i have been gathering scrap to build a rusty/dusty hammer,my concern has been the hammers stability and wasted energy with movement.so what are opinions of this hammer,down side bigger footprint/more materials,but is it a better design?

The frame and anvil look solid and steady. I just see the cantilever spring arm whipping, which stores extra energy.

ps, I think I misread the question, but I am not changing my answer. Other people know more about power hammer design than I do.

It is not an improvement over the rusty/dusty style if that is what you are asking.

My 75# rusty style has a much smaller foot print, and more throat area between the upright collumbs and the anvil.

Looks like fun to work/play with. But I think I'll stick with my tire hammer. :D



I agree with Curly George. I am amazed every time that I use my tire hammer how efficiently it moves metal for such as small hammer.
