Customer Review: Stiletto Tibone close, but no Cigar
Summary: 2 Stars
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.

Description of Stiletto Tools Inc TB15MS Ti-Bone Titanium Hammer With Straight Handle
Oh, baby. Now this is a hammer. A magnificent 17 inches from head to toe, this tool with its ergonomic, patent-pending handle just begs to be gripped. The wallop you deliver with this beauty is easily on par with that of a 24-ounce steel hammer, but you'll be swinging this one long after everybody else gives up. Titanium is the key--lightweight, but virtually indestructible. A twist of the Allen wrench, and you can change out the milled waffle head for a smooth face, but either way, the magnetic nail starter will come in handy. Okay, yes, that's three digits between the dollar sign and the decimal point, but in this case, you get what you pay for. This hammer's primo. Use it and you'll toss the rest. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteOh, baby. Now this is a hammer.
