Members wolfsdenleather Posted March 24, 2019 Members Report Posted March 24, 2019 Hi, I have a disability with my left hand. I have for the last 2 years or so tried to just keep working and hope that I would beat it. It has actually gotten worse and is now, trying to hold tools in that hand has just gotten to hard. I know that those things aren't being made anymore. I am putting some feelers out there to see if there are any used ones available. Thanks for the help. Randy
ljk Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 I do have a power trip hammer at my Colo. home, but won't be there until June. It runs off a electric motor to a flywheel and has trip lever which can be foot or hand operated. It has a adjustable drop. It weighs about 300 lbs. I just picked it up in June 2018 and broke my femur July 2018 I Can't remember the mfg. I't was in wonderful condition with all the paint on it. If I can remember the name i will let you know. The attachment is very close Let me know if interested tx Lynn

Members buzzardbait Posted March 28, 2019 Members Report Posted March 28, 2019 Someone a while back suggested a tool named the Gravermax made by GRS as an alternative.

Members Deuce Posted September 1, 2019 Members Report Posted September 1, 2019 Any luck in finding a power mallet? I am looking for one as well ....
Members Studio-N Posted September 2, 2019 Members Report Posted September 2, 2019 just use a reciprocating carver. You may have to cut off most of the handle for the stamp to fit in the collet, so don't use your best tools.
