  2. I have 33lber its used daily,for a little hammer their a work horse,but need a little warm up time,if I'm going to use the hammer and she cold I give the hammer about 15min warm up time,by doing that she hits hard right from the start.I use 30wt oil yr round and it does get cold here in B.C Can, the idea of 10wt is a good idea,.........happy hammering .........cheers
