Boss Hammers
Boss Titanium and Steel Framing Hammers
Boss Hammers builds framing and finish hammers in titanium and steel. The lineup here includes Pro Series hammers with Ti64 grade titanium handles, Pro Plus titanium hammers, Titanium Hybrid and Steel Hybrid hammers with fiberglass handles, and the Armed Forces steel hammer with a hickory handle. Heads run 14, 16, 18, and 22 oz, in smooth or milled face. Boss also makes the Boss Paw and Trim Paw pry tools in steel and titanium, plus magnetic and soft blow hammer caps.
What to Look For
- Titanium or steel. Titanium hammers weigh less in the hand. Steel heads and hickory handles are the traditional choice.
- Face. Milled faces grip nail heads for framing. Smooth faces won't scar finished surfaces.
- Weight. 14 to 16 oz suits general carpentry. 18 to 22 oz drives framing nails with fewer swings.
- Handle. Titanium, fiberglass, and hickory handles each feel different in the hand. Pick what you swing best.
