July 19, 201016 yr http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACKSMITH-TRIP-HAMMER-POWER-ANVIL-SHIPPING-POSSIBLE-/250669170367?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5d0bfebf Looks perfectly serviceable to me. Somebody should grab it! $400.00!
July 19, 201016 yr Looks like it has a good amount of weight in the hammer, more than my 25#LG does. At $400 it should clean up nice and give some good service to someone starting out.
July 19, 201016 yr oops 1500 miles each way and I am still thinking how can I come up with $400 + gas $ wonder what you could get it shipped for? Chris
July 20, 201016 yr I'am going to go take a look. Its only 10 miles from home. Does any one have any idea of the manufaturer. Can't say that I've seen one like this before. But it may have a new home.
July 20, 201016 yr Buy it NOW, Think later! Heck, it says they'll store it for you till you can arrange shipping or pickup. Postleg: You could be looking at it when someone clicks the "buy now" and you'd be outta luck. Buy it, then go look at it. If it was 10 miles from me, I'd have it in my shop by now. Worst that could happen is you use what ya get to build an air hammer! Looks to me like at least a 50 pound ram.
July 20, 201016 yr Just bought it. Took your advice and not take a chance on loosing it. I was thinking that if it couldnt be used as is. It would be a good starting point for a tire hammer. I dont know much about turning it into a air hammer but. Now that I bought it I can look it to that. So be prepaired for questions. thanks

July 20, 201016 yr Congratulations Postleg! If i could find ANYTHING like that near me, i would jump on it. For that price i was thinking about the drive out there!
July 20, 201016 yr Good on ya postleg Hope it works out.... price was right- now its just elbo grease and imagination... Oh ya- Q and A too :P
July 20, 201016 yr Well, before turning it into tire hammer I'd play with it a good bit. If it seems to work OK then maybe beef it up a little, replace some of the parts with upgrades. The arm on top is crying for real bushings. The toggle arms could use a little redesign. I think it has real potential just the way it is.
July 20, 201016 yr Congrats PL! Make sure to document what you do to get her up and running - then a little video of it in action would be nice - I'd like to see that hammer at work. Have fun!!
July 20, 201016 yr Thanks for all the positive comments. I'll probibly go get it this evening and see what I bought. I'll keep everyone posted.
July 20, 201016 yr Looks like you stole it to me! Scrap man would prob give ya $400 for it, its a no loose.
July 20, 201016 yr Heck of a buy there! That would be one to use and modify without fear of it costing you anything. Please post some photos when you have it home.
