I saw that today looks good but not sure how it will hold after abuse

I’m sure that I would be misplacing parts

Except for breaking wooden handles, I’ve never worn out a hammer before it disappeared.

Im curious if the fasteneres would loosen up during use? That would be a funny story for the cops “well I was framing up a new kitchen wall for my wife’s reno and she was yelling at me and the hammer head loosened up and flew off and hit her in the face….thats why she has a black eye”… 🙂

Good idea but too many points of failure.

$150.00 for a hammer with a bunch of parts and I thought $200.00 was bad for a Stiletto hammer. Maybe it’s me but I don’t see guys swing hammers all day any more most framing crews are using nail guns.

The grooves on a milled face hammer flatten out pretty quickly. That’s the ONLY real benefit I see. You could carry both milled and smooth heads with a lot less weight and bulk than 2 hammers, but I don’t see that being much of an issue.
