Hand SawsGerald Dalluge started to make hammers by using rig builders hatchets and straight clawed hammers. He would cut the blade off the hatchet and the claws off the hammer and shape the parts and weld them together. This required a lot of hard work and time. He knew there was a better and easier way to make this type of hammer. Gerald decided to take a perfected hammer to a tool maker friend and had him make the tooling. The finished hammer came out even better than the original. With his new design Gerald was able to make several different sizes of the Dalluge hammers. Gerald Dalluge continued to assemble the hammers in his garage until he sold it to Vaughan Manufacturing Company in 1999.
