“Brand Hammer New” | A Real Builder and His Tools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- Not many people actually wear a hammer out, but after 12 years Jaime has to retire in his trusty Stiletto hammer. Jaime makes it fun by building a custom cardboard box fitting for his hammer to try to return it on a “warranty claim”... He begs Stiletto in an enclosed letter to replace the hammer for free. You’ll have to watch to find out what happens.
The Perkins Brothers have a long history using different Stiletto hammers over the last 20 years while building one-of-a-kind custom homes in the Great Smoky Mountains. This video gives a behind the scenes look at Jaime’s trusty hammers of past and gives a glimpse into how much of a crazy tool guy he is!

I just spent 10 minutes watching a romance video about a man and his hammer! 😂
Only construction people understand how close we get to our tools.
Happy New Year!
Haha 😂 I think your right!
Too true, too true!
Does his wife let him sleep with it in the bed?
Don't forget, mechanics are extremely close to their tools too!!!;)
Congrats
General population: what's so interesting about a hammer video, I mean come on, get a life.
Carpenter: sweet video
Lol
I am a carpenter and I'm still trying to figure out why I watched this whole video. I need a life.
We're a special breed. ;)
The same reason why I watched the whole video; something caught our attention. Hope you have a day bro. #PositiveVibes
Im a carpenter and cant figure why anyone would spend $250 US ($322 AUD) on a hammer?? my estwing still rocks
@@needaman66 u in australia, you dont rely on your hanmer to crank out 14 high end houses or 4 large apartment buildings. Sometimes bringing an airgun is too much work, someone that can get in those difficult places and swing their hammer all day makes the difference
Me too…. Funny thing is watching him use it at the end…. He looses about 40% of his power by choking up on it like that.
Sweet box. "Upper management" speaks Mandarin now so good luck with that hahaha.
brand new hammers with waffles always does the most damage on our fingers.
Hung Nguyen I destroyed half my finger with my old waffle hammer. Glued most of it back though.
I wish Stiletto would have returned your old hammer so you could do a viewer give away with the old hammer.
I think they should have replaced it free. Seeing how much love and use went into your old one, plus thehand written letter....yeah, if I owned the company I'd be pissed if I found out one of my patrons had this happen. Nice discount, but still....
The best thing about this whole video is that you included your kid in it. That's a sign of a good Dad. That's the most important job you will ever have. Congrats on the new hammer, too.
I've had the same hammer for thirty years!! It got a rough in head on a finish handle! It was a used gift from my boss! It was left on a job ,I immediately drove thirty miles back to get it!! Something about a good , comfortable hammer!!!
Dad's basement step were wood and could be moved to get to the dump pump. My little brother would practice nailing on them, he started when he was like four!! Those five steps were nail heads after awhile! Pops never said a word!! Now I know why!
Tti owns stilleto
Mark Martinez has the best titanium hammers now. He used to own stilleto
Proficient Builders Why are they better?
They own alot...tti. Milwaukee ...ryobi...hart...Hoover and on and on.crazy
JG Laboratory can the original American Milwaukee managers still make their own decisions though?
@@MsElijah16 he if I know. I just like the tools
All you needed was some syrup to go with that waffle!!! Love the hammer. The RIGHT tool makes it possible to do your job the RIGHT way!
When he open’s the box... “oooh, look at the waffle” 😂
Nice hammer! I know that feeling brother, Im a carpenter in California and swing a 20 ounce steel Douglas with walnut straight handle and satin finish ! Best hammer ever swings and drives excellent.love it ,take care untill your next video you and your brother are awesome 👍 Nailed it!
I feel like that when I get a great new tool , I love titanium tools
Jaime built a coffin for a hammer .... and hopefully unlike the movie Pet Cemetery ... It returned friendly and loving. TOP TEN vids on this channel of hilarity!! The generic music makes it even stranger and slow mo voice adds to the fun. I rate this 5 stars our of 4 stars.
I like the wood handle version he built better than the new one
What about the old hammer 🤷♂️ I’m that sentimental I’d never get over it if I didn’t get it back
Wilkinson Carpentry What hammer are you using ?
Elijah I use Estwing, always wanted the M1 but can’t justify the $500 here in Australia lol
Wilkinson Carpentry I've been wanting to splash out as well haha, what ounce estwing have u got? And is a curved or straight claw?
Elijah 20 and curved mate, I got my first one when I started Carpentry and had it for bout 6 years , it got stolen and I replaced with same one, had ever since .... some guys say it’s shit cos it’s 20ounce but never bothered me at all
Wilkinson Carpentry a blue grip full steel 20 oz is pretty standard in NZ , it might be nice to have a longer hammer with a nail puller aswell
250.00 for a hammer, 68 years old I will stick with my 30 year old plumb thank you.250 that thing should have a lifetime warranty.
