   In Souther California many independent lumberyards and hardware stores have them. Also I have seen them at HomeBase.

   I love mine too.

   *Kevin,I got mine at Dunn Lumber in Bellevue, Wa. Am quite please with it. The design is based on the Tewksbury war hammer of the 14th. century. The nasty spike used to puncture your expensive plate armor like a beer can has been replaced by some nasty claws. I keep mine nice and sharp.Hart has a web page - and a Woodie page. They are local here - in Huntington Beach, CA. Wonder if they have a factory store. I have a number of Hart's besides the woodie.There is also a new woodie. 17 oz and a bit more rocker on the claws. In Orange County, Ca. I have found both woodies at Grinalds' Lumber (spelled wrong for sure), Junior's Tools and (Wonder!) at Home Base in Irvine. Actually, they had a very good line of hammers and a rather full section of Hart hammers.Home Depot is in last place for hammer selection. One would assume that their customer is not about to pay $54 for a hammer - or know the difference.Tried a Vaughan. Not again. I really have better things to do than keep soaking the hammer to keep the head tight.

   * caution, large graphic, 28.8kb users click at your own risk"produced using a special micro-dendritic solidification process""solidification process"? that would be casting, wouldn't it?, I've allways thought drop forging was good enough for me, but still, that's a pretty cool looking hammer. BTY, it's a pretty lame web site, I didn't see any dealer info (but there was an 800 # for "sales")Jay

   The hart is a good hammer but check out the Stiletto TITANIUM model in the latest Duluth catalog. Actually weighs 12 oz. but is supposed to deliver same punch as a 21! Same mass at half the weight theory? Can't help it but I have to have one! Will be the envy of all my bicycle buddies if nothing else. http://www.stilettotools.com/

   *I have seen the adverts for the stiletto titanium deal, and cant help but wonder, does swinging a hammer that is half as heavy, twice as hard, hurt my elbow as much or more, than swinging a hammer that is heavier half as hard ? I do have to admit that the Dalluge sounds cool too. Larry Haun seems to like it. (FHB #113, pg. 122) I ordered the Woody from berlands, last 22 oz in stock. They (Berlands) get a nice plug in the new FHB too, some column on neat tool websites.thanks for the helpkevin

   Kevin, Hart's
   web page is http://www.hart-tool.com. They do sales there too. Also look at Stiletto's new titanium hammer at http://www.stilettotools.com. A 12oz. head that packs a punch like a 22oz. hammer. I think I am going to try one of these.

   *I've got the Stilleto titanium 12oz. I have to hide it from my friends. My 45 year old arms love it. It also has a magnetic nail holder that saves my legs from climbing up that ladder. The shape is very similar to the hart framing 21 oz.The titanium is rather fiberous so i opted for the smooth face .It is incredibly light but you'd never know it the way it puts in nails.

   *Seriously? On 16d sinkers?I have a 55 yr. old elbow, complete with a collection of tennis elbow bands, so I am interested.Wonder what the physics are? Wonder if I can "fly before I buy." Did that on my chainsaw. Bought it from a logger's supply, where they send you out back with a demo saw to make a few cuts in their log yard.

   My experience looking for a Hart 'Woody':
   Couldn't find anyone with one in stock. Agree with the earlier comment about Home depot: for a huge store, they sure have a pathetic selection of hammers, and no Harts at all at the local store here. After checking with the local lumber yards and contractor supply houses (all to no avail) I simply asked the clerk at Eagle hardware if she could 'special order' one for me. She evidently know that it wasn't all that hard, because she just picked up the phone and called Hart and I had my hammer a couple of weeks later. Cool! Sometimes naivate works to your advantage.
   So far, I think it's the coolest looking hammer I've ever seen. Feels real good, but I wish it was just a little bit heavier. It'll take me a while to get get used to NOT having my Estwing in my hand.

   *Got my Stilletto Titanium and it is a gem. Drives a 16d like my 24 oz hart with the same effort, (takes me 2 strokes with both but I used to be able to drive in one in my younger days) Sure is light and is getting alot of oohs and aahs at the job. The nail holder is kind of cool and is something I always thought of as a joke in the past but it actually works.

   I have been looking for a hart woody for a little while now, and have had no luck. I should have bought the first one I found. Anybody know's of a supplier with one on hand, let me know.
