On Thursday February 25, 2010 Nu Way had a display at the AGC-St. Louis Safety Awards Banquet. To create some buzz at our display this year we had attendees competing for a Trek Mountain bike. They got to see who could hit the longest home on a Nintendo Wii. There was also a registration for a Turbolite PFL from Miller Fall Protection.Quite a crowd gathered around to watch as people took turns trying to knock the baseball out of the park.

We now stock Stiletto Titanium hammers and flat bars. These new hammers are in a class by themselves, with features like improved balance, better face hardness and durability, stronger head-to-handle connection, more accurate nail pulling performance, and of course our signature magnetic nail slot. These lighter tools have the power to drive framing nails with the ease of a heavier steel framing hammers, with better control and accuracy.
Titanium hammer heads, at nearly half the weight of steel, have ten times less recoil shock than steel, significantly reducing the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other stress related injuries. With a common steel hammers, up to 30% of the kinetic energy created by the user's swing can be lost to recoil vibration, which can be transferred down the handle to the users arm. This energy that is normally lost to recoil with Steel is more efficiently transferred to the nail using a Titanium hammer.
Stiletto Titanium hammers can actually help alleviate repetitive motion injuries, and reduce muscle and joint soreness at the end of a workday, making these powerful yet lightweight tools well worth the price.
