Stiletto: AirGrip Cold-Shrink Handle Wrap

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

AirGrip Cold-shrink Handle WrapDo you have an older hammer that you love and can’t part with but wish it had a more modern, comfortable grip?  Stilletto thought you might, and they’ve created the AirGrip for you.

The cold-shrink Handle Wrap is Easier to apply than heat-shrink or normal soft foam as it requires no heat gun or adhesive.  Just slide and position the grip over the handle then remove the lining tube. The grip will conform to any handle 1 7/8″ to 3/4″ in diameter.

The AirGrip Handle Wrap makes that older, less comfortable tool, a better fit for modern use with little hassle.

List price from Stiletto tools is $12.95.

Stiletto: TiBone Mini-14 Titanium Hammer

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

TiBone: Mini-14The new TiBone Mini-14 is the latest in what TiBone calls “The Next Generation of Hammers.” It’s a smaller “from-the-ground-up” version of their larger TiBone hammer, and TiBone claims you’ll experience 10 times less recoil shock than with a steel hammer.

Made entirely of titanium (!) except for the steel striking face and with the head weighing in at only 14 oz., TiBone says it drives like 24 oz. of steel. Its striking face is also interchangeable, so a milled or smooth head can be switched out either with wear or preference. The Mini-14 comes with your choice of a curved or straight handle, and it also features a side nail puller and magnetic nail starter.

It does seem to be a great leap forward in hammer design — at least in the way of materials.  All this power and excitement does not come cheap, however; at around $225 it would be by far the most expensive framing hammer we’ve ever slid into a tool belt.
