KAKA INDUSTRIAL PPH-500 Pneumatic Planishing Hammer, 19.6 inches Throat Power Hammer Blacksmithing, Planishing Hammer With Steel Frame Stand and Foot Pedal, For Metal Fabrication & Car Restoration

Well made , works good for the price, good for a small shop

This tool is constructed with good quality steel and cast iron, and it works well. I was able to clamp it to my welding table, which I prefer over the stand because of the welding table's weight/stability.My main complaint about the tool is that it's fitted with a non-standard air connector - bigger than 1/4" NPT and smaller than 3/8" NPT. I tried to find an adapter at my local hardware store (which has a pretty decent selection of adapters), and couldn't find one. Instead I cut off the fitting that came from the factory and installed a plumbing fitting plus air compressor fitting (see photos - first one shows how the fitting that came with the tool was a strange size, and the second photo shows the part I replaced it with).Also, the instructions said they're supposed to be two holes in the adjustable pole where you can place the stopper pin, but there's only one (which means it's less adjustable for different anvil heights). Was this a manufacturing defect or incorrect instructions?

I had high expectations after reading reviews, and I was also planning on getting a KAKA Bead Roller. The welds had open areas / not complete / surfaces were scratched in multiple places, not to mention the welds should have been ground down and flush (as pictured in the KAKA images).When I initially returned the item, there was a restocking fee, but I believe that has been removed.I'm only giving a 2-star Review since I did not use the unit. After seeing the welds and general construction, I did not want to test out the unit, based on the low quality control.

works good

Great product, I have put it to use and I’m happy, the fitting was swapped out for air, but o would buy again.

Works great
