Vaughan Ti-Tech Titanium Hammer

In 1869 Alexander Vaughan began making hammers, the family tradition of producing high quality tools is carried on today by Howard Vaughan, culminating in this latest offering and one which Alexander would have been proud of, the Ti-Tech Titanium hammer. Why Titanium? Titanium is lighter than steel and is used in many situations where exceptional toughness and low weight is required. Titanium is not the easiest material to forge and Vaughan spent a long time before cracking the problem. Titanium can be cast but that method results in a very poor hammer head, possibly with hidden voids. So these are about the toughest hammers made, a 450g(16oz) Titanium hammer is the equivalent of a 800g(28oz) conventional steel hammer and will drive a nail in even faster. The Ti-Tech hammer is fitted with a removable steel striking face and features an anti-vibration block to absorb the shock of the blow, and magnetic starter slot. All in all this hammer is made for the professional worker who will appreciate a tool made to help do the job quicker, easier and with far less fatigue. Overall length 450mm(18"), weight 450g, Hickory handle.
