Power Hammers
With all the power hammers on the market today, it is hard to choose which one will work the best for you and for what you are doing. Take a second to think about the shapes you want to achieve and the size of panels you want to work. Now think about the material you want to shape as well as the thickness or hardness of this material. Keep in mind that some aluminums are harder than steel. When choosing a power hammer, or any tool for that matter, you want one that has the option to grow with you as your needs change. If you have questions about power hammers, or need help deciding on what machine would best suit your needs, please give us a call at 530-292-3506 and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Our first model, the “Little Powerhouse Air Hammer” (today called the “Straight-Post Air Hammer”) has been in daily use in our shop since 1984.

I have been enjoying my power hammer a great deal. I have been making many enamel bowls and love how easy they are to from with your hammer vs. traditional stump and hand hammer techniques. See photos...
