Wow! this forum is a fantastic and valuable source for information. All of these comments have been a huge help. Thank you!
Monster Metal, how would I contact the possible Say Mak up for sale in Spokane? (my best email is joshuaraysmith@gmail.com)
I had come across Iron Kiss in some of my research 6 months ago, but did not do enough follow up research. After looking around at reviews, testimony, and examples my interest has peaked quite extremely in the Iron Kiss. I love that they are designed and fabricated in the U.S. I am currently in need of a compressor update for sandblasting and plasma cutting demands, so the utility hammer is pretty attractive right now.
However Oregon is a lot closer to me than Maryland, to ship or pick up a hammer! So self-contained or separate compressor aside, is the Say Mak 50 and the Iron Kiss 100 (20:1) pretty comparable preforming hammers? And another side question: has any one had any experience ordering the Iron Kiss 100 sold exclusively through Blacksmith's Depot?
I also realize that I should do a little more looking in to Anyang as well! Factoring in versatility, control, power, and then cost and shipping (considering i live in the middle of nowhere) will all be considerations and I will keep you all posted on the final out come. Again I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the input. Thanks!
