I love how people who know nothing about carpentry are now engineers and professionals. Weight on your belt matters just as much. You also get a larger and interchangeable head. The difference in weight does affect the force but stiletto is longer making for more leverage which gives you equal force. I own 3 and have used my current one for over 10 years.

@stickyfox 4 месяца назад

I was manufacturing engineer before I heard of Stiletto and I don't have any construction experience... but I know an awful lot about customers who want "hi-tech space age manufacturing" for parts that could be forged or milled instead of vacuum cast or 3D printed. Once I got a quote for a 3D printed magnesium charging handle that would have cost thousands to prototype (a forged one is about $6), and another time I got a quote for a plain old 3/8" thick trapezoid I could make in half an hour on a Bridgeport. Customers want to be able to make videos like this to show off how expensive it is to make their product. End users mostly just want the product at a price they can afford. They could sell this hammer for $2000, and some poor sap making $19/hour would still buy one thinking it'll jumpstart his career.. but the real money is in selling all the offices and apartments he's building. I will admit tho that people underestimate the amount of work in hammering nails. I bought a power nailer when I worked out that I'd be spending 40 full hours just swinging a hammer to complete an addition. That $300 saved me an entire week of labor.

@littlegerman12 11 лет назад

yes and as you are able to swing a lighter hammer faster (loss of M but gain in V) the velocity (being a squared factor) gets you more energy.

@mellowb1rd 10 лет назад

+littlegerman12 Yes, but you CAN'T swing a lighter hammer faster in proportion to the weight that's lost. You can swing a normal steel hammer almost as fast as you could if it had no weight at all. You can only swing your empty hand so fast. Hammers have been designed to have just the right amount of mass to get the most impact from the average persons swing. A stronger person might be able to swing a slightly heavier hammer with the same force as a weaker person can swing a lighter one. But nobody is so weak as to require a 40% reduction in the weight of a hammer just to get the same impact as a normal hammer...or if they are...perhaps they should not be doing a physical job. Steel hammers already come in all the weights required to suit anyone who will ever need to use them. so why spend much more money, on an inferior material only for it to get stolen like every other tool on site?

@mellowb1rd 10 лет назад

*with the same VELOCITY as a weaker person...my bad.

@flamecranium7787 8 лет назад

@Carpster666 11 лет назад

These hammers are awesome to say the least!!! We have been using them for years. We buy the wooden handle ones. Everyone on the crew gets one. They treat them better than their best hunting dogs!

@alexwang007 3 года назад

I like this man's enthusiasm

@mrbluenun 9 лет назад

I prefer the weight of a normal steel hammer whatever design it is, simply because theres more potential energy available.

@gusbisbal9803 11 лет назад

E = 1/2m.v2 ( the 2 is squared. Now the point is that the energy your arm is putting in is the same so the speed with the mass but the energy is always the same. The energy is what gets the nail in.

@КонстантинЕжов-п1р 7 лет назад

Excellent hammer! Only gold one with 120 ct diamond pane can excel it!

@JParril 11 лет назад

If you swing it faster, it will drive more momentum into the nail. So if you swung it two thirds faster, it should work just the same.

@paulhendrix8599 7 лет назад

Interesting moderator and very cool process. Sure, the hammer has cool features as well ... but what?

@kimbucina310 10 лет назад

I am a framing carpenter. Everytime a new person comes on the job site and tries a stilletto, they buy one and never go back. Steel hammers suck compared to the titanium stillettos. The t-bone is most practicle but the 14oz hickory handle most used.

@XxXAUTOXxX 13 лет назад

I use a smooth face 18oz estwing all day for anything from framing to finishing or even demolition. It is the ONLY hammer I have ever used that will pull 22 gauge pins, 3 1/2" spikes without heads, or 18" ardox spikes and it has done it for almost 11 years without getting dull. Composition is not what makes a hammer, design is.

