I framed for a while in the early oughts and started with a 24oz Vaughn. My first day on the job, was nailing a 20' header out of 2 LVL's for a garage door opening. By the 80th nail I could hardly lift the thing. I ended up with a 21oz Deathstick, then moved on to a 14oz Stiletto. F=MA, and with a lighter head, you can swing faster--smaller M bigger A--and still get that hitting force. It's still my favorite hammer. I have a 15oz-squared head and 12oz-round Douglass hammers, and while I like the little Douglass for some light work, 80% of the time, I'm using the Stiletto. It just feels so good with that axe handle and just can't beat the weight. Glad to see I'm not the only nut with multiple hammers around. My first Deathstick is around, and gets abused doing concrete-rock-excavation work with it's wholly nubbed out tines. I drool over Vaughn's, much like you for the colors and some of their handles just feel so good to swing. I got an old cobbler hammer for leather working I picked up along the way, and a titanium Abbey Tools mallet--albeit for the coolness factor (I have way too many Abbey Tools, if that is a thing, in my bicycle tools collection). Thanks for the vid.

Love that story of how when he was a kid his dad would send him out to the yard with a 2x4, a can of nails, and a hammer to burn off some energy, and that's how his love for collecting hammers began. Good thing his dad didn't have a jackhammer around... LOL, my dad also had that red steel-handled Craftsman hammer at 2:00. Except the rubber handle was coming all apart and became wrapped up mummy-like in black electrical tape. Have to say that I never liked the vibration shock that hammer transmitted to my hand and arm.

I'm a builder here in Southwest Alabama and have the same fondness for the hammer. I kick myself now but I was 26 years old when I started my residential construction business. I immediately subscribed to Fine Home Building magazine when I found one on the shelf at the local Winn Dixie grocery store (yes, this was when the internet was trying to get off the ground (1996). I always liked the straight claw model, and the first hammer I purchased for my work was the Plumb fiberglass handled 22oz. hammer, along with a 16oz. version, found at my local hardware. In the back of the FHB magazine you could find ads from mom & pop operations peddling all sorts of construction tools, and I come across a Bob Hart ad displaying his version of the California framer, the Hart 21 oz, hickory handle framer and fell head over heels for this hammer. I bought 2, the smooth face decker version and the milled face framer. Not too long after these 2 purchases and I got the 16oz Hart Trimmer and this became my go to hammer for all applications (I was usually the saw man and never really pounded too many nails with it, we also used nail guns a lot, so I could get away with using the smaller hammer). Shortly there after, I came across a review of the Douglass Woody and had to have one. I used this hammer exclusively and absolutely adored it....until I broke the handle out of it and never got around to buying a replacement handle. I kick myself because I didn't hang on to any of these great hammers. I have no idea what happened to them after a few moves, more than likely they got tossed. Now i'm 48, and wish I could find those darlings and restore them and enjoy them again. I find Hart hammers on ebay from time to time, but a Douglas is the Big Foot of hammers, you just can't find them anymore. They still make them, but they are $180. Would love to get my hands on an old Douglas, the Bob Hart original California Special framers, and Vaughan's older model California framer, not the blocky looking newer version. Enjoyed your video.

Funny you should say that... I have my great grandfather's Plumb hammer... nothing else feels as good when you are out there all day driving nail after nail into framing as an old wood handled hammer. Spin it, flip it, swing it... always so balanced and comfortable in my hand... my very good friend has fiberglass and graphite... he loves them because he says they won't break... my hammer is probably 80 years old and it has the original handle... with the drips of paint, scuffs and beauty marks aquired from 4 generations of use and countless projects and it never broke... so I don't think I'll worry about its durability. I find it not surprising at all that scout, who has every which kind of hammer imaginable with every gimmick and material composition chooses a simple cheap hammer as his favorite thus proving three things.. A simple classic design is a classic for a reason, more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, and when you like something and it makes you feel comfortable you can't always explain in words why that is you just know.

Also if your family had been in one location for a long time ask the neighbors... older neighborhoods can have neighbors that have lived there for decades and the kids that grew up there might have some knowledge... chances are when people have past that the neighbors may have inherited some of grandpa's old tools and they would probably be happy to give them back to the family.

