From the Manufacturer
For dead-center accuracy and pure striking power, Dalluge decking and framing hammers are in a class by themselves. Designed by a professional carpenter for professional carpenters, Dalluge hits the word "balance" right on the nose, with a head-to-handle weight ratio so precise, you'll swear you're swinging a much lighter hammer. The result is surer, deeper, more powerful nail driving, with less strain on the arm and shoulder.

Customer Reviews

Outstanding...
I have been a framing contractor for 19 years, always in search of the "perfect hammer". This Dalluge titanium hammer is currently the best one on the market. With this hammer you get the best of everything at a great price. I don't care what people say, wood handles are still the best, they are light, strong, easily replaceable and about as anti vibration as you can get. The problem has always been the weak connection between the hammer head and the handle. This problem is solved with the Douglas Head to Handle Interface Design.....The best/strongest connection on the planet. Combine the Douglas designed wood handle and head with lightweight Titanium and you have a winner. Items like these help keep the weight down on your tool belt without sacrificing anything.
Other absolutely "must have" features on this hammer include: Side Nail Puller, Magnetic Nail Set, Corrosion Proof, Straight Claw Design, Milled Face (For Framing) & Straight Handle.
This hammer is a great investment for your tool belt as well as your back. I am using this hammer with great sucess, it is definitely a keeper.

GREAT!!!
I own a couple of titanium hammers, but this one is by far my favorite. It drives nails without a problem. The design is licensed from Douglas hammers. If you have ever used a Douglas hammer, the you know what I'm talking about. I still use my 20oz Douglas hammer, but now this is what I grab first. The Dalluge is 4oz less in weight, but drives the nails just as good. You get the weight benifit of titanium combined with the perfect design of a Douglas hammer. However, I still don't know how well titanium holds up over time (compared to steel), so I always keep my Douglas with me.

Great tool
I am a carpenter for the studio industry. Several of my co-workers have this hammer. They all payed much more than I did. I really like this hammer. Great balance and oh so light. Will soon purchase the smooth faced version.
