A good hammer is an investment towards your elbow and wrist.

Just brought an M1 the other day ...and I love it, not very many people have heard of an M1 here in New Zealand!

I have considered a Stilleto hammer for my finish carpentry company, the tool dealer in my area steered me away form the brand, the owner broke a tooth pounding a framing nail. The warranty was voided because he used the hammer, another used the teeth to pull a nail broke them off, again the warranty was voided due to miss use, should of used the side pull feature

instead try to get you to buy a Martinez. the warranty covers the hammer with no fault within reason usage.
Thanks for the video.

Dude I love my m1 martinez hammer, I do concrete forms, and gotta say it's been a hell of an improvement over the hammers I was rocking before, I was using 22 oz hammers from steel to fiber glass handles and the martinez to me has such a great handle, the weight of the hammer is no different then the heavy hammer I was using, my hits are harder and I love that nail puller on the side, and the hammer is way lighter then what I was using

depending on how you grind it, you can take tempering out of the steel, and change the grain structure. especially where it is thin. if it is cold ground, or manually filed, this won't happen. just a thought

It's true when you stated that nails just like to go in with this hammer. I love my M1.

Great review. It takes some rime to get use to but it’s a solid hammer. Mark Martinez makes nice tools.

[thatotherdan]

Part of the reason it drives nails better, I'm assuming is because the hammer face is angled slightly for a more solid hit vs sometimes glancing blows with other non angled hammer faces. Equating to less nails getting bent over while driving them in with the hammer.

Just my two cents. Real happy with my custom gold Martinez

TB3 handle is not replaceable, that's the exact reason I made the switch to the M1

[ibrazeau]

I love both my M1 and my M4. I bought them before the Stiletto III came along. I would be hard pressed to choose again knowing the improved version of the TIBone III is there.

You hammer technique is impressive man.

Am so close to buying this hammer, agree the side nail puller is a plus, the thing I'm not to keen on is the thickness of the end of the claws, if you grind them like yours carefully so you don't lose the temper, would it void the warranty if a claw broke through over straining. Does it feel top heavy, good for swinging, however, you will need to pull that weight back, could possible fatigue the forearm if nailing all day like i do. Good informative video 👍

What's the advantage of a titanium handle over a hickory handle? Hard to justify the price of titanium for me. "Wood handles break" isn't really a problem for me because I use pry bars for prying.

[alexandrebraga]

Is this hammer durable enough to do form work with? I go thru hammers a little quicker than the average carpenter from always pounding on steel clamps and forms currently using the mig welded dewalt 14 oz wonder if this hammer would last longer

Onde eu consigo comprar um martelo 🔨 desses

[samstein]

Started out with an M1, switched to stiletto TB3. M1 was just too top heavy and uncomfortable.

[gambobuchoo]

I am in Nigeria how can get the hammer

[aoscustoms]

I’m still trying to get used to the angle of the hammer’s face.

[johnymartin]

Love my m1, have a waffle head, a smooth face and an m79.
Much prefer my m1 to a tibone

[codyolmstead]

I respect all of the work, insight, design, etc.
I'm on my 3rd stiletto. My first had the same thing, the claw was fucked from chipping concrete.
2nd Ti-bone 2 because of the claw issue, after about 5 -6 years anyway.
3rd because I lost the 2nd during foundation work for months.
A coworker ended up finding it, surprisingly. One thing not to do as an apprentice fyi, is grab your coworkers shit and just start smashing the claw on shit, or any tool really.

I honestly didn't like the way the martinez is weighted. I like to keep my swinging hand basically on the very end of the hammer, unlike this video. There is no right way to do it, but I find I get a little extra power, with a lot less work than my last standard hammer, 28 oz estwing.

to each their own. i'm not switching until retirement from the ti-bone 3. I might have to buy 3 or 4 more.. but it would be worth it.
