Does anyone have any experience with these hammers? Any comments?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

looks like a good hammer never heard of the brand. Looks a little like the newer champion set ups. I love mine

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.
