"TRIP" is a dirty four letter word around this shop! Our hammers run on 80 PSI. Most any shop compressor with 60 gallon tank will do. Only the best cylinders and valves are used. The hammers are welded steel body's that are hollow. After the hammers are bolted down where you want them, the frame can be filled with approximately 500 pounds of sand. This makes the hammer very solid and quiet.
We have also converted a number of "Little Giant" mechanical trip hammers to air.
A video demonstrating these hammers is available. The video shows Jim making hand tools, and using the hammer for various other applications, such as: Eye drifts, punching holes, cutting stock, fullering horseshoes, and riveting tongs.
