Ultimate Framing Hammer
By Mark Tapungot
I have used Stiletto hammers for years, and always loved them, I had a hard time justifying the price for the Ti-bone, but after a month of driving (and pulling) 16's I have to say this is the finest tool I have ever owned. It has all the advantaged of an old school Estwing (nearly indistructable) but none of the disadvantages (hard as hell on your elbow and heavy)It drives sinkers in 2 swats easily and it is easier to control than almost any hammer I ever tried. The magnetic nail starter will make placing those hard to reach nails a breeze. The steel faces are replaceable, a nice feature.All in all an expensive (but well worth it) and wonderfully crafted tool for the professional framer. You will never need another hammer again.

Stiletto Tibone close, but no Cigar
By Frameallday
I've been a framer for a lot of years. This review is for any carpenter that wants the truth about this Stiletto Tibone hammer.I finally decided to pay the big bucks and get one of these Tibone hammers because of all the reviews I read.Actually, I prefer wood handle hammers, but we all know that they don't last as long. Anyhow, all the hype I read made me go ahead and get this titanium from Stiletto Tools.Here's what I've found using this hammer.The actual weight of the hammer is not 15 ounces. The head may weigh in at 15 ounces, but the hammer actually weighs in at 33.1 ounces. Suddenly, my 22, 24, and 28 oz framers don't seem so heavy now.The handle is wrapped with a rubber material that makes it nice to hold on to. But, the handle end has a curved bump-out that makes it almost impossible to get in and out of your steel hammer loop. And, if you use a leather loop, forget about getting this hammer in at all.The replaceable face is 1 1/2". That's ok I guess for some, but most of the guys that I work with don't need that big a head to hit nails. Anyhow, it is replaceable, but I sure don't have time to make the necessary adjustments to keep the bolt holding it in place secure.The picture you see advertised has a inverted triangle to "pull those 16's with ease." I actually think it's easier to just keep on using the claw to bend over those 16's.The side of the face you don't see is open. I didn't like that at all, especially if I want to use the side of the head to start a nail in tight spaces.I'm not one that likes to slam anyone, or anything. But, I'm really doubting that this Tibone "15oz" hammer has the driving force of a 24oz framer. But, again, I'm a carpenter, not a test engineer.Also, I'm no doctor either, so I can't pretend to verify if this hammer makes my elbow feel any better. Actually, this hammer doesn't do anything either way to make my elbow hurt worse or less because I'm already used to a 28oz framer. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing this Tibone hammer has going for it is the advertising hype. As for my new Stiletto Tibone, it's off to the Ebay auction to recoup a few bucks back from the outrageous price I payed for this hammer.

I have had this hammer for about a year. I used to own one of the older yellow handle ones they make but I have a carpenter that works for me that really wanted one. Stiletto stoped making the yellow one so rather that get him the new better hammer with the nail puller on it I got it and gave him my old one. I love this hammer!!! it is light and solid and strong. It has shown almost no wear except where the rubber meets the handle at the top is frayed some from heavy usage. I do a lot of framing and this thing you can nail all day with and not feel like you arm is going to fall of. It hits just as hard as those steel hammers too. If you do this for a living you will love it so its worth it. But if you don't do this regulary its too expensive and nice to be in storage. You will also take it to lunch with you when you go on break. Just because you don't want the thought of some one else messin with it. A true carpenter uses his hammer like a samurai uses his sword. You develope a bond with it and learn it. This thing will not let you down.
