nonjic Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 thats as sweet as they get for the small shop, in my opinion - and rarer than rocking horse droppings, most folks wont sell them once theyve got em, note the integral anvil - no pit foundation :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I might buy it yet (if its cheap enough - its remarkably difficult to make money from used small hammers, factor in a bit of transport (with a hiab), bit of cleaning up, putting it under power to test it, few bits of repairs, waiting 6 months to find a buyer, being haggled down by said buyer, constant Q & A for a couple of weeks after they install it (no site visits if your lucky) - rent, rates, yada yada yada a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagedude Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I thought you might have gone for it instead of the Blacker ! (though spose it would be a Big.F.O single phase motor for you) I was thinking of powering it via a 16HP Listeroid stationary engine. By the time I'd bought the hammer, found a way of powering it, moved it, installed etc I'd have spent about the same as buying the Blacker and a 25kg Anyang.

" " a 2cwt, (or 3, 5cwt), got it real cheap " "cool, any good?" " well, its in the yard at the moment, ive not quite put it in yet " The only power hammer that is really any good at all is the one thats in your shop, hammering !
