4.0 out of 5 stars Light weight, November 16, 2004

I'd been carrying around a 20 ounce finish hammer with a fiber glass handle and it was always banging my leg, either in the back or on the side. Since I only do finish work now I didn't see the need for such a heavy long handled hammer. In an effort to cut weight I purchased this one. It is everything it says it is. When I pulled it out I thought "I'm not going to be able to bang nails with this", but it works. I use a lot less effort and the nails seem to go in with fewer hits. The real difference is the weight. It is so light I forget I'm carrying it. It's shorter size also keeps it off my leg. This is also the only finish hammer of it size (considered a 16 ounce) that I was able to find with the hatchet style grip. For me they just seem easier to handle and swing with less gripping force. Finally the nail pull; I just don't get it, I didn't notice anything special about it.

The reason I didn't give it five stars is; I was knocking a nail out of a board and the the face got a gouge in it. A small one that doesn't even leave any marks but still I was surprised to see how easy it was to knick this. With my old Vaughan with the fiber glass handle, I knew it would be around as long as I needed it. I can see a life span with this one. Just not sure how long. For the price I expected something a little more durable, but I hear that is how it is with Titanium.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool!, January 17, 2003

I recently purchased this hammer after swinging estwings for the pase 20 years.Recently diagnosed with tendonitus I was looking for a light, shock absorbing hammer to replace my old blue handled classic.I first tried the stiletto framing hammer but found it too bulky and long ,but this little trim model is just great. Over the last week we framed a large hip roof doing all the nailing by hand.While I admit that driving a 12d sinker requires an extra tap or two it is well worth the weight I no longer carry.These days I do most of my work with air tools but will always have a hammer by my side, and from now on this little stiletto wil be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a difference, November 6, 2002

Ive only been using this hammer for about two weeks. I am a finish carpenter and was looking for something to help my tennis elbow. This hammer is amazing. Guys think it's funny until they try it. My elbow already feels better and the curved handle is great. The down side so far it that the face marks easily when you use a nailset. I plan to do some framing soon and I will probably get a Titanium framing hammer.
