Got the new one today Kieth- I think alot of thought went into the design. I told Stiletto they should sandwich the titanium handle with hickory instead of using the rubber handle which would hang up in the belt loop.

After I reread my last post on the new hammer, I just knew that was going to make you want one that much more. You figured I was talking it down to hide it for myself.
So, what do you think? Did you take it out and deflower it on some spikes? I agree about that handle, that bulge at the bottom hangs up on my leather loop(Occidental framers) and that sicky rubber handle doesn't want to slide down in nice and smooth either.
Now to the more important situation. In this universe, nails and screws are diametrically opposed. They have been in competition against each other since the invention of the screw, and many a screw has been nailed into position by a hammer.
So WHY in the name of all that is Holy did you hang the most holy and celebrated hammer on the wall with SCREWS? Are you trying to dislodge the Earth from it's axis and send it spinning into the great darkness to be eaten by a black hole? Please, remove those screws, hand it on nails ,driven with respect, and profusely apologize to the hammer gods for this most hanious faux pas.
Kieth-LOL- The hammers hang on stainless screws because these hammers cannot strike a nail, they are too nice to get all buggered up, so the hammer gods made an exception in my case.
So you are actually bangin on things with your new hammer. How do you like swingin that thing all day?
You must be quite the fashion statement on the jobsite- Occidental bags,Stiletto hammer,Yer da man. Bob
