I'm considering (thinking only) about buying a new air hammer. What are
the primary differences, etc. and your experiences with whichever one
you have experience with? If you were buying one, which would you buy
and why? (I would consider a used one that suited my needs.)
I have an air compressor that will run most hammers (7.5 hp/ 175 psi/ 25
cfm).
I have a Moloch (Little Giant pattern) 25 lb in great shape, but it is
limited in it's use and I like the features of slow hitting, holding,
multiple die set ups, etc. I would buy something in the 100 lb
(approximate) range.
My preferences so far, just by looking at web sites and literature, are
either the Big Blu or Phoenix. But I have NO first hand experience with
anything my my little Moloch.
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.
