[TheForge] Re: Another air hammer question

[ries]

I have had an Anyang since about 2002- and it has had no problems  
aside from one badly tapped hole, which we fixed the first day, and  
the crummy motor starter unit, which I replaced with a Square D.
Still running the original motor, and no problems whatsoever with the  
hammer itself.
Its basically a knockoff of a Chambersburg.
And they are pretty simple machines- much less plumbing than a  
utility hammer like a Big Blu.

But your mileage may vary- I just know mine works when I turn it on.
