Thank-you very much for the Stiletto hammer. I have been using it the past few days and can really feel the difference at the end of the day. About 8 years ago I was in an accident in which 60% of my body was burned, my right hand lost some feeling and has very limited use. I have been working as a carpenter for the last 4 years, where I am required to use my hands all day. When we were framing, my hand would always be sore towards the end of the day. I have been using a competitors' 21 oz steel hammer and it was hard for me to switch even though my hand was constantly hurting. Since I have started using the Stilleto, I have noticed that there is no vibration, and even though it is lightweight it still drives the nails like my 21oz steel hammer did. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your hammer, I will be sure to recommend it to my friends.
Sincerely, Brian B

Titanium is the metal of choice for me, because of two main factors. 1. Weight - I carry a lot of tools when I am needed in the field. I can be gone from anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks and I really need to keep the weight down and Titanium does the job well. 2. Non-magnetic - When working with explosives such as mines and other such weapons, I need a tool that is non-magnetic, we have other probes to use, but I find yours to be just the right carry size and it can be used for many other jobs besides mine probing. You have a great product with the Clawbar! I really like the weight and feel and because you cut away some of the main body, this really makes for a lightweight all around carry tool to have in the field. I'm not kidding when I say you've come up with a great tool and in my opinion every soldier should have one, I've seen other Titanium crowbars that soldiers carry but I've found yours to be the best by far.

Dear Sir, Thank you for the quick correction of my warranty problem. Many people thought I was crazy for buying a $200 hammer. The customer service you have provided me is worth the price, never mind how great the hammer is. I have always and will continue to highly recommend Stiletto Tools. Very satisfied customer.

Dear Stiletto Tools, Your company has a wonderful product. I wouldn't wish it on anybody to swing a different hammer. I am a 20 yr old framer. I have been swinging a Stiletto since my junior year of High School. Trust me, it was everybody's envy in construction class. It's also the preferred hammer for the whole crew. I have just retired my first hammer, and handed it over to my father who loves it. He has severe carpel tunnel in his right thumb, from many years of swinging a conventional hammer. Thank you for your time and wonderful products.

January 20, 2008 Hi, my name is Ryan and I purchased a TiBone hammer about three years ago. I use it all the time for framing, demo, etc. It is the best hammer in the world, I have no fatigue and my arm isn't tired at the end of a long day. Thanks for your time and thanks for producing such quality hammers.

Dear Stiletto Tools, I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful customer service I received dealing with your company. I recently purchased a hat for my brother-in-law as a Christmas present was blown away by the amount of courtesy. My brother-in-law is a carpenter and loves your hammers. After years of swinging a regular hammer, he swears your hammers are a dream. Light and powerful, they don't kill his wrists from constant wear and tear like a traditional heavy hammer.
Thank You, Christy B.

Hi, My name is Daniel F. and I am the owner and operator of a construction company. I am a general building contractor and have been in business 21 years. I decided to try your Stiletto hammers a few years back and I must say I was so impressed that I went out and bought them for my entire crew shortly after purchasing the first one.

Good Day, This letter is to tell you, all of your customers and your potential customers about how Stiletto tools have helped me. I was severely injured after a 50 foot fall. I crushed a vertebrae, had to have a spinal fusion with titanium rods, screws and a bridge installed on my spine. That tends to make life for a framer a little difficult. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that with my Stiletto Titanium hammer, that I could work all day and go home at the end of the day without pain and the satisfaction of a job well done. Stiletto tools are the very epitome of quality. Stiletto Tools�The final name for quality, durability, dependability and ease of usage.

Hello, my name is Brian A. and I am a senior in high school. I have been involved in construction since my sophomore year, this includes two full summers working through our summer internship programs. I have recently acquired a Stiletto hammer and I must say they are truly an extraordinary piece of equipment. I am marveled at how light they are, but yet they still drive a nail easier than the competition. I am very thankful for your products and the caring nature of the Stiletto company.

Hello, my name is Jesus O. I am a high school senior in the construction program, I first saw your hammer at NAHB, we were in Orlando on a school trip looking and examining how the pro�s do it. When I first used your hammer right there at the convention center I thought it was an amazing product. The new technology involved with this hammer is amazing. We are building another house right now and with your hammers it makes it easier and faster for us to do the work.

Good Day, I have �acquired� my daughter�s Stiletto Finish hammer while she is out to sea working on a cruise ship. After my having wielded a Steel hammer for the last six years, the long heavy handle no longer hits the back of my knee, no longer strains my arm with exceeded force of driving one lonely nail. It is as though, the Stiletto doesn�t exist, until its needed, and then, only with a minimum of energy. I�ve found that the FH10C has been excellent for hanging interior door jams, nailing them off with galvanized finishing nails. Its also good for tapping crown, casing and baseboards into place. I think in the very near future I�ll have to procure my very own Stiletto.
Best Wishes, Dave G.

