Thread: Any builders using stiletto hammers?

I used an Estwing of various styles for over 25 years with very few issues. I have no experience with the Stiletto hammers and i really cant figure how they claim the same force with less energy (or so I'm lead to believe). I'm beyond needing one now but it would be cool to give one a go.
I still prefer to frame with a hammer but sheathing is the job of a nailer, which in my opinion is harder on your arm

I prefer to make my own frames, but it is not viable on a house lot here, can't match the price. Hand nailing gives a better end result too, but again labor wise, not efficient.
Have quite a few years left before I can retire. Looked at a stiletto, the head is HUGE,. and I already have 1 thumb a quarter inch wider than the other

I guess efficiency necessitates the use of a nail gun therefore making your choice of hammer more a matter of a ripping tool. You might then be as well off to carry a nice Hart framing hammer with a good old hickory handle
For nailing purposes I mean
