Has anyone in the uk tried one of the stilleto Tibone hammers? I have just bought one for £65 and have not tried it yet. At the moment I use a 24 estwing..
Cheers john..

You tried it out yet? When I was looking at hammers to buy years ago I looked at stilettos. I decided to go with estwing.
I lost my estwing and had another look at stilleto but again went with a estwing cus thought I could loose the stiletto just as easy as my old estwing. I now use the estwing hammer tooth. But if the stilettos are Good then maybe I might consider it next time over estwing.

Think there's a Stilleto combo for $US250 - bag, hammers and bits ... I was going to quiz them on how much direct to Oz but haven't got round to it yet.
Yeh - Estwings in the stable for now too.

I'm in Orlando.. The iPad was $499 (£328 inc tax) I think the allowance to bring back is £390 each, so I have to fit things in my girlfriends bag John.. |

To keep then guessing at customs I think you also need some binoculars, an inflatable chicken and a traditional stethoscope. I'm still under the customs allowance.. It just means my girlfriend can't buy anything.. The iPads for her anyhow, I just have to be the one who pays for it  As soon as I get home I will be sticking the iPad 1 on eBay.. John.. |
