Re: Craftsman Auto Hammer B.s.

Interesting concept. I would be skeptical about the 3 1/2" nails though. I own a pneumatic palm nailer and that comes in handy from time to time, but I don't think any cordless could keep up w/ it.

Re: Craftsman Auto Hammer B.s.

I was wondering how they get the hammer effect at 90degrees. Is it a solonoid and slug or some kind of rotor that strikes once or twice a revelution. I want to tear one apart and see how it works!

Re: Craftsman Auto Hammer B.s.

I've not ever seen one. It comes with a heavy price tag for a hammer. Did you see that $99 wow...Id think I'd rather invest in a good chord less drill.

I would bet it is an electric magnet and a spring. Same way the custom car guys open the doors. When they shave the handles.

I was thinking of that maybe it discharges a capacitor thru the coil to give a burst of thrust? then recycles the cap for next blow. I still want to take one apart but not for $100

Re: Craftsman Auto Hammer B.s.

I doubt it is that high tech. I think it is a motor operated cam that operates the piston/striker.

Sounds like we can all make our own with an old sawzall and a steel slug...may be a little cumbersome.

Re: Craftsman Auto Hammer B.s.

Seems like it would only work with smaller sized nails, maybe some finish nails. But I don't think I'd wanna do finish work with that.
