1 little thing

I purchased this for use as a professional auto mechanic and have used it several times over the week. The thing work good and does what you expect it to. Hits hard and fast and knocks the the heck out of whatever you point it at. The 1 little thing is the air inlet. If you look real close you will... read full review »

My Craftsman Medium Duty Impact Hammer worked well for awhile but DIED.  It ONLY left the air go thru but wouldn't hammer.  On 10/13/11 I took it back to my local Sears store ONLY to be told that it WASN'T covered by WARRENTY.  I have bought a lot of Craftman tools in my life but DON'T feel that

I thought the air hammer worked terrific in the welding field. There is no knob to control how fast you wanted it to work, its all in how hard you press the trigger, making it more convienent and working faster.

Great tool for the price....

This tool saved my butt big time.I had to remove aluminium from a pump shoe that had been mated with steel and lots of salt water.A 3 Lb. sledge hammer and punch wouldn't touch it.I got his tool in haste and it didn't let me down,it made the aluminium fly right out.Amazing tool for a super price,I would highly recommend..

After purchasing thishooking it up, the internal valve would not cycle unless you shook the tool. I exchanged ti for another one, and the second unit worked better than the first, but the valves still bind up causing air to blow air through without actuating the hammer.

I had high hope for this tool, since it fits nicely in the hand-not too big or too small,and it is better balanced than some of  the more expensive composite or aluminum models. Unfortunatel, the composite valvebody has much left to be desired in its construction. If that is redone, this would be a fine tool for almost anyone to...