I'm a little bit of a hammer freak. I have a big box of them and I have a problem getting rid of them. See them is like looking at a time line of my development and career. I'm a 71 year young carpenter that's still going at it. I've seen major changes in hammers. When I first started , serious framers used axes. I under stand the principle but never got into it. It seemed to macho for me. I always liked Estwing, especially their leather handle finish hammers. I have a little fiber glass finish hammer that I used for years and love. When I was real young I got a job as a roofer installing shingles. I had to borrow $14 from my brother to buy a roofing hatchet. Now I see hammers costing hundred dollars. Some are so beautiful that I wouldn't want to use them. The one thing I can't wrap my head around is these light magnesium framing hammers. They must work cause I see a lot of people buying them. 22 oz was always the standard for framing I thought.

Finish Fiskars was a really good brand also, but since the 90s Fiskars has also made stuff of lower quality.

Nice! Your video brought back some memories. I worked construction for about a year in 1954. I had bought a steel shanked hammer. (Why, I don't know ...) The foreman had me lay down the sub-floor deck. In those days, we didn't use plywood sub flooring - we nailed 1"x8" planks laid diagonally across the floor joists with 19d common. When I awoke the next morning, my hand was swolen up to twice its normal size, and was intensely sore beyond description. Fortunately, someone soon stole that hammer - and I got a wooden handled hammer. The old timers on the job said: "Bluegrass hammers and Diston saws ..." that burned itself into my brain, but, strangely, my go-to and favorite16oz claw hammer has been a Plumb.

I buy 20-30 a year with machinist hammers my focus, especially ones that are rare, marked, or unusual. I'm also an amateur blacksmith and that helped to get me started. I re-handle and refurbish a lot of hammers and get them back on the market but I end up keeping WAY too many. I found an Estwing 16 ounce rip hammer the other day at a yard sale that was almost new (paid a dollar, lol) I decided to keep it to replace the one I already had. Well, I rounded up 12 all steel Estwing claw hammers. Turns out they were all different and I didn't have a 16 oz rip hammer yet. So, logic dictates I just keep them all!

You say Titanium is lighter than steel, however a 20 oz titanium hammer is the same weight as a 20 oz steel hammer. What I want to ask as you do a lot of power wire brushing, is it better to get expensive wire brushes or cheap ones? I do not do as much as you and the brushes do not last that long. Is the wire a better quality in expensive brushes or is it the same? How far has your house sunk into the ground with all the weight of the tools especially your nice collection of hammers.

Hi Scoutcrafter. For many years we in South Africa use to import the necessary woods like Hickory for our tool handles but nowadays importing it is so expensive we started using our locally available woods for tool handles... and so ended an era ... Nice vid and thanx for sharing.

Yes, collectors collect things. That's why they're called collectors. Because of the collecting. You seem to not be a collector. The difference, you see, is that he is a collector. So he collects them.

@@RickyHarline Yes, I know. But repeating a word does not explain it. Why is the question. Not just hammers, why collect anything (unless it is a store of value)? I genuinely struggle to understand, especially utilitarian items. Yes, understand the history and utility, but collect examples? As an individual? I understand that it happens, but not why. At least hammers have a use, but used postage stamps?

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop Well it's just really strange that you don't understand collecting. I collect vinyls personally. Absolutely pointless now that spotify is a thing. It's just as silly a thing to collect as hammers. And it makes me really goddamn happy. Why? No clue whatsoever. Dude likes collecting hammers. It makes him happy. That's the end of the story.

Hi Joe! Die grinders are the way to go but requires a good compressor... Hopefully in my new home I will have a soundproof compressor room and plenty of air! That's the key! =) along with 220 or 405V LOL Thanks Joe!

Amazing collection Scout! Thanks for sharing them with us. Loved the red Douglas for sure. I loved my steel 30 0z Estwing framing hammer. After I had bought it, my friend asked me a couple times where my wimpy little hammer was when we went to do a job. So from then on my hammer was always "Wimpy." No idea what ever happened to it, but I miss it!

Some nice hammers you have there I owned and destroyed a few of those did a lot of framing back in the day. I still have is a gen 1 Stiletto Tibone, had one of the first run Stiletto wood handles too but it got stolen off a job one day. I still have one original Hart Californa Framer heads too I have a Hart Californa handle too but it was a replacement handle and the cut to go into the head was not cut in line with the handle so it never got used. This is the hammer that changes it all from here all the others tried to copy it.

I've got a decent hammer collection too (nothing like yours), and I agree about the usefulness and versatility of a little 10 oz. I have a little 10 oz. Stanley with a hickory handle that I inherited from my Grandfather, and it is easily my favorite, and most used (around the house, small projects, etc.) hammer!
