Even though a lot of framing work is done with pneumatic nailers, there’s still a lot of hand work that needs to get done. Like finishing off the nails that the nail gun doesn’t fully sink, or knocking studs into alignment. There are also a lot of framers who just prefer to kick it old-school, by swingin’ that hammer. And since some of those old-school framers are, well, old, swingin’ that hammer can have some painful repercussions. Carpal tunnel, tendonitis and tennis elbow are a few of the unpleasant consequences of pounding nails in all day. Research has shown that many of those ill effects can be reduced or eliminated by switching to a hammer made of titanium. The folks at Stiletto have been cranking out titanium hammers for many years, and not long ago released an updated version of their popular TiBone hammer. Join us for an impactful look at the Stiletto TiBone 3 Framing Hammer. Read More

Join us as we launch some nails with the Milwaukee Gen 2 18 Ga Nailer. Read More