I love it when people can appreciate a hammer so much. I'd like to think I'm one of those people. It seems so simple in modern times but the hammer is a tool. Among the first tools at that, and tools were a defining element of what separated us from the animal world, and helped to set us on the path to where we are now.
It’s Christmas Eve and ur in ur workshop playing with ur hammer wat a LEGEND
I’m same with my hammer, the wife thinks I’m a bit weird but mr tickle understands me just fine!
Best hammer romance on UA-cam, and we understand the passion.
That hammer is greatness! You captured well that amazing feeling of getting a new tool. Grins.
Upgrading to the tbiii from the wood handle 14. stiletto pairs nicely with occidental.
These hammers are great for 80% of uses in the field, but when you start driving 12 or 16 penny nails, you really need something with more weight. 14 oz just doesn't cut it.
Pro tip: if you want to try a 14 oz hammer and don't want to spend that kinda cash, check out DeWalt's 14oz, it's only $50 and is an awesome hammer.
@EvilShake101 absolutely true. You can't discount mass, and attempt to make up for it in speed. If you swing on a 16 penny nail with a 14 oz hammer it will have a tendency to want to bounce off or slide off. You don't have the same reaction with a heavier hammer. It's simple physics.
@Glenn Holcomb sure boss! Whatever you say
@@abewilcox4560 Driving 16 penny nails is where the stilleto shines. As someone who has been building, the 14 oz with a wood handle is ideal as a nail driver, use the length of the handle and swing it like you mean it. You will be less tired, especially when u have to do weird swings. The weight only helps u with downward swings, which are the easiest swings to do, and do not require weight or a special hammer to drive. I think you are ignoring the physics of velocity. Velocity will increase ft lbs of energy exponentially, mass increases energy linear
Please do another tool belt set up video
Nice hammer! Looks like you got the new TB3. I've been debating on getting one as well. My TB2 is quite worn after 6 or 7 years but it still goes all day everyday. Enjoy!
But the real question is... did you get your old hammer back as well?
I'm guessing they kept the phone you sent back and that's why they gave you the deal? I get the whole, "to much shock to the elbow" when driving a nail, but that wooden handle did look pretty cool. Lol
Did the same thing with my Buck knife.
Glad Stiletto was loyal to you because you been loyal to them
I still use my first Stilleto handle I wore out as a fire poker for the wood stove in my shop. I can’t part with it!
Thank you for this! Some folks just... don't...know.
You guys are nuts and I love your passion. I'm learning a lot thanks dudes, everyone!
Stiletto comes through! You might say “they nailed it “ !
Did you get your old hammer back??
Oh, it was worth the 10 minutes, I now know to NEVER buy a Stiletto, them not repairing a high end tool like that is unforgivable.
There is an extended version of this video that you have to be 18 or older to access and it’s 9.99 a minute
just so you know, the blend of titanium is now cheaper cast, than before. so that means, there is LESS titanium than your old one. its still a great hammer nonetheless
Upper management gonna hear about this box 1:29 😂😂😂😂
I've got (2) Ti 12s & (1) Ti 10,
I don't need a Ti 15..... but dam you make it look good !!
Buy a Martinez hammer dude, you’ll fall in love all over again and wish you made the switch a long time ago. Different swing takes a minute to get used from the stiletto, but not having that head on the stiletto turn away from the magnet slot is a nice upgrade, so is the straighter claw on the Martinez. Plus the sticker comes right off on the Martinez 😂. It’s the little things. You can also get an axe handle for a looser grip on a strong swing without having it slip out.
Bear Hands Does the head have locating pins in it so that it doesn't spin
Bear Hands have to agree the Martinez looks very nice and the head on the stiletto turning and not aligning with magnet slot occasionally is a slight issue. But it’s still a joy to use and hardly a day I don’t reflect on how great it is. Never felt that way about my old estwings or plumb. I got mine 10 years ago for only $199 in Australia (clearance sale). At the time $au was on parity with $us. Haven’t seen one in a tool store since then! (In Australia)
The Martinez hammer does not have locating pins because it does not need them. Mark Martinez is the designer and original creator of the infamous stiletto hammer. He has since left Stiletto and redesigned that hammer and now has his own company Martinez Tools. The “M1” Framing hammer has a few upgrades the stiletto was lacking. For one, the head of the M1 is one solid piece. Don’t quote me on this, but I’m almost certain the head is steel, because it feels too heavy on its own to be titanium, but the body and through tang of the handle construction are all one solid piece of titanium. Handle grips and heads are also both easily interchangeable, however one thing about the M1 I do not like it’s that once your handle grip is on, it’s on. You must cut it off in order to change to a new one. Kinda sucks but I suppose it makes sense as you don’t ever want it falling off or slipping off mid swing. Can also find quite a few colors in the body of the hammer as well on his site. I just see the M1 as the updated stiletto and it essentially is exactly that. To clarify once again, the M1’s nail slot will never rotate or become unusable unless your magnet or slot is so full of metal shavings/dust/mud that you can’t put one in there, but clean it out, good to go.
