Product Description
Stiletto 16 oz Titanium Milled Face Framing Hammer with 18 in. Curved Hickory Handle
Model Number: TI16MC
The Stiletto TI16MC is a 16 oz Titanium Milled Face Framing Hammer with an 18 in. curved American hickory handle — built for professional framers who want full framing-weight driving power with dramatically less fatigue than a steel hammer of equivalent mass. The 16 oz solid titanium head delivers substantially greater striking force per ounce than steel, transmitting 10x less recoil shock back into the hand and wrist with every strike. For production 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. 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.
The TI16MC features a magnetized nail starter groove in the head that holds the nail head in position while the operator sets the nail with the first strike — keeping fingers and thumb safely away from the striking face during nail starts, a critical safety and comfort feature for framers doing repetitive single-handed nail starting all day. The 18 in. curved axe-style American hickory handle generates leverage during full-swing framing strikes and provides the natural shock absorption and tactile feedback that hickory delivers over synthetic handle materials. The straight rip claw provides a strong, direct prying and pulling profile for board work, stripping, and framing adjustments.
At 16 oz of titanium driving power in an 18 in. hickory axe handle, the TI16MC delivers the balance of weight and power that framers who are accustomed to heavier steel hammers will find most familiar when making the transition to titanium.