Dear Sirs: I hope you have a few minutes to read a short story� Once upon a time (year 2001 AD) there was a carpenter who fell in love with Stiletto Hammers; so much so that he found that he could not live without one. When the first one broke he was devastated and had his wife run out and purchase him a new one. After she satisfied the carpenter, she mailed off the hammer to the company which they fixed and sent a $100 certificate towards the purchase of a new hammer. What a great company! She was surprised and immediately gave the carpenter the certificate to put in the job trailer and use the next time he had a chance (and then assumed he did so). Finally the time came for the carpenter�s wife to have her own new house, so in February 2002 most everything was packed up, put in storage and into a rental home she was tucked with her children. Meanwhile the carpenter purchased a few more Stiletto�s and one by one they succumbed to the relentless schedule of the carpenter. Because a carpenter�s house is the last item on a very busy list; it is now three (long) years later and the wife is finally unpacking and moving into the new house, when she spies none other than the $100 certificate. Imagine her surprise! Whe she confronted the carpenter with the unused certificate he claimed he had just forgotten all about the certificate because he had inadvertently packed it away. The story didn�t hold water with the carpenter�s wife because she knew that she did all the packing. It was obvious that he had not taken it to the job trailer like she had instructed, but left it in the books and papers that she had so carefully packed away. On a mission like no other, the carpenter�s wife rounded up the entire collection of broken Stiletto�s that the carpenter had tucked away here and there, (like a child tucks away favorite toys, or a dog buries bones) leaving him only the one he had in his pouch. She put them in a box, sat down at the computer and put the long story on paper, in hopes that someone at the Stiletto Co. would feel her pain and make a new certificate. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, enclosed are three more heads that need new handles (curved) and attached is that long lost certificate. All joking aside, everything above is true and factual. My husband uses no other hammer, you make a great product.

I just wanted to say thanks�I just received your new finish hammer, It�s awesome!!! Guess I�ll have to put that Steel hammer to rest now. I think that was the best thing for your company to do. The new design is much more practical and with the 14 1/2 handle it is so compact. This will be a very successful hammer. Now I�m thinking about that Mini Ti-Bone. I like that one for those demo jobs. Indestructible! Good luck with the new line.

My Stiletto is THE tool! I�m a working General Contractor and work alone on most jobs including remodels, additions and repairs. Efficient work habits and staying active helps me keep check on 50 years of wear and tear in one form or another, Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, Rotator Cuff, Degenerative Discs, allowing me to continue to do the things I love to do, one of which is hands-on building. My latest and greatest addition to efficiency is my Stiletto. Swinging a standard weight hammer exhausts my arm in short fashion, rapidly reducing my accuracy and enjoyment. Since I started using a Stiletto Titanium 14 oz. framer a couple of months ago I�ve found I can drive nails faster and more accurately. Reduced arm fatigue is the ultimate benefit. The light weight and balance of the Stiletto allow me to put more force behind my swing for longer periods, minimizing wear and tear on my arm and back, and yes�brings the fun back into hitting nails. I wish I would have had a Stiletto from the very start of my building career � heavy weighted hammer were a figment of my ego. A Stiletto Titanium Hammer is +10 in a 1-10 scale of hand tools and well worth the investment.
Cheers, Dave D.
I have been a carpenter for about 40 years. This is to tell you that I have been around through the evolution of many tools, including hammers. I have probably had a couple hundred hammers and probably own 20 or so now. Every tradesman that I know eventually gives in and admits that your hammers are much easier to swing all day, more accurate, and just plain better than the other clubs out there. I hand nail all my homes (except sheathing) and always have. We get a much better end result. Our homes are tighter, stronger and visually look better and my customers thank me for it. With the Stiletto hammers we can accomplish our task with less fatigue and more accuracy than with nail guns or for that matter any other hammer. I also own a Stiletto nail puller and love that too. Thanks for your tools and keep your research and development department going strong.
Sincerely, Dwight S.
I am a working carpenter and I wear my bags everyday. I have been through many hammers in my career of 30 years so far. I have had many a hammer simply give up and lose one of its claws from fatigue from striking forces. No tool has come close to the longevity this tool has, yet has been put through the same punishment all others received. You have a loyal customer in me and that is only due to your superior product. I don�t hesitate for a second to espouse on the greatness of your product. Good luck in the future.
