matei campan Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 helohere are some others: as i said i want to build myself a mechanical one, but i'm still in doubt: would it be a "rusty" or a tirehammer? i've got the most important parts (anvil, base plate, springs, motor...) but when i'll have some money i would like to add a self contained hammer. here i could buy an old localy produced one, minimum ram wheight 63kg. an other option is Anyang, as there is a dealer here. i don't know how serious he is, yet. in case i decide to buy one, what do i have to look for, what could it go wrong ( dealer, mechanics, parts supply, service, etc.)? or does it worth to spend more and buy Sahinler as there is a dealer, too? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Buying, I would go for an Anyang, very strong machine, still made and improved, very popular so troubleshooting is not a problem ask James Johnson or John N here, they are two Anyang dealers, US and UK and can tell you everything you want to know about these cuties The self contained you've posted above is a Spanish hammer, isn't it ? The info are in French but... See your other post, I've added some Italian self-contained ;) Edited September 3, 2009 by Madmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 MadMike has good points. I tend to look for reviews and experiences of others when making a purchase of an item. Fortunately the Internet makes finding reviews fairly easy. I just type "review and-the-product-name" into Google and read the reviews. Doing so has been really helpful in purchasing stuff that best meets my needs and avoiding stuff that has a poor track record. Anyang seems to have received very good reviews and comments on this forum, so I am greatly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 in fact i'm reading things about Anyang on the net from some time, but i've heard contradictory opinions. am i right that the quality what you get depends greatly on the dealer's amount and quality of involvement? i feel that the US and UK dealers are really committed to their mission. our dealer, 2-3 years ago, told me that that's me who has to go at the customs in the port where the ship arrives ad do the import formalities. so, i don't know which is his mission if i have to do the job? it's true that not having the money to buy, i didn't talk to him in detail about the business. Madmike, being "francais", have you heard about that TYRO french mechanical hammer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 A friend of mine has a Turkish Sahinler hammer and has had no problems with it. He has been very happy with it's performance and power. His only concern is that if something does go wrong he is a long way from the parts department.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Of Course Matei, but buying a new one is 'unafordable', you can find them used and in good shape and it surely move some metal for a 18kg ram Do you know the french 'Martinet Vernet' and the 'compagnon' two other mechanical we find here rusty and scrapy but which work like a dream once rebuilt...
