Hi, I purchased Marks new hammer several months ago and I use it nearly every day. This is the best hammer I have ever used or owned. Well done Mark

As a tool addict I own almost every kind of hammer under the sun. For framing I use a douglas 19 oz hammer, for trimmnng I use an estwing 12 oz leather handled hammer, and for concrete forming I use a 14 oz t-bone hammer. I rarely use a hammer for demo, as I was taught the trade by old timmers that would ream me out for improperly using my hammer and would make use a small pry or a hillbilly bar as we call it in Chicago. These new hammers are a big improvement over the old stilettos, and I will definitely add them to my collection. To all those people that say you can get a Vaughan hammer for $200 cheaper, while true you definitely are missing the point. These hammers are pricey but they're indispensable for carpenters driving nails day in and day out, and while nothing will ever replace good old hickory for absorbing impact, I'm glad and thankful that Mark Martinez designed a great hammer for us all to be able to ply our trade more comfortably and more efficiently.

My first Stiletto was your guys' 14oz poly handle.Then I graduated to the Ti-Bone ll and us it everyday.Had both for awhile then sold the 14.Awesome product.

I love this hammer. I now have owned both the tbone and now the Martinez. Absolutely love them both. Only thing the stiletto has over Martinez is the open end side puller. Other than that Martinez is the best hammer I have ever owned.

i didn't get the silicon handle on the wood framing hammer

hi Mark, for me one of the strong Benefits of this hammer besides the unique design, lightens and quality is being able to switch out the head should it become worn or damaged as well as changing the type of head altogether to say a ball point or mallet. for me my interest in this hammer besides the inventors high reputation was the ability to us this one hammer as two hammers_ so by simply changing the framing head for framing, to a finish head for furniture projects. however after speaking with Sandra it would appear this is not the case, Sandra has advised me that I can purchase the m 1 with milled or smooth head only for framing but I would need to purchase the m 4 for finish work when it becomes available. given the information from both this video and the emailed information from Sandra I am a bit confused and I hoped you could please clarify. love the hammer.

I'm looking forward to buying one of these.

A simple tool made complicated. I paid US$ 8.00 for my hammer in 2013, it still works

That is an awesome idea. With that hammer is it ok to strike other tools such as nail pullers? I know with the stilleto you are not supposed to.

They don’t sell that style of stilleto wood hammer anymore, why???? It seems very efficient

This guy is a clever engineer!!!

hi, very nice hammer. I am a Irish carpenter working in Ireland and I currently use the vaughan 23oz wooden handle hammer for framing and it's time for a change. I heard the stiletto hammers are the best as they are made from a single piece of titanium which is stronger and lighter than steel. but in this video it seams to me that you recommend a hammer that has a STEEL head not titanium. before I purchase can you recommend which hammer you make that would suit my needs? I prefer a long straight handle 18" but doesn't have to be wooden. I do framing as well as framing work, this might mean I need two separate hammers but you can advice. I have no intention of abusing my hammer such as concrete work. Cheers Dan

This is guy is simply amazing passionate men created the world and this man is a great representation

im from ireland I love your hammer s I have the wooden handle one

Simply the best hammer ever built

so nice. getting myself one for christmas

When you create hammer for plumber?

Pricey, but this video makes you doubt that...

I can rebuild the engine in my 68 Camaro cheaper than rebuilding A Martinez framing hammer.

I like your video but I’m sorry to say this , I still preferred titanium hammers better . There’s a difference between titanium and stainless steel. Especially because of it’s prices . However , titanium handle much more abused test during my procession of it material . I bought 6 titanium hammer from Stiletto , so proud and happy since it’s hasn’t fail me .

I guess my question is why would you use a $200 hammer for demo ? I know you have to plan for every use and I generally use a Stiletto wood handle. I have broken a number of handles doing demo, so I got in the habit of using an Estwing or similar steel hammer for demo, then switch back to the Stiletto for carpentry work. I may try the Martinez, the only question I have on it is length. It seem significantly shorter than the wood handle hammer. I use tennis racket grip on my Stiletto, fairly durable and more cushion than the baseball bat tape I was using. My 2 c.

Why don't they sell the wood handle on the website

Great tool! I'm a union carpenter out of Chicago I have an stiletto, just order my Martinez this morning...

In line for the square and mallet. Nail puller works awesome.

Great technology, and great ideas, but still no chance of replacing my Douglas.

The second is hot !

When will they be available to buy?

I just love his arcteryx shirt

Gedore tools done this years ago!

I have a hammer fetish!

Who wants a hickory handled hammer that requires a proprietary haft ? You could drill a couple holes in any framing hammer haft, but it's easy to drill a hole off center so you kind of need their proprietary haft and who's to say you'll get one with good grain when there's probably zero chance of being able to buy one in stores and inspect them as you need to do with just about all hafts today. My hammer heads don't come loose on me anyways, I hang them properly and I oil them with blo so they don't dry out. The traditional hanging method used for hundreds of years is perfect, the problem is that people used to know how to care for their tools. I'll keep my Vaughan 999 or 1950's Craftsman hammertooth also produced by Vaughan & Bushnell, a brand new 999 is a fraction of the cost and is flawless.