@gusbisbal9803 11 лет назад

I love how he says, no other hammer has that feature... except for EVERY OTHER CLAW HAMMER!!!!!! What do you think the claw does!!!

@shannonrupright1682 2 года назад

Try pulling nails with a claw. Then try with this feature. Night and day. Do you work construction? Ever pull nails out of concrete? Almost impossible with a claw. Effortless with this nail puller. I "lost" one of these hammers at work and tried to get by with a basic B%#@/ hammer- I went crying back to this model exclusively for that nail pull feature.

@Rhandahl 11 лет назад

it dosn't take temperature to cut with a grinding wheel, it takes cutting edges of a harder material, heat is just a biproduct of the process.

@avaaudio9008 Год назад

Resonating frequency of the hammers handle material and its cross sectional reducing neck length shape to reduce oscalating frequency vibrations transfer into the hand section. Slow rebound elastomers as grips also reduce resonances transfer into one's hands shape of hammers handle from head to grip and its material is interrelated..

@cringeboy-123 8 лет назад

... A lightweight hammer, doesn't that defeat the entire purpose? wouldn't you want the extra mass to drive the nail home? seems like a huge marketing ploy.

@MrMeanderthal 13 лет назад

@enigmaj316 #1 you don't provide the force with your arm, you provide it with your wrist.. #2 a faster swing with less weight has an impact equal to a slower swing with more weight.. #3 fact, a 15 oz titanium hammer sinks nails as well as a 20 oz steel hammer.. I still use a 23oz steel hammer because I don't generally pound nails with it.. I use it to knock things into place and sink nails in tight spots that are out of reach of my nail gun where you can't get a good swing and need the weight.

@65ShelbyClone 12 лет назад

+1. Energy in the system is conserved, so a person swinging the hammer exerts the same amount to drive a nail regardless of the hammer's mass. However, force on the elbow to lift a lighter hammer may be lower, which could account for something. Personally, I wouldn't risk a repetitive use injury by hand framing; I'd use a nailer wherever possible.

@AZURA888 9 лет назад

A hammer is a very primitive tool as to think in using expensive space materials in it. It is much better to use that metal in a modern pneumatic nailguns or hydraulic hammer that would result in an amazing performance.

@TheCalse 9 лет назад

I totally agree with you. Good steel costs about 1.5$ for kilograms in Russia. In opposite - titan costs more, than 80$ in Russia. And also in tools, that work by using their weight, steel better then titan. (7.8-7.9 kg/l, in opposite - 4.5 kg/l of titan). And also good steel might be better then titan in hardness. (HB characters) (also tools steel may be not only Chromo-Vanadium, in may be Carbon Steel, which harder then usual)

@tansit2344 9 лет назад

Guys need to use lighter steel hammers and learn how to swing better. Gradually accelerate the hammer, don't jerk it with your elbow. Pivot your wrist just before the strike and follow through. Let the tool do the work, not your arm. I can forge, drift pins, and letter stamp steel all day with lighter than usual ball peens or sledges. A loose grip eliminates the recoil.

@maltman4101 12 лет назад

Spot on...Hardness of material has no bearing. If the mass(weight) is reduced, the velocitiy must be increased to have the same driving ability(kenetic energy). If you have to increase velocity, it is sure to reduce your ability to hit your target AND increase the vibrations...Think I will stick with my steel hammer.

@MrMoran22 13 лет назад

@Lokivoid If you can swing it faster than a steel one, that increase in velocity makes up for the loss in weight and you end up with similar momentum for both types.

@sonilthakkar3222 11 лет назад

thank you for this video,it's too informetive for me.

@areluke 4 года назад

that´s too bad

@MrQuijibo 12 лет назад

I think you need the kinetic energy of the hammer, KE=(1/2)mv^2 not the force being used to accelerate the hammer. It's not so simple either as the hammer is also not following a straight line, the different mass could also affect the heads trajectory. Talk about opening a can of worms... I think lokivoid was refering to both being swung at the same speed.

