Finds: Striker 165 lb. One-Piece Forging Hammer
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006
Ever heard someone say, “If at first you don’t succeed, get bigger hammer?” Well, if you don’t succeed the first couple times you start to get to a hammer like this.
A pneumatic forging hammer is quite a serious piece of gear to have around the shop. A unit like this on brings a falling weight of 165 lbs. to bear every time the hammer comes down, which in this case is an impressive 210 times per minute – or 3 times a second. That’s faster than you can see with the untrained eye.
