Air Hammer

[Joseph Garrett]

Terry,
The tip you have is about 1/2 the size of the one I have. It's the spring
loaded "sleeve" that I'm talking about. It's ID is .50" and that's just too
big to be of any use except pounding railroad spikes and 10/0 tuning pins.
:-) The "magnetic" tip that came with it, is probably an ok diameter, but I
don't like the magnetic aspect. (Hmm! I wonder if anyone has done a study of
magnetism in regards to piano strings?) Besides, the "magnetic" one is
miss-bored and is off center of the center of the tip. What else would I
expect for something from China? Dummy me! :-)
Regards,
Joe Garrett
