[TheForge] Another air hammer question (B B Vs. TC Turk)

[Ron Childers]

Big Blue used to finance; does anyone know if they still do? Rick gives Jeff
a lot of grief about how much cheaper a Big Blue is than a TC which may be
true if you don't need a new compressor to run it.

>From what I can tell, both are good; I just have much more experience on the
Tom Clark Turk and it has held up under much heavy pounding. It is like the
BMW or Mercedes argument, I guess. 

James, if you can get over to Tallahassee I will be glad to give you a ride
on the Turk. You should try several different hammers under heavy loads,
etc. I have a friend in Jacksonville who has a 350# Chambersberg... I'm
going to see if I can wear it out in a day.

BIG BLUE's are nice if one has the cash...

Rick @ Bear Creek Metal Craft has used a Big Blue for 5 0r 6 years and
wouldn't trade it for anything. I have seen him attack some big honking
chunks of iron on it. He also works in his shop all day every day.
