they need real carpenters to show how it works. the first problem is the body part, it shouldn't be the elbow since the wrist is all the movement needed. weight doesn't drive the nail, speed does, for those of you that were wondering how lighter can still drive as well as a heavy hammer. anyway, waste of money, if you swing the hammer right you one shot the nail, thus less swinging, and you would use the right body part, the wrist.
Surely a light titanium hammer will require more blows to drive a nail compared to a heavier steel hammer, and therefore more wear on the elbow joint (which was given as the reason for developing it)?
@kayanathera if you took the same logic and applied it to everything else, everything would be cheap as hell. ex. iphones should cost less than 10 dollars because it's basically just bits of plastic, metal, and silicone.
I could set a 16 penny nail with to blows, tap WHAM and done with my 28 oz Stanly framing hammer. Hitting a nail 4-6 times is a waste of time{and my elbow is just fine, thank you ;) ]
one of the most useless inventions, ever... Even one of the most expensive way of producing a titanium object! btw... expensive is the opposite of good
They should make a lead insert that fills the middle cavity that is removable. Or maybe depleted uranium. Then you can choose from light and fast for quick light jobs, Or heavy and dead blow for extra punch.
@TheSolarmike Yeah with depleted uranium you'd get radiation poisoning from handling it so much....it's called depleted but it's still a little radioactive and it's a heavy metal, just like lead. Very bad for you....
no one who purchases stilettos, ever goes back.... If ur in the trade, commercial or residential, you would be somewhat of a fool not to research these.... think about it, your at work 1/3 of your life.... why not get the best hammer? We all end up sleeping 1/3 of our lives... Why not get the best mattress? It just wouldnt make sense not to.
ps, wanna get the stiletto nail puller, is it worth it?
watching this makes me feel good about my stilleto.... I was just like most ppl, hesitant to purchase one of these. To me, they seemed so mainstream or blockbuster... Everyone had them and it didnt make me feel unique if i got one... Stop bsing and just grab one... They are amazing products.. I was using stanleys xreme framing hammers and they are a joke... Go for wood handles... Why do u think pro mlbs still use wood bats? Theres no better vibration reduction out there thats better than wood
Toss all the physics you'd like at this one, but try the Stiletto once and you'll be convinced. Anyone who tries to persuade you otherwise has obviously never used one, period.
lighter and faster hammer hits just as hard as a slower and heavier one. G=v*m, G=force with which the hammer hits , m=mass, v=velocity.. The smaller the mass, the bigger velocity needed for the same force.. This secondary school physics proves that a titanium hammer is more of a marketing trick than anything else
Should be F=ma, newtons 2nd law, Force=mass * acceleration, where in this case with constant velocity, a=g (9.81 m/s^2), if arm accelerates independently of gravitational pull, than a_tot = a_1 + g
@tibchy144 wrong... look at wiki (and any other physics book) the formula is F=ma (m=mass, a=aceleration) when a is zero then speed is squared so F=mv(squared) wich means a litle more speed=double the force
@tibchy144 I'm guessing it has more to do with ergonomics and the distribution of force upon the arm/body rather than how hard it actually hits the nail/target.
Steel, only for me!!! I was a tiner for years. The only way you can hurt your arm with a hammer is to hold it to tight. Beating nails into wood dose not compair to beating on steel all day. Tennis players have the same problems with there arms. And they don't do a fraction of the work that a tradesmen dose. Great idea though just that a price tag of 200+ for a hammer is not worth it to me.
Swinging it faster won't drive the nail in more if the hammer is lighter. And why does he quote a temperature for cutting it when the guy is abrasive discing it apart? $230 = nailgun?
i agree. the whole point of using a dense metal is so gravity does more work for you, and the hammer has more momentum when it hits the nail. o well, im sure lots of people buy it
Used a 24oz eastwing for 12 years now and I'd have to say, weight is your friend. If you swing your hammer properly, it does 95% of the work for you and your arm will live a long and productive life. IMO, as they say.
i have the stilleto ti-bone 15 ounce framing hammer....and i will never ever by another hammer again....after 8 years of a 24 oz. hammer my elbow was starting to get shot....this hammer fixed it.....set and drive....that's all it takes one hit on a 16 penny nail

How does this save your arm?? The injury is caused by repetition, this doesn't stop the repetition....that's why nail guns were invented.

For those challenged in physics:
What counts is the kinetic energy of the hammer. The formula is E = 0.5 * m * v^2
So half the weight does NOT require double speed, but just root(2) = 1.41 times more speed to compensate.
f = m * a is quite useless here, because the deceleration in the moment of contact hammer::nail is very complex to be calculated.

@tibchy144 its force = mass x accleration. the equation you have there is for momentum. where your G should be momentum not force

Titanium would make more sense in wrenches / ratchets. If you use a 1 lbs, 5 lbs, or 10lbs hammer you can feel what mass does.
I still think for $200 you're better off getting a nail gun!!!! It is faster and easier to use.

@gricka31 You still have to lift the hammer up...
Ultimately no matter how you hit a hammer the amount of work required is the same to drive that nail in.
Also pneumatic framing nailers are the way to go.
