2009.
Time: 2.59 seconds.
Show Story: Paul Martin from Owen Wisconsin was leading for a majority of
the day until his younger brother Delton took the lead at 2.59 seconds.
That's right folks, Delton drove (5) 16D nails in 2.59 seconds!! This time
will definitely be tough to top. We have had the pleasure of seeing Paul
at many of our shows. Paul is a die-hard Stiletto user and credits our
hammers for saving his arm. He told us that he had lost most of the
feeling in his right elbow and arm from Post Frame Building. It had
gotten so severe that to continue working he had to get electro shock
treatments twice a month. About 18 months ago he decided it was time for
a change. He had heard about the benefits of Stiletto and jumped all in
by getting a TB15MC. He told us that he hasn't been back to the doctor
since he started swinging the Stiletto instead of his 28 oz Estwing. He
said would never go back to a steel hammer. Thanks for the great success
story Paul!!
Name: Tony Cimbalo.
Location: Berlands House of Tools, Palatine IL.
Date: April 17,

Show Story: Although Tony swung the Tibone like a lifelong Stiletto user,
unfortunately he did not own one...UNTIL NOW!! Tony's quote after winning:
"All those years swinging a dang hammer finally paid off!" Way to go Tony
and hopefully your time of 3.00 seconds will hold up through the duration
of the contest.
