My 28oz estwing is destroying the joints in my arm.
looking to pick up something lighter, eyeing off a 16oz stiletto Ti or a Vaughan 23oz CF. Any other suggestions? what do you swing and what do you think of it?
I live in ausfalia so availability is an issue for a lot of brands/models

literally any fiberglass handle will be good, it is a hammer

Just get a 20oz estwing claw from bunnings for $50 I use it all day everyday with no worries.

The titanium hammers are probably great but they're so expensive and I haven't found anywhere that sells them what do you do for work?

Get the Vaughan. Quality of a Vaughan can't be beat, and the wood handle is an absolute joy. Good stuff those.

28 is a ton of weight and the metal handle is going to transfer a lot of energy back into your arm.

I run a 16oz dewalt. Have only had to replace the handle on one. I'm going for the sledge anytime the weight is even an issue. I wish the black grip paint would last longer and wouldn't mind a nail set like the vaughan, but that waffle head is no good for me. The smooth face lets me double this for trim work.
