I am heavy duty truck mobile road service. This tool transcends from being a tool into being a literal human body saver!!! I can push out truck drag links, with out having to beat out with the BFH.

At 76 years old it has made possible extended work years. Every service truck needs this tool, along with a .401 shank as this tool literally has the power to decrease wear and tear on the body!!!!

@billcovert3473 Жыл бұрын

Big Nasty is on a roughly par with a 10lb. sledge with a 14" handle. The hammer with a uninhibited vertical swing can generate more impact, with a descending energy curve relevant to the amount of work needing to be done. The tool life time is measured in shoulder rotator cuff tissue. Big Nasty can deliver more energy in horizontal work, both with the work person in standing, kneeling but especially when lying on your back under a piece of equipment [ear protection suggested] positions. This has been field tested. Samuel Colt is said "to have made all men equal", just with the pull of a trigger. Astro has made possible big hammer work possible in tight, cramped, awkward positions.

Second that. I have the same one. Don't know any numbers, but it's the hardest hitting hammer I've ever used.

Have a look at the "CP4611 DULER / Chicago Pneumatic" rivet buster, they are like a middle ground between air hammers and pneumatic breakers, would love to know how hard they hit.

Can you test soldering iron brands? Electric vs butane too.

Since y’all have developed such a great test rig for air hammers, would it be possible to do a video on aircraft riveters? 2X, 3X, and 4X being in the .401 chuck and 5X, 7X, and 9X in the .481. I believe these are a “Beans” rating based on internal hammer weight.

My friend has a 3' millstone that is bolted to a rusty axle - that is his challenge piece. Unseat the nut without breaking anything is the challenge. Finding the tool that will do it is the most difficult part.

Atlas Copco makes some of the best rivet guns for aircraft manufacturing. I used a 10P large bore push to start recoilless for years. It smacks hard and is easier for both the bucker and shooter. It probably compares to these. I’d have to pull up the specs from them and do a spec chart comparison.

Cheese and crackers, that thing has some beans. I own a snap-on, because 6 years ago I bought the best, it's cool that there are some more serious options these days.

I have a Cornhole air hammer and it's weak sauce the barrel won't stay put and needs constant tightening and it's far too long for what I need it for! Worked great when I got it in the body shot to peel door skins! But not so much as I'm moved back to mechanics

@kylefleetwood9572 Жыл бұрын

You should measure the weight of the air hammer like the actual part inside that slides back and forth. Then use its weight and speed to calculate force
