Hi John, I never miss one of your posts on the farwest's as I'm willing to build myself an air-hammer with a different air-sheme from the typical Kinyon and am still waiting for the video you sometimes speak about there
I'm French and as my English is not perfect, sometimes my words don't exactly translate my thoughts
So don't see here any kind of aggression or industrial spying, I'd just love to see one of your monsters at work

Madmike....

If you want to see an extended (over five hours) video of John's hammer in use by three industry experts, order the UMBA video RD119. You should be able to find it on the UMBA website at UMBA Online

I'm not sure videos are sold internationally, buy it wouldn't hurt to send a note to the Librarian (Roger Degner) and ask. If you go to the website listed above, and click on "Library", you will find an email and snailmail address for him. He provides these videos for $5 each (with a $2 mailing fee (regardless of number of videos ordered) within the states). I have no idea what international shipping would be, but I assure you it will be worth it.

I tried for a second time to get a reply from Phoenix about current pricing and have not heard back. It's been about 3 weeks since my email.

Call John at Iron Kiss. The Iron Kiss does have the clamping feature if thats what has you looking at the phoenix.

If the weather holds John will be at our Hammer in this Saturday with a hammer running for anyone interested in trying it out and learning about Iron Kiss.

Heck give the guys at Big Blu Hammer a call. I bought one of their hammers about a year ago and could not be happier. They have awesome customer support and have all their products instock ready to ship.

I saw a Iron Kiss at Boones hammerin a couple of years ago. The thing was missing a dozen bolts, and the dies were so out of square I was scared to come around it, as were other people. The salesman was not very conducive to questions or comments. What's the use?

I saw the iron kiss hammer in its art-deco styling at quad state a couple years ago crushing aluminum cans. Its a pretty expensive can crusher.
