Ti7 Hammer

Dead On. The Ti7 is molded out of carbon graphite with a 6-4 titanium overstrike and grip plate around a cellulose foam core to dampen and dissipate shock and noise yet maintain stiffness. With flex technology adapted from high-tech golf clubs and a relatively light head, the Ti7 is designed to hit with the energy of a much larger hammer. The indestructible head is made of S-7 striking steel with two nail-pulling slots and a magnetized nail-starting bed, says the maker. Cost: $300. 888-797-7855. www.deadontools.com.
