That's not really a big factor. You should be carrying around 80lbs of tools anyway.
Certain Titanium hammers have hardened steel tips.
Some are replaceable, because even steel waffles lose sharpness eventually.
How's this for education.
The lighter head translates to a faster, more accurate swing with less effort.
Higher velocity will set a nail home in two or three swings just like the added mass of a steel hammer would.
The result is tge same. The difference is you have just used far less effort.
It makes a hell of a difference if you have to hammer 30 nails sideways or over your head, or on a ladder. Just think about 300.
The lighter head is also better balanced, meaning again less effort in the connect and return swings, and also less shock gets transferred to the handle and your arms - which in results in both lasting longer before fatigue.
Now it should be clear that Titanium has several practical advantages, but that wasn't even the actual question.
Still wondering if it's worth the money?
Think about it this way.
The difference between a €30 hammer and a €200 one is a day's work for a skilled laborer.
You put one fucking extra day of work. Or spread it out over a month and its fucking nothing.
And you get to enjoy a superior tool for a lifetime. You get to finish the job quicker and go home less fatigued.
