Review on Astro Pneumatic Tool 4980 0.498" Shank Heavy-Duty Air Hammer/Riveter by Chris Sisley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Biggest and Nasty

Only just received but so far it lives up to the Big Nasty hype. I installed the keyless chuck head, lubricated it and started it up. First impression: THOR'S HAMMER! This thing shakes your whole body as it vibrates. Ben Wah has nothing on this nasty instrument. Before I got down to serious work, I quickly found a piece of wood and split it in half! THAT'S RIGHT, I've been chopping wood and losing souls with that Valyrian steel airhammer! I ended up letting my eldest son and wife taste it, and they barely had time to pull this behemoth off before exiting my garage, exclaiming that it was "too much" and "too loud." If you have something to get done and need to work all weekend, then this is the tool for you!

Pros
  • Great Overall Performance
Cons
  • Volume