@bashkillszombies 11 лет назад

For two thousand years the hammer hasn't changed because it works flawlessly. Using titanium and removing 40% mass and saying 'it hits just as hard' is absurd. It does 'move faster' as they claim however the kinetic impact will be inferior to a steel or iron hammer. This is a waste of titanium.

@mellowb1rd 10 лет назад

It's not a purely mathematical problem. You can't drive a nail any faster with a 7lb lump hammer than a normal hammer. More weight only adds more impact up to a point, beyond which, you lack the muscle strength to accelerate it to a sufficient velocity. Similarly, reducing weigh lets you swing faster, but only down to a point where you are approaching the fastest speed you can swing your empty hand. Beyond that, reducing weight doesn't increase speed at all. It's a waste of Titanium, because it's just an inferior material for the purpose

@user136002 14 лет назад

@bessarabia7 Titanium is more flexible. When you slam the hammer down it will flex slightly rather than jarring your arm.

@rich1051414 11 лет назад

well, depends on how you look at it, you can swing it faster, BUT, you are putting the same effort into it, so reducing fatigue doesn't sound right... reduced fatigue means less effort, but less effort means less force, and slower nail driving, so making the hammer lighter doesnt sound like it would fix the problem at all xD

@Eay5paev 12 лет назад

Not that simple. It very much depends on the amount of momentum you can transfer to the hammer with your arm. And this depends on the weight of the hammer and some biomechanics considerations on how a arm works. Whoever said that a titanium hammer hits just as hard probably said it because he actually experienced it, not because of some mechanical analysis.

@xXMeecrobXx 10 лет назад

0:11 Isn't Titanium cause of it density and light weight structure more bouncy than steel? So it produces more recoil...

@shannonrupright1682 2 года назад

That nail puller is 10,000,000 times better at ripping up nails than a hammers claw. Try pulling a nail out of concrete with a claw- almost impossible. As a commercial carpenter we do actually have to pull a lot of nails out of concrete and his hammers accomplish that easily. We all gladly for over the mula for his hammers. Great success story all around with him.

@alextallen8019 12 лет назад

Why? If you just drop it then yeah the heavier steel hammer will hit harder, but I don't think many people rely just on that to drive in nails. Also, Titanium has a much higher strength to weight ratio than steel. That's why fighter jets aren't made of steel.

@Dannyboy1550 12 лет назад

If you ever did work on old buildings in tight spaces you would realize getting a claw under a nail is difficult to do when you don't have the room. I have personally experienced situations when this would have saved me a lot of time and evergy.

Nice tool, but it is still important to use proper technique and you will be able to hammer all day long for years and never have any problems. Relax your grip right before the hammer makes contact and let the recoil lift the hammer.

@micnor14 9 лет назад

Wouldn't using a lighter steel hammer have the same effect? Maybe put a titanium cap on the head for durability? Are these guys just reinventing the wheel?

@alexpaulsen1487 9 лет назад

Michael Norman Yes it would but the real benefit is the damping properties of Ti (approximately 10x better than high carbon steel). If you strike a Ti and steel hammer against a concrete surface at about the sample speed, the difference felt through your arm is substantial.

@ricktbdgc 13 лет назад

I guarantee if you try any other 15oz hammer, it will not hit as hard as the 15oz stiletto titanium. I used to use a vaughn 19 oz, great hammer but the wood handle breaks over and over and over . Anything stanley or fat max is crap, expect for the fat max 22 oz, great for smashing stuff but you will destroy your elbow over 10 years.

@ilikepie9519 12 лет назад

how is this hammer any better than using a lighter steel hammer?

@TorosCanavari 13 лет назад

@MrMoran22 And when you get the similar momentum for both types by increasing velocity, your arm will get the exact same negative effect of hammering. So here we are at the beginning now again :)

@JE-ed6te 2 года назад

Harder to make… but harder to break.

