1. A striking tool, comprising: a handle with a first end and a second end;a head disposed on the second end, the head comprising a receiving surface;a cap attached to the head and comprising a mounting surface;a length of engagement between the mounting surface and the receiving surface;a first perimeter of engagement measured around the receiving surface at a first point along the length of engagement distal from the cap; anda second perimeter of engagement measured around the receiving surface at a second point along the length of engagement proximal to the cap,wherein a ratio of the length of engagement to the difference between the first perimeter of engagement and the second perimeter of engagement is greater than about 0.4. 2. The striking tool of claim 1, wherein the cap includes a hollowed portion, an extension of the head is received in the hollowed portion, and the extension includes the receiving surface. 3. The striking tool of claim 2, wherein the ratio is less than about 2.9. 4. The striking tool of claim 2, wherein a taper of the receiving surface has an angle greater than zero degrees and less than or equal to seven degrees measured along a side of the receiving surface. 5. The striking tool of claim 4, wherein a taper of the mounting surface has an angle greater than zero degrees and less than or equal to seven degrees measured along a side of the mounting surface. 6. The striking tool of claim 5, wherein the head is aluminum, and the cap is steel. 7. The striking tool of claim 6, wherein the cap is permanently affixed to the head via only a friction fit. 8. The striking tool of claim 5, wherein the cap includes a striking surface, and a void space exists between an inner surface of the cap opposite the striking surface and an end face of the extension. 9. The striking tool of claim 8, wherein the cap is attached to the head without a bushing. 10. The striking tool of claim 8, wherein the first point is at a first end of the length of engagement, and the second point is at a second end of the length of engagement. 11. The striking tool of claim 8, wherein the length of engagement is between about 0.1 centimeters and about 3 centimeters. 12. A striking tool, comprising: an aluminum head, the head including an extension, the extension having a receiving surface, the receiving surface tapered at an angle along a side of the receiving surface of about 10 degrees or less; anda cap including a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side comprising a striking surface, the second side including a hollowed portion, wherein the hollowed portion includes a mounting surface,wherein the extension is received in the hollowed portion of the cap, the receiving surface in contact with the mounting surface along a length of engagement to permanently affix the cap to the extension via a friction fit,wherein a first perimeter of engagement is measured around the receiving surface at a first point along the length of engagement, a second perimeter of engagement is measured around the receiving surface at a second point along the length of engagement, the first point farther from an end face of the extension than the second point, and a ratio of the length of engagement to a difference between the first perimeter of engagement and the second perimeter of engagement is greater than about 0.4. 13. The striking tool of claim 12, wherein the receiving surface is tapered at an angle along the side of the receiving surface of about 7 degrees or less. 14. The striking tool of claim 12, wherein the receiving surface is tapered at an angle along the side of the receiving surface of about 3 degrees or less. 15. The striking tool of claim 12, wherein the mounting surface is tapered at an angle along a side of the mounting surface of about 10 degrees or less. 16. The striking tool of claim 12, wherein the cap is steel, and the head is aluminum. 17. The striking tool of claim 12, wherein a void space exists between the cap and the end face of the extension. 18. A hammer, comprising: an aluminum head including an extension having a longitudinal axis, the extension including a receiving surface and an end face, the receiving surface tapered at an angle of less than 10 degrees along a side of the receiving surface relative to the longitudinal axis; anda steel cap including a hollowed portion, the hollowed portion including a mounting surface, wherein the extension is received in the hollowed portion such that the mounting surface is permanently affixed to the receiving surface via a friction fit,wherein a length of engagement exists between the mounting surface and the receiving surface, a first perimeter of engagement is measured around the receiving surface at a first point along the length of engagement, a second perimeter of engagement is measured around the receiving surface at a second point along the length of engagement, the first point being farther from the end face of the extension than the second point, and a ratio of the length of engagement to a difference between the first perimeter of engagement and the second perimeter of engagement is greater than about 0.4. 19. The hammer of claim 18, wherein the mounting surface is tapered at an angle of less than 10 degrees along a side of the mounting surface relative to the longitudinal axis. 20. The hammer of claim 18, wherein a void space exists between the end face of the extension and the cap.
