Product Description

From the Manufacturer

When you look at the Titan hammers from Stiletto Tool Co., you can see it's a well crafted tool. What you can't see is that this may be the lightest framing hammer you'll ever hold. Stiletto Tool Company proudly traces its history to the earliest days of the California Gold Rush. Since 1849, we have provided professionals and homeowners the tools that have literally shaped the building of the West. Today, Stiletto's line of Titanium hammers brings the tradition into the 21st century. Lighter by nearly half the weight of conventional hammers, Stiletto's line of Titanium hammers significantly decreases the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive-motion, stress-related injuries. The lightness of Titanium creates a greater head velocity with less effort. Its strength assures there is no loss in driving power.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice for worn out arms, May 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stiletto Tools Inc TI14MS Titan 14-ounce Titanium Framing Hammer With Straight Handle (Tools & Home Improvement)

For those unfortunate enough to have some form of repetitive stress injury (for example, tennis/framers elbow) this hammer is excellent. Due to the highly ductal quality of titanium, there's less rebound--transferring more power to the nail--so the hammer drives like a 22 to 24 oz framer. If it's still too light for you, wait for the 16 oz titanium. It's less like a California framer and more a classic Vaughn style and drives like a 28 oz.

3.0 out of 5 stars Equally good and Equally bad, December 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Stiletto Tools Inc TI14MS Titan 14-ounce Titanium Framing Hammer With Straight Handle (Tools & Home Improvement)

The last company I worked for had several guys that were hard core Stiletto believers. The weight of the titanium is awesome. It allows anyone to drive nails all day long without getting a tired arm, and tennis elbow in the long run. However, the handles are usually junk. One guy went through 2 Stiletto handles in 2 weeks, then finally got a Craftsman handle. The Craftsman never broke on him. I recommend buying a different handle right off, or drilling a hole through the top of the handle and packing a rod (steel or metal) into the hole so the rod goes past the base of the Titanium head where the handles normally break. The way it appears with all the Titanium wood handle Stiletto hammers they are either a really good hammer, or they are junk and break. BTW pulling nails with Stiletto hammers voids the warranty. They recommend a nail puller to pull ALL nails. Spend the extra $130 and get the solid Titanium Stiletto. You won't regret it and it will last forever.

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor imitation, June 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Stiletto Tools Inc TI14MS Titan 14-ounce Titanium Framing Hammer With Straight Handle (Tools & Home Improvement)

The hammer that I purchased is a casting, and not a forged hammer head that I thought I was going to receive. As a result one claw broke off on the first nail that I tried to pull. It certainly is not worth the price! Steer away from this one, if you expect to use it for more than a wall decoration. Doesn't anyone make a forged titanium hammer?
