DR99 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 They also have Fiberglass and Wood Handled Stiletto hammers that are way cheaper than the TI Bone. I think they might be cheaper than the Dalluge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Wow, those are some pricey hammers. I am going to assume that if you use them everyday though and that is your lively hood it is more justifiable. I'll just stick with my Estwing for now, it is at the top end of my price range for a hammer! So as a guy that uses a hammer maybe a couple times a week is all, why are the stilletto's so pricey? I have never used one, so I am curious to know what the differences are between say a stilleto and an Estwing since I have one as a reference.

chewie17 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I had a college teacher that used a stilleto.... He had the one with the changeable face it had a side nail puller, light weight and that's about it.... I have an estwing and I also have a side nail puller and its still fairly light so I don't see why I would spend that much on a stilletoSent from my B15 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One and fiber glass one but the tibone is really the standard plus solid one peice frame and side pry but ya i really want a tibone stiletto just gotta save up but ya im swinging a shitty dewalt and i hate it Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torontotoolman Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Solid titanium frame really the only thing that wears is the grip but you send it in and they send you a new one Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
