Stiletto TRIMBONE Titanium Finish Hammer
The titanium hammer vs. steel hammer debate has been going on at my job site for a few years now. The big questions are 1) whether titanium hammers are worth the cost, which is sometimes 4 times more than a steel hammer, and 2) whether they really prevent injuries.
I’m not here to sell you on titanium hammers. But personally, I think Titanium was a great choice for me and my crew.
Titanium’s Benefit
Titanium’s primary ergonomic benefit is less recoil, with less fatigue being a secondary benefit.
I’ve been using a Stiletto hammer since 2011 when I got my first Stiletto 10-Ounce Titanium finish hammer. I loved the “old school” axe-style Hickory handle. Not to mention it was “WICKED” light!
I later gave this hammer to one of my guys and picked up a poly handle Stiletto finish hammer. Shortly after that, I threw out my old framing hammer and picked up a Stiletto TiBone framing hammer.
Regardless of which hammer I use, I’m now sold on titanium for my hammer of choice. As I get older, I continually look for products and tools that will make my work more efficient, easier, better quality and hurt my body LESS!
Titanium Transfers Energy Efficiently
The major attraction to using a titanium hammer is less vibration and weight. Titanium has the same strength as steel with 45% less weight and exhibits much less vibration than steel. Some hammer manufacturers claim up to 10 times less vibration.
Titanium hammers are typically half the weight of steel hammers and can still deliver the same amount of power to the head of the nail. The reduction in weight equates to less fatigue over the course of a day, week, or year.
Hammer Swing Energy
Titanium hammers also allow you to obtain approximately 97% of your hammer swing energy going into the nail, compared to approximately 70% with a regular steel hammer. If you’re doing it right, this should result in more efficient nail-driving.
Cost
At $240 The Stiletto TRIMBONE hammer comes at a premium price and that may put them out of reach for some users. That price isn’t totally crazy considering this Pro-grade hammer is made in the U.S.A with premium titanium metal, has highly specialized features and is designed specifically for the finish carpenter.
Stiletto TRIMBONE Hammer | Final Thoughts
I think it’s fair to say that hammers are quickly evolving into far more sophisticated tools than their predecessors, and we get to benefit from those advances.
Titanium hammers offer excellent vibration dampening, and the lighter weight metal translates to easier swings with less fatigue and impact on the nerves and tendons in the arm. Less damage to the body is a good retirement plan!
After using this hammer for a while, I predict that you will see and feel a reduction in weight (it weighs 45% less than a standard steel hammer) and a reduction in harmful recoil shock vibrations.
Using a titanium hammer makes sense, especially when I think of my own injuries, and guys that I know that are in what I call a “survival mode.” These are the guys that take Vicodin or Ibuprofen to keep pain and swelling down just enough to get through the day.
So, some advice from Uncle Rob…. give Titanium a try, protect your eyes and ears, and consider work pants with built-in kneepads. Your body will thank you 30 years later.
