Monster Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Too far for me to go and grab them... Look nice though. http://shop.ebay.com.au/2010mryan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel10mm Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 They sure do. Too far for me as well, especially having nowhere to put them. I suspect Moony might grab them, he has a few square meters left on his property without power hammers. I think. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Larry, Go ahead and get them, Grant can bring them back as carry on luggage when he comes back from his visit to AU Yeah, he said little giant, never saw one like that in the USA, they may grow different downunder. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOC Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hands off America chums! We have far fewer hammers than u guys. But having said that here is 'nother one! In the Machinery & Plant magazine. "7 cwt clear space Massey, somewwhere in Tassie, $14,000 (!!?!) 0424 554 433" No idea who it is. seems a bit expensive to me, what do you think?

AndrewOC Yeh a bit over priced A O'C to the tune of about $7000.00 overpriced. I reckon $1000.00 per CWT is about fair, but the littler the hammer is the more it will sell for, as all the hit and giggle blacksmiths will buy them to put in their garages to do wire work with them. 5CWT and over its only idiots like me and Moonie that will look at buying them and using them.

Fosterob Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Maybe they took the photo with a film camera, and the negative got turned upside down. That would do it. Then it was made into a digital image. Not sure how to do it digitally by accident. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Looking at it from the northern hemisphere it reads correct. Just you blokes down-under on the bottom of the globe seein' it backward! That's one of those single acting vacuum hammers isn't it? I had one like that from Sweden, a "Nohab". Without the anvil the ram just falls out! Amazing how well it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Spot on Grant, No piston head, no piston rings, just a guide bar on the back of the ram! super simple and work very nicely. I was fixing up an Alldays and Onions yesterday (1 cwt) and its exactly the same. My only dislike on them (and its fairly minor) is that for very light work they 'bounce' on the rebound, so every other blow is slightly heavier (or misses the workpiece) Ive rebuilt 3 this year so far and they are all the same, so im guessing its not a valving issue.

Judson Yaggy Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Grant- Are you sure it wasn't a "Bahon", Sweden is in the eastern hemisphere after all. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
