CurlyGeorge Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've never used one of those hammers, Mark. But it looks like it's in real nice shape. I like the saw blades, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knots Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No but it sure looks like a nice little hammer. Is it a Twenty Five Pounder ? Just from the picture I would think it to be a superior design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It looks like a ''Perfect'' clone and a decent hammer. I had a perfect once and not in that good of shape, the dies not being offset was my problem with it but not everybody needs to work long pieces. The clutch is very clever and simple on the Perfect as with yours, just a flat round plate meshing with a spinning cylinder, simple and effective. Much more so than cones in my opinion .......A good little hammer, but not superior or perfect....mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for the replies. This hammer is up for auction near where I live in July. I called the owner and he said the hammer works, but he doesn't know much else (weight rating etc.). I already have a 25 pound LG that needs runs but could use some work so I am contemplating on pursuing this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-hr Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I agree with MacBruce, that things a ringer for my 'Perfect' hammer. They have good control for a mechanical hammer, the dies not being offset does kind of suck, but I forge railings from 1 inch square up to 10 ft long just by skewing past the frame. The main problem I see with that hammer, is the dies appear to have been ground to a taper, probably for jackhammer bits. To use it for general purpose you'd have to grind back to flat, or weld up material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 looks like a good hammer never heard of the brand. Looks a little like the newer champion set ups. I love mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsloan Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It is a Perfect brand of hammer. I could post pictures of one in worse shape. In fact that looks brand new compared to the ones I've seen. Dave from Diller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
