Product Description
Stiletto 16 oz Titanium Smooth Face Framing Hammer with 18 in. Curved Hickory Handle
Model Number: TI16SC
The Stiletto TI16SC is a 16 oz Titanium Smooth Face Framing Hammer with an 18 in. curved American hickory handle — built for framers and finish carpenters who want full 16 oz titanium driving power with a smooth face for clean nail driving without face marks on the workpiece. The 16 oz solid titanium head delivers substantially greater striking force per ounce than steel while transmitting 10x less recoil shock back into the hand and wrist with every strike. That dramatic reduction in shock transmission reduces the cumulative hand, wrist, and arm fatigue that steel hammers inflict on framers and finish tradespeople who drive nails all day. The smooth driving face is suited for framing applications where a clean face is preferred, and for finish and remodeling work where a milled face would leave unacceptable marks on trim or finish surfaces.
The TI16SC 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. The 18 in. curved axe-style American hickory handle provides ergonomic leverage during the swing stroke and 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 and framing adjustments. At 18 in. overall length, the TI16SC is well-balanced for all-day framing and finishing use.
The TI16SC is the smooth face counterpart to the TI16MC milled face version — framers who prefer a milled face for production framing nailing should consider the TI16MC instead.