Meanwhile, my 30 year old estwing (and my elbow) are still going strong.
Hue Janus my 28 year old plumb permabond has not worn out yet . 200$ for a hammer .nope
They really are a nice hammer and you can tell a difference. It's only 200$ for a tool you use a lot.Unless you don't use yours alot?
agreed
Nice hammer... I’ve been using antique hammers my whole life the one I like the most is a belknap bluegrass 180z it’s about 80 plus years old but if I ever started using a new style it would be that one
I am JEALOUS!!!!
Funny Stiletto dosent even use hammer shaped boxes, go figure, I just got a 16 oz titanium with a wood handle. I used it for about a 1/2 of day, I love it already. Happy hammering!!!
Awesome!!!
Nice hammer I guess but, a $50 Dewalt does the same job equally well. I’ve used both. The handle never fell off the dewalt so... The waffle face will wear the same as any other hammer too. Apparently $99 dollars is the actual value.
Better watch out for all the titanium hammer dick riders on this thread, they are out in full effect today! I said the same thing previously, but they are all about their $250 hammers! Suckers.
Yeah I have to confess, I have the $25 Dewalt hammer. So I'm not a real carpenter I guess. But it does drive nails just fine.
@@GarwoodNick don't say that too loud. Lol
Ive gone through 4 dewalt 14 oz hammers since they came out broke 3 the handle came off the 4 th how much does that come out to be i just bought the ti bone 3 ill come back in 4 years and let you know the difference between them
@@jasonmcclure5491 you are either a liar or running them over with a tank. I've had 2 for the past 7 years and both work stellar. These hammers are awesome.
You should try an M1 Martinez lol
That’s one way too do it 😂
THE GUY THAT MAKES THE HAMMERS FOR THOR....NEED TO OPEN SHOP IN THE USA.
Can you do a video on how you did the custom grip on your tbII
Why didn’t you start a nail using the nail holder thing?
In my case i only use the nail holder for hard to reach places. I mostly use my other hand to hold the nails, is way faster that way. Of course i always have a bunch of nails in my hand so I can nail one after the other.
I hope they sent back your old one?
Had my grip come off my mini 14 stiletto, warranty was a pain! I swing a Martinez M1 now
Same company bro
@@abewilcox4560 I thought Martinez sold stiletto a while ago.
No it's not the same company, Mark Martinez has nothing to do with stiletto anymore. He founded Martinez tools which is a completely different company with a totally different hammer. Do your home work bro
@@skliros9235 he did, but it's the same thing still
@@abewilcox4560 nope not the same. Stiletto is owned by Milwaukee. Used to be owned by Mark Martinez he sold it. Now he has his new company Martinez Tools.
Its the simple things in life!!
Did you get the old one back?
Did you get the other one back? For nostalgia sake?
I've always used an est wing cause I couldn't justify spending that much on a hammer, but damn if I didn't just get a tool chubby. Really reconsidering now...🤔
That's the TB3 instead of the TB2 that you sent. The conection between the head and the hammer it's supposed to be improved so the head won't come loose. I also think there's some diferences in the shape of the hammer, is it true? Like the claw i think is a bit more curved, at least judging from photos that i saw.
Ola boa noite meu nome é edersson moro no Brasil meu sonho e morar ai nos Estados Unidos vejo seu videos e amo o trabalho que vcs fasem
Nothing beats a stiletto hammer
Quite good customer service that, it's convinced me to pull the trigger on buying one. If prefer a Martinez but can't get one here in the UK, ☹️☹️
Yeah you can, tftools.uk i think ;)
You should definitely try and get that old hammer back and hang it up in the shop
Use a hairdryer to warm the sticker up for 30 seconds and the sticker comes right off no mess.
I thought spending $250 on a hammer was nuts..... You did it 3 times.
Don't use your favorite hammer if you're building a dock. I had a 22 oz Estwing with no waffle left and a slight crook in the handle to the left. I had to gorrilla glue the handle back on. I fucking miss that hammer.
Manda pro Brasil um desse pra mim
Why did they keep your old hammer ? You still own it
Trade in days at Stiletto Hammer Factory!
Only a carpenter smells his brand new hammer lolll. I did the same with my Martinez. Pretty funny!
I Brazeau has your Martinez broken yet?
