There are 2 build options available. Pre assembled or self-assembly . The self assembly options will come with all the components needed to build yourself e.g. hammer head and head bolt, handle and grip with grip pins.

Review of the M4 and M1 hammer

The Alcatraz 15oz M4 Titanium Framing Hammer has a steel head with a Smooth or Dimple Face, an Orange titanium handle and Straight or Curved Black Overlay Grip.

Weight of the Martinez Hammer explained

The heads and grips are replaceable and interchangeable. The M4 Titanium Finishing handle is brilliant because of it's ability to limit shock and requires less striking force due to the weight at the head end, so this reduces the impact for your arm and elbow.

Features:

Titanium where you need it, Steel where you want it.
Ideal for Second Fix and finishing work
Requires less striking force due to the weight at the head end, results in less impact on your arm & elbow.
Suggested equivalent to 16oz Estwing
Patent Pending.
All Martinez heads; M1 (15oz), M4 (12oz), M79 (2lb) are interchangeable on both M1 and M4 handles.
Mark Martinez (inventor of the Stiletto hammer) preferred combination is an M1 15oz head on an M4 handle (shorter handle).

Some of the smooth faces have been powder coated black. You may find that the powder coat will chip. This will not affect the performance of the hammer in any way however, if you are concerned about it, you can safely sand off the powder coat with a sander to reveal the smooth steel face.
