[TheForge] But how fast does the Alldays & Onions go?

[robert hensarling]

Some hammers had an opening in the cast iron structure so that the steel
you're working with can pass through the opening, and continue out the back.
I can't tell if this one does or not.  Do you know what it's rated at,
pounds wise?  It looks like a great mechanical hammer, I wish I had it!
However I still have my Little Giant 250 pounder, so I better not try to get
any more.  The only hammer I use anymore is my Tom Clark Sha-Ha (sp) and 100
pound little giant.  I'd kill to have what you have though.  I
wonder what it's value is?
