Q: What is the benefit of a 10.5" hammer handle? A: A shorter 10.5-inch handle provides better control for detailed finish work and is much easier to swing in confined spaces like cabinets or crawl spaces. It also significantly lightens your toolbelt for everyday carry. Q: Can I put an M1 framing head on this MK18 handle? A: Yes! The Martinez modular system allows you to attach any Martinez head (including the heavier M1 framing head or the lighter M4 finish head) to this MK18 handle, giving you ultimate customization. Q: Does a titanium handle really reduce shock? A: Absolutely. Titanium is highly effective at deadening vibration. It absorbs the recoil from striking, which significantly reduces the shock transferred to your arm and elbow, preventing long-term injury.
