Product Description
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.Dalluge DDT16P 16 Ounce DDTP Titanium Hammer Review
I purchased this hammer from Amazon and their response was first rate. I had several email conversations with a service rep at Dalluge and was instructed not to use punches, drifts or cat's claw with this product. Fair enough! When I received the hammer it works as advertised and relieves elbow strain considerably. I really like the side nail puller and the 1" longer handle compared to my 25 yr. old 22 oz Estwing, aids in pulling 3-1/2" ardox.However, there are some concerns. There is really excessive chamfering (try 3/16"!) on the hammer face and it is difficult to impossible, to angle the last blow and countersink nail heads. The head could benefit from less convex curvature in my opinion too. Also, the handle dried up in a few weeks and became loose sideways such that I had to insert some cardboard on the job to tighten the head on the handle. The handle is an excellent choice of edge grained hickory, set in the correct direction. Good work! When I emailed service at Dalluge (Debbie at Vaughan Manufacturing) I received no response back from her. This is not really very smart, as it demonstrates poor customer support. I did take the time and sent images of my 22oz Estwing hammer head and my 16oz Stanley hammer from the early 1970's.
All in all it's a great device with these service and manufacturing caveats.
Yes, I can regrind the head myself and use 24hr. epoxy on the handle; but should anyone have to on a $149 CDN hammer?
