket on my work pants. One has the basic gray graphite type of tip, the other a red one. The graphite one, especially, can be wiped fairly easily off of surfaces (at least if used a light hand marking), which comes handy every so often. cdn.eazyauction.de/a8/a894d53623bd48b8eda3e79e0170192fa9d84b8040f884efb600ecc077d92a32109903829dd2c2fc8aec2702596e94a8/img/500x500_3a26341626cead8dd29552ab82a8b4bebd2a3f24.jpeg

A particular hammer will work for a person whose physical and psychological make up fits with that hammer. If you have a hammer that you must use, you learn how to train your body and mind to use it well and properly.

I can see the need to manufacture such cheap and low quality hammers as well. It all depends who buys the tool and what he needs it for. My neighbour has a hammer like that, he uses it a few times a year for little diy jobs around the house. He doesn't need anything fancy. But if you use something daily and make a living out of it, then yeah, best to invest. My problem with titanium hammers- I simply can't get one. I work on big commercial projects where fancy and expensive tools, hand or power tools, often get stolen. Even cheaper stuff gets pinched. This year I had to replace: 2 pairs of tin snips, a makita charger, and 2 hand saws. Also someone needed my jigsaw to cut something without telling me when I went away to get fixings, I found it lying on the ground in a different part of the building site, damaged- the base plate was loose and few screws were missing... And it wasn't even a bad year so far... I'm currently using a 20 oz Dewalt straight claw hammer- quality is alright, and I like the way it feels when I'm swinging, had a bad wrist injury 10 years ago, resulting in surgery and a metal screw permanently fixed into one of the bones, and I noticed that some hammers cause me discomfort, not the dewalt though.

I bought a 16 ounce Estwing when I was 18 in 1978 when I started a job as an electrician helper. The job boss always said he could tell if I was working hard because that hammer would sing a song that no other hammer on the job made since I had the only Estwing. Somewhere along the line I bought a 20 ounce Estwing but I don’t remember exactly when. The point of all this is that I’ve still got both hammers and they’re both still in A plus 1 condition. From my perspective if you don’t lose them they last perpetually forever.

Being a DIYer and not a tradie I go for the "budget for use" method. I have a lot of Ozito and XU1 hand tools because im NOT using them every day. Still got the cordless drill almost 10 years on, and only tool that has broken down was the orbital sander (which was fixed by taking it apart and clearing all the dust that had got past the crappy o ring). If I was using them every day, I'd probably go through a dozen a year meaning I would have spent more than one of the more expensive brands that would have taken the punishment (same reason I buy $250 boots that last me 2-3 years, rather than $50 ones that last me 3 months). Benchtop tools are a different matter though, cheap tools = cheap made = sloppy cutting guides. Last thing I want is a rip fence moving mid cut.

I’ve got that 14oz stiletto mini and the 16oz wooden straight handled stiletto and I find myself going to that one much more than the 14oz, even for finish work. I really don’t like the rubber grip on the mini and when choking up on the hammer, the titanium neck is not comfortable at all, and it’s more than double the price! We’ll see how long they both last...but my 10oz wood handled stiletto has been my trim hammer for almost 10 years and I’ve used it for everything and it’s still going.

When I was a kid I once made the mistake of buying a cheap 16oz claw hammer, only to find the claw was softer than the wire nails I was planting, so the bite was chewed to heck before I'd even pulled a half dozen nails. Buying cheap throw away tools isn't the way to go, but I was young and eager to have a toolkit and the heap of crap I ended up literally throwing away was such a waste of money and also cost me too much time on job sites trying to find work-arounds because e.g. the claw was useless on my hammer, or my DIY grade saw kept binding in the cut because it's plate wasn't taper ground. I'm not saying buy diamond studded or gold plated equipment, but always buy the best you can justify and suits your own budget. Tools you can readily replace if broken/damaged, but won't break the bank if or when that time arrives.

The only tool I have since I started twenty years ago is my ck adjustable spanner. Everything else has been lost, broken, worn-out or stolen. Power tool Wise is a Makita 9inch grinder it's about sixteen years old.

No hammer is worth $300. When I was on the tools, I used an Estwing 24oz curved claw ( English Pattern) with nylon handle and thought that was expensive, but it never failed me and was always suitable for every joinery and construction job.

@@retardedamericans1 Well using any hammer with tennis elbow would give you problems. Same as if you have problems with frozen shoulders which is also common with joiners.

Comparing the first two hammers is like comparing playing angry birds on an iphone vs a jitterbug haha good info, though.

I had an estwing but I didn't really rate it over any other hammer. My Bacho is amazing. Something about the curve in the handle . It's more like a hatchet handle. 18oz just right wait. Pulls missed drywall screws out sweet which is its primary use .

I work in concrete if you’re a new labor I’d say buy a cheap good hammer just to have a hammer instead of asking around for one when you need it. Always best to at least have something rather than nothing.
