$250 Hammer... Worth it?

  • Update on my Stiletto TB II Titanium 15 Ounce Hammer.
    First, I am not sponsored by Stiletto... I bought this hammer with my own money after seeing it on another job site and becoming insanely jealous. I’ve had many requests for my thoughts on this framing hammer after owning it. You may be shocked at my conclusion! Plus I’ll give an overview of the special features and drive some nails for show.

    I had the TB11, the hand started to click so I asked Stilleto on FB how to fix it, they asked for a picture of my TB11 and my address, within a week I had a brand new TB111! I do a lot of formwork so the fact that the nail set accommodates a duplex nail is awesome. When you use the side pull, rotate the hammer so that you finish pulling the nail using the claws it gives you even more leverage, you can easily pull a duplex nail out of concrete. Someone stole my TB111 after I had it a few years, I immediately went out and bought a new one, lucked out and got it $100 off because the box had been opened 👍🏼 really like your channel which I discovered today.

      A Martinez hammer is a better option. It has a completely replaceable head, not just the striking face. With a stilleto if you damage the claws you are shit outta luck. Plus, with a Martinez you can swap out the handles and it's balanced better. Oh did I mention Mark Martinez started stilleto and then sold it, and started Martinez after lol. They are both good but the Martinez is a better hammer all around, plus you can swap out the head and put on a sledge head or whatever different style you need for specific jobs.

One thing that helped me decide is because a titanium hammer has way less vibration so it is way easier on the elbow and shoulder and in my trade even if you had a nail gun you still is a hammer a lot to pound things into place.

    Hey guys...thx4 update. Was intrigued with new Martinez moved the weight into the head for more force with the same head speed. But have to say for 250? I'll still stay with my Vaughn framing axe. It's a double tap nail driving machine with your vinal coated stinkers. 35 years...in an Occidental 3 bagger. Like the wooden handle because it can be shaped a bit to fit my grip. Has a nail notch for pulling and with grip wax never slips. About 6 if these against 250? That said would like to get my hands on Martinex just to try. Give one a try 😊 Keep the vids coming. Lv the no bs and to the point. Snowing here.

    Ditto for lightweight and ergonomics... had Stiletto TBii and it disappeared, walked into the tool store and walked out with a Martinez M1 and M4 with waffled and smooth for each! Crazy crazy crazy purchase! Ouch! Been using them for 1 year and 1/2 and love them. Comparative with Stiletto is that the handle is thinner and I prefer that really and they are head weighted and I prefer that too.
    You have to try a Stiletto or a Martinez for a week, moving wood and sinking 1000s of nails before saying that it is a "stupid hammer for a stupid carpenter". I will never return to a regular hammer and will, also, go back to the store if It were to disappear... again.

    A repeat tale.
    I also have the Tbone II. I went from 22 ounce estwing, to the titanium Vaughan half handle; ironically, I broke it in half. To the stiletto w/ hickory (3 broken handles later), to the Tbone. If I started out nearly 30 years ago with a Stiletto I might not have had tendonitis so severe I lost a month of work (as most carpenters, where I worked there was no such thing as "light duty").
    If this is your career choice. The $300 is worth it. Even if you predominantly use nail guns.
    Although the latest estwing with magnet and side puller is an excellent choice for the DIYer or undecided apprentice.

Oughta do a video on nail guns " Nail Guns and The Guys that don't know how to use them " .. Blasting away and missing the target .. not knowing how to angle or slightly angle , To bed before popping the trigger and learning not to shred with 40 nails in the same grain line . . Learn to recognize the thud of a missed nail and prevent " Shiner's " .. IN all my years .. One of the biggest problems I have with seasoned carpenters .. Is knowing how to nail !!!! .. Back in the days .. With a hammer .. You knew you missed the target !! and you didn't load up 500 nails per square inch ..

    If I was your dad I would not have put a 28 oz Stiletto in your hands as an apprentice. There are lots of old school carpenters that will swear by the original classic 20 oz Stiletto steel straight claw corrugated head framer with wooden handle. It is a sweet tool with good steel, great balance and low shock. As I remember they made a 22 oz also. You said you did not want to blow out your elbow, but are using a hammer with metal handle? Perkins, you know damn well you are not to beat on steel and do heavy prying with wooden handled framing hammer. There are better tools for those jobs. How about heavier smooth face steel handled hammer for driving your stakes, working on forms and with rebar? A small sledge is the best for driving stakes in most soils. A standard good quality wooden handled hammer will easily pull nails sideways like you showed with $250 hammer. You know professional carpenters when framing seldom bend nails over and must be pulling them unless they hit a knot.

    I’ve been using the Stiletto 16 oz. “Muscle Head” for a while now and love it. It has the hickory handle but also has an extended throat or neck that may prevent it from breaking like your 14 oz. did? Plenty of heft. I wonder how it would compare to your TBII? I live in Knoxville and no one here sells Stiletto. What’s the name of your local distributor? I don’t think you’re too far from me?

      When you're walking walls and setting trusses, a nail gun is heavy as fuck and your airline will constantly get tangled and need to be re-routed. But if you're not a framer then you probably don't need a $250 framing hammer.

      I have both and going to sell my M1 because the head is not flat. No way to make the hammer head perpendicular to the nail head without swinging in such a way that your hand is below the nail when it strikes. Impossible to do if nailing a bottom plate to the floor and you’re on the floor. Your knuckles get beat up. Either that or I will grind the head flat to take out that crazy angle. Or put the M4 head on it

    After you actually learn to frame decent and can keep up a reasonable rate of production, nail suppliers will let you have nail guns to use their nails. But either way, who wants a extra heavy hammer to drag around all day ,every day, for decades. Love yourself enough to buy a stiletto. It will seriously help your arm, wrist, and shoulder. God know's our jobs plenty hard enough without any added tax on our bodies.

For 30 bucks it in got me thru about 5 months tho. Just dealt with tennis elbow for the first time so time to drop a little stimulus check on a stiletto! Yeah concrete guy would want something cheaper that u can beat on. Estwing or DeWalt or Dalluge
