I suppose in the end thats going to end up being up to the >individual My only thought here is that if the shanks/flanges you're using are going to need a good bit of traveling, hanging the hammers first with that method seems like it would be a good bit faster. No duplication of effort, i.e. traveling, hanging, then having to travel again. And in a factory setting, especially, speed (and hopefully, accuracy) :-) would be a big factor, I would think. > > .