Elijah - no, going as strong as the day I got it. I have the M4 also. Have yours broken? Do they break easily?
I Brazeau I've got a 20 oz estwing steel handle curled claw, I've been thinking about getting a titanium straight claw , I've already Brocken one steel estwing ... looks like the M1 head would break if you were prying 2 4/2 apart?
Elijah - never has an issue with the head, claw or whatever breaking. I've seen Stiletto hammers break claws and handles popping out, I've seen the same with Martinez hammers. Not a whole lot for either but it does happen. These are not demo hammers and the claws are also thinner then the rest of the head. Martinez heads can be replaced, Stiletto's cannot. In my opinion, if you break an Estwing and are very rough with your hammer, stick with Estwing. Titanium hammers are tough but they are hammers, expensive ones at that, so I wouldn't start whacking all kinds of stuff with them and presume they won't break... they will. I have a titanium hammer because of the weight and the impact it gives on nails and stakes. My elbow needed something lighter and less shocking on strike. Estwing hammers are good all around hammers and I still have 3 of them (16 curled, 20 straight and a 28 straight) that I use for rough demo stuff. Separating 2x boards is no problem for Martinez or Stiletto but do it intelligently. If I were you, I would get a titanium for daily work on nails, stakes and what not but I would keep a straight claw Estwing for digging and demo work. If you broke an Estwing claw, I would think it was defective from the factory... Estwings are tough friggin hammers. Just my thoughts.
I Brazeau I actually asked my Tongan mate to pull a concrete nail out with the last hammer I had that's how it broke
Hey, Can you please do a TB2 VS TB3 Comparison
I want to know is the handle more durable on the TB3
And does the curve of the claw on the TB3 make it easier to pull nails than the TB2
Thanks
NICE!
beautiful hammer , ordered the same hammer 😞 Mine hasn't showed up yet ..
New Occidental bags have the best new tool smell
If you bought it online you would undoubtedly have been sent a receipt to your email.
Vaughn hammers for me.
Hammer time.
Pity it’s not a Vaughn titanium. Real carpenters swing titanium
I agree... it is titanium. Actually designed by Vaughn before he started his own company
Absolutely beautiful hammer . Mine is a traditional long hickory straight handle .
Jaime, you ain’t right in the head ! And that’s what I like about you !
How much did it cost?
only Jamie would use a band saw to cut cardboard. And the Kept your original hammer instead of sending it back.
Never thought I would understand ánd appreciate a video of a guy sniffing a hammer.
I'm getting worried - sniffing rubber :)
A ‘real’ wood working individual would have built a ‘wooden’ box in which to send off his BFF. And said box would have had dovetail joinery with an inlay of the hammers name. And we all know what Jamies’ hammer name is!
Looking at those waffles the side of my finger hurts
Can you do a clip about bracing walls
Did they at least send you're old one back?
Forgot bubble wrap... lol
This is only your travel box....
Look what we got today...
Did they give her a good place to retire? Lol
Hold the handle of the hammer farther back, it takes a bit longer to get better at aiming, but then the pendulum of the hammer will do more of the work for you.
Will the day come when we are this sentimental about our nail guns?
I love my powermaster plus 😍
They could have sent it in the box you made lol
was kinda curious about the stiletto and when googling it, it show up as a milwaukee? can that be right?
Believe Milwaukee bought out stiletto
@@n8_the_carpenter816 ok
Should have changed to Martinez. It has replaceable grips. To each their own.
man its really sad you bought this hammer,the stilletos dont have the same quality and they are now made in china, the magnet is made with that brass insert to makes it special(so you cant fix it with another simple magnet and epoxy) the martinnez have standard magnets and the grips are replacable and costumizable,the striking face are also replacable and steel (i started a fire on a job because the titanium sparks if you bang a piece of steel)nice look but the martinez are winning a lot of popularity. I use a vaughan california framer 23 oz with and hachet style handle that i stripped and refinished with boiled linseed oil
Still do not see why I would buy a hammer for $200 or more, I have been using a 32 oz. Vaughn wood handled for over 25 years no problems.
Ive got ur hammer number 2. I have had it going on 6 years, just put the 5th handle on it. I think my eye is too wallered out.
How did you put another handle on it the tb2?
@@arturocamacho408 i dont have the tb2, i have the 14 oz wood handled framer with the long handle
I have 2 of them, i have my old ass one that i cant get a new handle for, and i got one i bought maybe 6 months ago and i love it swings just like the old one
Say a prayer you never hit your thumb or finger with that waffle head. 😊They are great hammers 👍
your finger must gotten mangled like mine whenever i get a new hammer.
00:20 you need hot glue here
250 for a hammer! An estwing or vaughan will perform just as good. Our forefathers would laugh at overspending on an accessory such as that.
