[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 172843, member: 3972"] As a brand new 135# 20 year old apprentice carpenter, my friend told me to get a 28oz Vaughn wood handled framing hammer with a waffle (meat cleaver) milled face. Which I did. My first framing hammer. Looking back I wonder if it was only for his own amusement. After using that beast for a while, I realized that the hammer does NOT make the man. These days, a 16" Craftsman 20oz smooth face rip hammer with a fiberglass handle is my go to. Also a 14" tru-temper 20oz fiberglass rip is a favorite as it's adequate for most and much easier to carry on the tool belt, or in hand. Here at work I carry a 18" Dead-On wood, hatchet handled, TITANIUM framer, that is only 14oz. Huge titanium head, but light. Long handle and light head, gives you a long fast stroke...it's a great hammer too, but pricey. But then, it IS my #1 tool. What's a couple hundred bucks when you're buying a new friend.
