I paid $40 for this electric hammer, did i get ripped off?

Nope. I bought mine for $320.
Its a bit bigger than the one pictured, but it really helps keep the workpiece at a good workable temperature.

Less time your piece spends in the forge the better.

I'd say you got a bargain

You need an adapter for it to work underwater.

16A/gal is about $15.
Get one with undercurrent protection if you plan to use it in the ocean.

And every ounce of my being will be put into producing a behind the scenes look at people like that. There is a middle ground between pipe dreams and money and this guy found it. Sharks brfo him. They FOREVER lost a fan and partner. Win lose or draw ALL of my 18 pickups will be self driven down to get an install just as i spent 250 bucks at my bros comic shop the other day. Yes i want to be rich. Yes i will be. No, I WILL NOT be a cocksucker about it. We can al make money. These faggots look at nothing but the bottom line and numbers. Wtf would happen if they handed this dude seeking 100k 1 mill? He gonna biy bloe and hookers??? Fuck no. He would rurn his mole hill into a mountain and his rich rown would lov u

Yes. All the people in the thread are acting like it's some kind of made-up object. The original artist who made the image didn't seem to know about that heated hammers are used in smithing.

Traditionally the main hammers are placed close to the forge when in a smithing session. The point of this is to heat it up, and actively work the steel with a heated hammer.

What happens if the hammer isn't heated up is that a) the steel loses its forging heat faster (making it harder to forge) b) the surface of the steel is cooled faster than the inner parts of the steel (which can result in cracking, and c) a cold hammer is actually slightly too hard to work the steel.

Some smiths even preheat their anvils, as most of the heat loss is through there, but it takes a lot of energy to heat it up and then keep it warm. The excess heat also makes the anvil too soft, as it's made of inferior steel (compared to hammers). So most smiths just heat their hammers instead.

In the past only the heat from forges/smaller fires was used to heat hammers (and anvils), but later developments allows smiths to use electric heating pads for hammers as well as electric resistors inside both hammers (like in OP's pic) and inside the actual anvils.

I'm a blacksmith by profession and I prefer to use both heated hammers as well as heated anvils to extend the time the steel has forging heat, and to prevent cracking. It's much easier to focus on the work, and getting each stroke exactly right, once you have a bit extra time. Having both a heated anvil + hammers gives you 10-15 seconds extra to work each piece of steel.

Interesting. It would be easy to make a hammer heater from an LP gas ring and a shop-made stand. You could check heat with an IR thermometer.

An ingenious answer. You got a smile from me and even a chuckle! One (You) for you.

A friend went on a job to Germany, asked me what I wanted as a souvenir.
Since we were both mech engineers, I asked for a metric hammer and metric adjustable wrench.

He found both.

Not sure why they stopped carrying it

I was kinda hoping it would look more like a hand powered drill.

>>1164269
gan members were using it to garrotte and behead people. same reason city wal•marts and home depots don't sell things like cattle prods and machetes anymore.
