Pushing the foot pedal causes the rotating aluminum wheel to spin against the tire. This spins the tire. The hammer head system on the hammer, is attached to the tire in an off center position. This moves the hammer head up and down. Once I get things situated, I'll take a video of it. That might be more clear. <br />These hammers that I have are relitively light. Weighing in at less than a ton and doing about 50-60 pounds of force per blow. The bigger hammers can weigh in over 4 tons and have several hundred pounds of striking force.Master Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972326296201406890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763402384150792982.post-1527363998285511812012-01-09T20:14:50.827-08:002012-01-09T20:14:50.827-08:00I didn't realize those power hammers were so h...I didn't realize those power hammers were so heavy!
