## Description

Product Description Vaughan DDT straight claw dalluge style titanium hammer has plane face and a patented deep 'v' head design with an overstrike guide to reduce shock, whilst short claws increase strength. The nail holder is capable of holding both standard and duplex nails and the side nail puller provides extra leverage for removing nails. The handle is made of strong hickory wood. 430 mm hammer handle length. Set Contains: 1 x Titanium Hammer

Review: Excellent hammer with one small flaw - The Vaughan DDT16P is an outstanding hammer lightweight, powerful, and beautifully balanced, making long sessions far less tiring than with a traditional steel hammer. The smooth face strikes cleanly, and the straight claw gives great leverage for pulling nails. The only minor issue I noticed was that the wooden handle was a little rough where it joins the head, but a quick sand and oil sorted it out easily. Overall, it’s a top‑quality tool that performs exactly as you’d expect from Vaughan. Highly recommended.
Review: Stunning framing hammer! - The Vaughan Dalluge hammer is very impressive, even though it’s manufactured in China and not the USA. The handle is a bit longer than I expected but that’s understandable as it’s a framing hammer. The handle diameter is great as I don’t have large hands and can comfortably grip it firmly. The head of the hammer isn’t to large and with a flat top means you can get into tight corners. The fit and finish of the hammer I received was in perfect condition. The Hickory handle grain orientation was correct with no runout on the sides. The head was tightly fixed to the handle with no play at all. The only problem I had was with UPS that messed up the shipping, where tracking it became almost impossible. I had to chase desertcart support multiple times to track the package and expedite it. desertcart eventually credited me back the shipping costs and expedited it to get the delivery to be sooner, which I’m grateful for. I have no regrets with my purchase as it’s one of the nicest hammers I’ve ever purchased.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Some say" made in usa " some say china, which is it?**
A: On their website they say the heads manufactured in China and the handles in the USA and assembled in the USA

**Q: Whats the diffrence between smooth face and milled face?**

### ⭐ CHINA Made
*by P***. on 5 December 2018*

I bought it because I thought it would be made in the USA. Sadly as I received it I recognized it is made in China and only the Hickory Handle is still made in the USA. You can easily see that the quality is not the same as before. They screw the handle to the hammer head and glue it too with kind of epoxy or so. It will be a pain in the ass to change the handle if broken. In my personal case they needed so much epoxy on one side of the handle because the hammer head was formed so imprecise that the wooden handle did not fit in the routed channel of the head. i am really disappointed. For that money yoou hould receive way more. Sadly there is no good titanium hammer left. Stiletto is not the same too. The stilettos with the wooden handle come from china too. Only the stiletto full body titanium hammers are still made in the US.
