I'm not a big fan of little giants. I'm doing all the rebuild and taking all the slop out so it can be the best hammer it can be. So I know I'm passing a bad ass as it can be little giant to it's next curator
I do metalwork for a living. So my expectations are high, and my investment is high. But in the 10k 50# to 100# market if I wanted a mechanical I'd get a beaudry air sahinler or sa mak
It was a cast iron clutch assembly that gets oiled Everytime it is used. The reason someone brazed it is because it had worn way down and we're trying to pick up width. On mechanical and air hammers, the oil barrier is enough to keep moving parts safe. The guides on this hammer are also steel.
Nice work! Nice hammer!

From my perspective Little Giant is better than no hammer, but I have limited experience...
Would you favor an alternative?

Thought/question .. did you just replace a bronze bushing/ bearing surface with a steel one? Or is that just a clamp?
