Im a residental electrician and was wondering would the smooth face model of this hammer be good for driving staples im concerned about handle breakin

I use mine for commercial framing. Youll be fine as long as it doesnt get snatched by a co worker.

Some say" made in usa " some say china, which is it?

On their website they say the heads manufactured in China and the handles in the USA and assembled in the USA

Whats the diffrence between smooth face and milled face?

Smooth face is for finish work and milled is for framing. The smooth will not mark the wood as much. Standard all round hammer is the milled.

The titanium head is made in China and the hickory handle is made and assembled in the USA

Feels really lite, but still bangs them in!

The head doesn’t fit the handle that accurately but it’s still straight and the screws came loose after a week of use I tightened those and they haven’t come loose since.

Titanium Hammer

Nice light hammer excellent side nail puller. My only criticism is that the lacquered handle is a bit too smooth and could do with extra grip.
