Product Description
Vaughan S2 18 Oz Split Head HammerThe Vaughan California Framer hammer combines the best features of two of our most popular tools into a rugged, heavy construction hammer. The smoothly swept claws were borrowed from the "999" rip hammer, and the striking face, hatchet eye and sturdy handle are a heritage of the Vaughan Rigbuilder's Hatchet. The striking face is extra large to minimize the chance of missed strikes. The hatchet style handle, available straight or curved, is made from American hickory. To provide extra strength, the handle has a large cross section where it joins the fully polished head.Vaughan S2 18 Oz Split Head Hammer Features:; Designed with a split head that reduces the shock to the hands and arms of the poor sucker who has to bang on stuff with it all day long; Can drive a nail to the hilt with just two strikes; Approaching nail gun territory; Hickory handle; Can drive a nail to the hilt with just two strikes

Great tool! March 26, 2010
Cristophre G. (Seattle)
I finally received a new framing hammer. The Vaughan split head hammer is a treat to look at. What isn't really visible in the image is the fact that the metal does not touch the wood directly, rather it is sandwiched with a sort of hard rubber material that further reduces sting from vibration. I've always preferred a hickory wood hammer and the vibram? material really enhances the overall effect that wood has. I would never swing a fiberglass or steel hammer if I could avoid it always.
The only detraction I have for the tool is that the head slightly tapers towards the face of the hammer. This probably helps more than it hurts since it gets into slightly smaller spaces, but I find that this is only minimal and feel a tiny bit less confident in swinging hard. This fear went away after a week however since the reality is that if I can't hit the nail with this hammer, its not the hammer! and maybe I should hang up my bags.
Purchase with confidence that you'll have the best hammer on the job for the price!
Good hammer August 22, 2009
Robert G. Sands (Lehigh Valley, Pa)
This is my favorite hammer that I don't use. It has good balance,and head weight. I like the idea of replacing the head, or claw if needed. The down side for me is,the split head. I only use wooden handled hammers, but I use all of the head. When getting to a nail in a tight place,I use the cheek of the hammer. With this split head you end up chewing out pieces of the handle. Although it is innovative, I'll stick to the Vaughan Blue Max, American made, and durable.
 The coolest hammer I've ever owned July 4, 2009
Philip G. Davenport (Highmount, NY, USA)
I'm a builder by trade, and actually don't use a hammer very much in the grand scope of things - nailguns and cordless impact drivers have taken over many of the jobs that a hammer used to do. Still, for the jobs where a good framing hammer is called for, this in the one to pull from your belt. The hickory handle deadens vibration, and it's shape is great for driving nails home. The split head - is it an advance in hammer design? I don't know, but it looks cool and certainly is a conversation maker.

Very well balanced. Light to swing, but delivers a lot of power. I love the claw, tears nails out of wood like nothing. I was setting trusses over a bowed slab yesterday and had to notch a lot of cap plates. After a couple of cuts into the plates, the hammer busted the notch out like an axe. Over strike protection is nice.
Only problem is that it is a large hammer, like most framing hammers are. When you get into a really tight spot you usually strike with the side of the hammer, but you can't do that with this hammer because the wood extends all the way up into the head.
All in all a great hammer for a good price.
