[TheForge] Little Giant power hammer belt

[Phil]

Industrial supply places like McMaster Carr typically carry this type of belting and the nifty staple thingies.  If you live in a semi-major metropolitan area, check your yellow pages under "Belting and Belting Supplies".

>The belt on my 25-lb. Little Giant is getting more than frayed. It's

>tighten the belt once it's on (although I'd have to work through some
>layers of paint to loosen the bolts.) That would be much better than
