mike_dave Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Does anyone have a dewalt high velocity hammer?? I've been wanting to buy one for ages but just have had a hard time justifying it.. Curious of everyone's thoughts on them and if you've had any experience with them.. They go on sale semi regularly around here so if I ever snag one It'll be on sale. Stilettos are just a little too pricey for me cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way about them and the stilettos. One of the guys that use to help me bought the plain Jain wood handle stiletto hammer. It was nice to use. But not a hundred dollars nice. I would like a honest oppion on the dewalt too if any one has it. Millerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jswoger1986 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 My buddy had one I used to make fun of him and call it his purse because it felt very girly. After about 6 months of use one side of the claw end bent up about a 1/2". I can't suggest it. I've gotten way more out out my $8 plumb brand hammer than he got out of a hammer he paid like $40 for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have it and love it. I mean it's a hammer...but I've held dozens of them (except Stiletto, too much money for a banging object of any sort) and this has my favorite grip of any of them. I don't pound nails all day so I can't speak for 6 hours of vibration effects, but as a every day demo/alignment/it's already broke so screw it tool, it's my favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noops Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have one too. I got it after my Husky head started wobbling more than I was comfy with. I have the flat face 12. It hits hard. I've done a lot with it both building and destruction and it still works well. I'm not sure how you'd bend a claw but I guess anything is possible. Dewalt has several of these that look similar but feel very different. I really like mine. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 If you want a light hammer you can get more power out of if need be those are great. Titanium, high velocity, mig welded... it's all irrelevant marketing; it's a just a longer handle on light hammer. It's still effective, but nothing magical. That said, if you really need a heavy hammer, those can't compete with a real 28oz hammer. I personally like the stanley/bostitch/dewalt hammers for the price because the vibration is pretty minimal for a cheap metal handle hammer.

Today I even hung off mine trying to remove several spiral nails (220lbs of me + tools and crap) and had nothing happen aside from embarrassment as I was unable to remove a couple nails with my hammer. The only thing I'd like is a side pry thing but I've noticed that the side to side stability when prying might not be the best. All the strength of the hammer is front to back.

mike_dave Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I currently have an estwing, but I like the hatchet style handle, and my hammer is a singer which Is really annoying to use. I realize that the high velocity thing is just a marketing ploy. force=mass x acceleration. the lighter mass allows for your higher velocity. I would have to get a smooth face as I don't just frame so the waffle face wouldn't be advantageous for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Yellow Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The picture posted above is from the nailing hammer... I have 2 and really like them. Straight claws are harder for nail pulling, but aside that it's my go to hammer for everything. Have it for a couple of years now and hasn't give in at all and it has seen some abuse. This is the MIG Weld framing hammer There's also the One-Piece steel hammers with a side puller... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
