Based in Winton, Calif., Stiletto makes a line of ergonomically correct lightweight hammers. Its TiBone Mini-14 weighs just 14 ounces, vs. 24 for a typical steel hammer. The lower weight reduces arm strain and decreases the risk of epicondylitis, or carpenter's elbow. Dr. David Edwards, 57, a part-time woodworker in Nashville, sees orthopedic injuries from hammering in his practice and recommends Stiletto hammers to those wanting to avoid chronic wrist and arm injuries.
