The more that I get to run the air hammer the more I agree with you Fred. It's a hard hitter with great controll. I've been having tons of fun knocking down everything from 3.5" billits to giant leaves from 1" square solid. It's allso been a blast making new tooling to go allong with it. As for the KA-75, Chris, I thought that after I got the Big Blu that I would phase out the "little" KA-75, but thats just not going to happen. I LOVE that little air hammer. The KA acts like a pnumaitc treadle hammer, delivering 1 blow every time that you depress the treadle. This is great anywhere that you would normally wish that you had a striker, like punching holes, hot cutting, flatting, or anywhere else that you can use 1 well placed super hard blow. It to has exelent controll, dosen't take up much room at all, and with a little practice will move metal FAST!! That little KA has earned a special place in my heart and would definitly add to the capabilities of any shop. And rthibeau... I am starting to wonder if there is such a thing as having too many power hammers... if so I think I'm getting there quick..... So about that 50# LG you have for sale.....