Mine was really difficult to put the handle like i had to malet it in lol

Handles are too short on the titanium Martinez.

I just buy a £5 from Lidl, but I have to buy one everyday, after I've seen the doctor about my bad elbow, before I get to the site where I still haven't finished that roof, it's been there for 3 years.

Sorry ment to say framing as well as finishing work

The wood one price is resonable the other one even tho is more versatile its way to expensive

como consigo los dos , alguien en español ?

I have had the stelleto ti bone 15 for quite a while and although it is a very good hammer i find that i am continiously tightening the allen bolt that holds my smoothface steel hammerhead on.. I would like to see a permanent head

🔨DeWalt my favorite

This is BS, he designed the Titanium Stiletto saying how it's the best hammer in the world, sold out, then makes his own version saying the old design is flawed, they are not $200 they are $250, Replacement head is not $49 it's $60

I'll keep my Vaughn 19oz hammer that I've been using daily for about 7 years it was $20

Almost got duped into buying one, then read (a lot )about broken claws. That on top of an INSANE price and a seemingly arrogant designer, nothing being available on their website? no thanks.

The wood handled hammer is a lot cheaper,.. but the titanium handled hammer has a TON more job-related versatility and repair/replacement options... MAN, this is a tough call. Do I WANT to make what's basically a car payment for a tool, that, if I take better care of it than I do my Estwing, will last me forever? Even though the Estwing may not be as expertly innovated and engineered, it's still a straightforward, classic, dependable design that's budget-friendly. This is a tough call. A tough call, indeed. And it kills me because tools like these are meant to be marketed to working class people, like myself. Not very many of us have money to blow on real expensive hammers; even if they're hammers of the gods. I wonder if Martinez tools takes payment installments. Lol

I use hockey stick tape on my axe handle Vaughn 14oz hammer.

I can buy several estwing hammers for 200 bucks. They never give up.

- Do u still use round nails in us , it`s kind of easy to get out of the wood ... and no good for a construction !

sorry guys but soon as I saw this guy (Martinez) talk about Making his "legacy" I knew there was more than one tool in the video. Legacy is what you built and what is left when you pass on, not what you build yourself up too as a goal, that's just big headedness. Your bigger than you think,..in your own mind. Just step back and watch the videos, and you'll see what we see. Often the comments are disabled, wonder why?

The guy knows Hammers because HE FUCKING uses them!!!

This video would have been more convincing if you have a wooden work bench and wood and nail pounding live action.

$200 arghhhh

nice hammer,,,i might have to give titanium a try again. i bought 2 stillettos when they first came around. i broke a claw off one, and shatterd the second one into like 8 pieces. titanium has super high tencil strength but no durability after scratching the shit out of it

LOL he almost talk me out of my air Framing gun

Ive used a Stiletto for about 7 years and had my boss offer me a Martines a few months ago and after checking it out I turned him down it seems like a cheaper knock off version of the Stiletto And that angled face feels so wrong

Ask Mark if he offers financing😂

Wow! $200 bucks for a hammer! For that price it had better come with someone to swing it!...I'll stick with Estwing. If it ain't broke, dont fix it!

Ill stick to Vaughn until I can afford a stilleto ... -northern Ohio carpenter

I want a $300 Titanium hammer. Can Obama buy me one?

Creator is all excited, meanwhile the interviewer is bored AF and doesn't care

Hell yeah” Hammer Porn 👀!!! I wish we had the option to change parts on the old wifey lol 😂

I bought a estwing hammer makita saw zall, grinder, and 2 battery’s for the price of this hammer... 200 220 you don’t feel completely broke but 295 after shipping and taxes in a global pandemic no thank you.. I’ll save my money for a rainy day

I bought 30 hammers with the price of this hammer

If you will spend 200$+ on a hammer have I got a bridge for you!

No hammer is worth $300+ unless it hammers the nails by itself.

We went from a generation of builders to a generation of customize-ers. Less work & time/cost more money. ??Good or bad, who knows?? Beautiful hammers though...

#2- Stilleto knock off...

Martinez the fine quality Stilleto 20 oz straight claw framing hammer with corrugated head and wooden handle has been an indispensable classic tool for carpenters. You are not old enough to have been the "founder" of company that made this hammer.

Brand New junk . Vaughn 999 , anyone I let Barrow won't give them back

Bad Hammer and Bad Customer support

its a hammer ,,, get over your self , or get out more ,,, a hammers a tenner , when it gets nicked you buy another, your hammers cost more than my cordless , and for that reason , im out.

I was striking the top of my 14 inch cats paw. With the hammer HEAD and the CLAW BROKE right off. THIS has happend to me 2 in less than 3 months. For 200 plus hammer idk. Ive owend a stilletto hammer and that never happend to me. Smh over priced hammer

I take it this guy doesn't know the "technical term" for "Un-doing it"! Lmao! This dude probably makes a shit ton of money/year for Martinez Tool Co. as a rep. and speaks like a third grader!

Complete bullshit marketing!

Martinez overpriced garbage tools 👇 Stilleto is the best money can buy 👍 I'm a framer for 42 years
