Product Description
Stiletto 14 oz Titanium Milled Face Framing Hammer with 18 in. Straight Hickory Handle
Model Number: TI14MS
The Stiletto TI14MS is a 14 oz Titanium Milled Face Framing Hammer with an 18 in. straight American hickory handle — built for production framers who prefer the traditional linear feel of a straight handle during full-swing framing work. The 14 oz solid titanium head delivers the driving force of a 24 oz steel hammer while transmitting dramatically less recoil shock back into the hand and wrist with every strike. For framers driving hundreds of nails a day, that reduction in recoil shock accumulates into meaningfully less hand, wrist, and arm fatigue by the end of the shift — allowing sustained performance through a full workday that a steel hammer of comparable mass could not match. The milled driving face bites into nail heads on contact, reducing glancing blows and nail deflection during high-speed framing nailing and helping drive nails straighter and more consistently throughout the day.
A magnetized nail starter groove in the head holds the nail head in position while the operator sets the nail with the first strike — keeping fingers and thumb safely away from the milled face during nail starts, a critical safety and efficiency feature for framers doing repetitive single-handed nail starting all day. The 18 in. straight hickory handle provides the direct, linear feel that many framers prefer over a curved handle for the tactile feedback and wrist alignment it delivers during the straight-through swing stroke. The straight rip claw provides a strong, direct prying and pulling profile for board work, stripping, and framing adjustments. American hickory is tough, shock-absorbing, and highly resistant to splitting — the benchmark hardwood for framing hammer handles.
Framers who prefer a curved handle at this weight should consider the TI14MC — the same 14 oz milled face titanium head on an 18 in. curved hickory handle.
