Since 1849, we have provided professionals, homeowners and do-it-yourselfers the tools that have literally shaped the building of the West. The engineers at Stiletto Tools Inc. in Winton, California have developed a line of lightweight Titanium tools. These tools are in a class by themselves, with features like improved balance, better face hardness and durability, stronger head-to-handle connection, more accurate nail pulling performance, signature Magnetic Nail Slot and the Patented Side Nail Puller. These lighter tools have the power to drive framing nails with the ease of a heavier steel framing hammers, with better control and accuracy. Titanium hammer heads, at nearly half the weight of steel, have ten times less recoil shock than steel, significantly reducing the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other stress related injuries. This energy that is normally lost to recoil with Steel is more efficiently transferred to the nail using a Titanium hammer. This is why the Stiletto Titanium hammers will drive nails as well as the heavier hammers without the extra effort and weight.

I bought this as a 2nd nail puller but ended up using it as a my primary light work hammer as well. I would not use this in place of a real hammer on bigger projects but it's lightweight and usefulness is a real space saver in my small jobs toolbox.

1.0 out of 5 stars MADE IN CHINA, December 21, 2010

This review is from: Stiletto TiBar12 Lightweight 12-Inch Titanium Utility Bar (Tools & Home Improvement)

I was super bummed upon receiving this (the TiBar12) to find that it was made in CHINA, especially at $90. I have their 12" Titanium Clawbar, which I strongly prefer over every other cat's paw (US or Japanese style) nail puller. I liked it so much that a couple of years ago I bought the whole crew one and a Stiletto Ti hammer for Christmas. Compared to the 12" Titanium Clawbar, the TiBar12's extractor claws are significantly larger (both wider and thicker) meaning more damage to the workpiece when digging out a nail head, this is especially true for 8p through 16p gun nails with their smaller heads. It's country of origin aside, the TiBar12 still fails to preform at least one of the primary functions of a tool that it means to replace, namely that of the cat's paw style nail extractor.
