Amazon.com Review
If you're used to a standard 16-ounce claw hammer, this lightweight titanium hammer from Stilletto will make you feel like Popeye after he's had his can of spinach. This beauty has a graceful curve in its hickory handle that's ergonomically better for swinging--a small modification that makes a gigantic difference. It weighs only 14 ounces, but it drives like the big boys. We liked the magnetized nail groove, because it helps prevent hitting fingernails. The manufacturer says this is the world's first titanium-head hammer, and if that's true, there are sure to be copycats. The only word of caution: titanium has a million merits, but be aware that it will spark if chipped. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 The best thing since my first hammer November 10, 2008
puretrack (Midwest)
I have used a 22 oz. Fatmax framer since I was 17, and never thought titanium hammers were worth much, considering the cost, until I started working with my current employer, a barn builder, who will use nothing else. After a few days of comments along the lines of, "Your hammer is so slow," and, "Your elbow is going to fry," (we drive all our fasteners by hand, by the way - all the climbing and moving among other things) as well as the numb sensation from my right elbow down, I thought, "what the heck?" and bought me one.
After a few weeks, I'm spoiled rotten!
Having a full sized hammer weighing only 14 oz. lets me swing a lot faster, with less effort. I highly recommend one to anyone that uses a hammer as a regular part of life; if for no other reason than it's lighter to carry on your belt!
There are two cons that I would like to point out. One is unique to the tool, the other general to the material used.
First, the magnet for the one-hand nail starter slot is really too far back towards the claw, making nail 'flip-out' an annoying something extra to have to watch out for. Not a deal-breaker, just mildly annoying.
Second, Titanium is harder than steel and this, of course, means it is more brittle. So, both the face and the claw wear out faster. Don't expect to buy one and use it for the rest of your life. I'll drive over 500 nails a day for several days a week with mine, and expect to get 2 years out of it, at the outside. Not that it'll be useless, just enough that I'll retire it and get another.
Next time maybe one with a replaceable steel face, for comparison.
 Great gift August 11, 2008

We bought this as a gift to a friend of ours who is helping us build a house. My husband has a steel Stiletto and our friend was impressed so we bought him a titanium Stiletto. He is very happy with it and has bragged to his friends about it. Price and performance is excellant

I was skeptical that this light weight would do the job but it does and does it well. Liked it so well I bought the finishing hammer.

I have been a carpenter for 10 years and I wish I bought this hammer a long time ago. Although it is light weight, the hatchet like handle delivers more power than a 22 oz. framing hammer, plus it's easier on your swinging arm. Great product!

This is a great product. Really saves the wrist and elbow. I highly recommend it.
