Murdock Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have an old Little Giant Trip Hammer. Don't really know much about it. How do I find out what size it is? How much is it worth? A good place to find parts for it? Do I even have a use for it? Also have a No. 4 Arbor Press and a really old drill press I would like info on if anyone can help. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Howdy from East TEXAS!! and welcome to IFI! Check the flywheel, the part you took a picture of, and see if it has 25lb or 50lb on it. If not, look on the side where the serial # is a post it, we can give a year it was made as well as the size. And if you send the serial # to Sid he can tell you when it was first bought, who purchased it, and where it's first home was. Where are you from?

ThomasPowers Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 A good clean picture of it would usually be enough to tell what it is. Price is dependent on size, condition, and location ranging from a few hundred for basket cases to over 5000 for large ones in excellent condition located in a well populated area.

dsloan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Sir, If the can of spray behind the hammer is used for reference. I'd say you have a 50. The best place for info. is the Little Giant hammer website. (www.littlegianthammers.com) Their website will tell you size and also parts available. If nothing else give them a call. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. As stated before location has a lot to do with value. You will find a lot of price variation in fifty pounders though. If it has a single bolt front main bearing cap this will hurt the value. This will make it an older hammer. As far as usefulness, it depends on how much hammering you are planning on doing. Most folks with a good power hammer will not be without one. Good luck with hammer. Dave from Diller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hanson Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Welcome. A picture of the whole hammer would help. And in a much smaller file size! 1+ MB is crazy huge for the Internet!!! Some of us backwoods folks can't get high speed, unlimited internet service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