@ocelotrevs 13 лет назад

I'm not really convinced about titanium being beneficial in anyway here. The whole point of a hammer is to use a weight to force something into a surface. The heavier the weight, the more force you can apply to the impact point (F=mass*acceleration). By having a lighter hammer, it won't have any benefit in it's use. It'd make it worse.

@jobicek 13 лет назад

If you like your arm use hammer with handle made from shock absorbing material. Fiberglass core and some anti-slip shock absorbing soft touch grip. Weight of a hammer you use is determined by what you are nailing. Long nails and hard surfaces require heavy hammers and short nails and softer surfaces require light hammers. With right weight you should be able to drive a nail in one or two strikes. Too light and you will work yourself to death.

@TWOLF365 11 лет назад

Space age?

@etmax1 13 лет назад

@user136002 wouldn't that depend on the thickness and shape of the connection between handle and head? ie. if Titanium is less stiff (unlikely) you could shape the steel to match the characteristics. The only thing with titanium is its strength to weight ratio.

@user136002 14 лет назад

Not to mention that it will last longer.

@nectartyrant1390 9 лет назад

im just gonna point out that cast metal is significantly weaker than milled/hammered/rolled/worked metal. the best refined titanium around is equal to your average low grade steel. the fact that this is cast... eugh. can't take the beating that a steel hammer can take. also, what's with that side nail pull gimmick? what the fuck is the point of the claw end? you know, the part *designed to pull out nails?* people are saying that this thing is better than steel because even though it is lighter it can go faster and thus hit just as hard... okay, that's cool, except that would mean you're still working your muscles just as hard. the recoil is probably less, sure. i agree with that. but that is the only advantage of this hammer. not worth hundreds of dollars.

@stonecraft745 4 года назад

Seriously a Titanium Hammer is cool. But you can just use a lighter steel hammer right? Why do we use heavy hammers? Jeah because they have more potential energy

@apoorvseth70 9 лет назад

Why would they use titanium, heavier hammer has more inertia in the end steel hammer will hit with more inertia resulting higher impact. So where you can nail things in one swing with steel you can't do same with titanium. They seemed like wannabe inventors with a really bad idea and they executed it with lost wax casting lol

@alexpaulsen1487 9 лет назад

Apoorv Seth w/ a lighter hammer you can swing faster. E=1/2*m*v^2 so increasing velocity is more important than mass. Also, titanium has a much greater dampening coefficient than high carbon steel (about 10x) so less recoil shock is felt. Less recoil shock and a lighter hammer = less strain on your body

@Th3ShadyW0lf 9 лет назад

Alex Paulsen Except the nail requires the same force to get pushed into the wood... It's just moving something lighter faster. Doesn't really add up.

@Th3ShadyW0lf 9 лет назад

a) The boxer things is just stupid. They don't hit with more kinetic energy, but the hits are harder on the person because there is less padding. That's the reason Mike Tyson grounded away at the padding in his glows, they weighed the same, but the hits weren't as cushioned. b) The formula is 1/2*mass*velocity^2 and having two variables, you can get the same answer two different ways. Which again brings me back to, this is bullshit and the whole video feels fake and plasticy.

@Th3ShadyW0lf 9 лет назад

I'm not sure what you're getting at... Anyhow, you can get the same kinetic energy two ways, a lighter hammer does not automaticly give you more kinetic energy.

@apoorvseth70 9 лет назад

No bro you are right higher kinetic energy but less impact, lets say a big truck crash into a wall will do more damage because of higher mass (same momentum) VS some light mini van which if with same momentum will have less impact (the van will bounce off the wall as well). The higher mass of hammer will ensure more force that will drive the nail into wood (suppose) on the other hand titanium hammer will get forced back (elastic collision: assumed ideal for simplification). So in the end with titanium hammer one has to do more no. of strikes vs one big strike of steel hammer, driving the same nail to same depth inside same material.
