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 Heste

 This hammer sucks January 1, 2008

I got this hammer as a gift, I would never spend $250.00 on a hammer. Everyday I have to tighten the bolt to make sure the face doesn't come off. When I pry wood apart I use two hammers, I was hitting head to head with the stilleto and a $30 vaughn hammer and the stilleto head blew apart, So I went to the tool store to get a replacement head and it was $40.00. So I walked out and the next day at the job site I threw the hammer in the dumpster.

I absolutely love this hammer. I don't use it often for timber framing, but when I need to assist the framers, or something needs a good bashing, this hammer delivers. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Also very adept at smashing fingers, but that's my own stupidity.

I frame homes for a living and I smile every time I slip this hammer into the loop on my bags. It does everything I want a framing hammer to do and it is virtually unbreakable. I can pull galvanized spikes out effortlessly unlike any hammer in the world and I never have to worry about breaking the handle.
I experienced the loosening head problem some other reviewers complained about so I asked the manufacturer about it, they were gracious and helpful and sent me a new bolt and told me how to deal with this. Basically its "Follow the instructions" Clean the threads, apply threadlocker, insert bolt, tighten (I used a larger allen wrench with a piece of pipe on it for better grip) strike the hammer several times (Hard) on a solid block of wood , then tighten another quarter or half turn, this proceedure fixed my problem completely. After a pallet or more of sinkers it has not loosened up again.
I have built at least a dozen decks in the last few months and drove a couple boxes of #20 galvanized spikes and this hammer worked flawlessly.
My 49 year old elbow and wrist thanked me for investing the money in this hammer. If this is not the best hammer ever made, then please enlighten me and tell me just what IS better?
If you are a professional carpenter/framer, this hammer is not expensive, it is simply the top of the standard, if however,you are a wannabe, well then it might be a little bit too much technology for you.
 Not worth it December 4, 2006

I've owned one for over a year now,so the excitement has worn off.The head is always loosening up,who wants to waste their time tightening the head down.
The rubber handle wore out.I've been framing for over 30 years and I've
tried them all. I've never wore out the rubber handle grip on other hammers.
After contacting Stiletto they wanted $50 to regrip the handle.Money is
better spent on the Stiletto 14 oz Titanium with the wood handle.
The facts about the Stiletto Tibone Hammer June 24, 2006

1.
The price you pay for this hammer is based on advertising hype. I would have saved the high price of this hammer if someone would have had the ballz to write the truth about this Tibone.
2.
This hammer is bulky and not balanced well. This hammer does not do a damn thing to make your elbow hurt any less or more. Again, advertising hype.
3.
The rubber around the handle, and the bump-out at the handle bottom, make this hammer a real pain in the neck to get in and out of your hammer loop.
4.
The hammer head may weigh in at 15oz, but the total weight of this Tibone weighs in at 31.1oz. Maybe that's the real reason it has the "driving force" of a 24oz hammer. Besides, who made-up that phony business about "driving force" anyhow? Someone that works for Stiletto no doubt.
5.
The replaceable faces are a joke! So what if you can change them out. What, you have time to constantly check to see if the bolt is secured that holds it together? I don't. Besides, you want to keep on forking out another 40 bucks plus shipping for them? Not me.
6.
Don't be a sucker like I was for paying the outrageous price for this hammer! Don't believe the Stiletto Tibone advertising hype.
There's nothing "primo" about this hammer at all! Except the price.
