I’ve been in the market for a power hammer for quite a while now. Almost every project that comes through the shop needs some degree of sheet metal work and often that involves some pretty complicated shaping. Over the years I’ve accumulated most of the tools necessary for metal shaping including English Wheels, Air planishing hammers, shears, brakes, slip rollers, bead rollers, etc, all the way down to shot bags, hammers and dollies. For really moving metal however, you can’t beat a power hammer for it’s speed and ability to either stretch or shrink. I’m happy to report that we now have a power hammer in the line up and it’s a beauty. Built by Steve Powell of Powell Hammers it’s a Pettingell 2M style hammer and we’re looking forward to putting it through it’s paces. If you’ve got a metal forming project that you need help with, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Weighing in at over 2500 pounds, it’s no wonder Santa had to make a seperate trip!
