I used to hate power hammers until I watched one work for an hour

Last weekend I stopped by a shop in Birmingham and watched a guy use a 50 lb Little Giant to draw out a 2 inch round bar into a leaf spring in like 15 minutes. I've always been a hand hammer guy because I thought power hammers were cheating or something, but seeing how consistent his blows were changed my mind completely. The metal moved so much faster and it made me realize I'm just wasting time swinging a 3 lb hammer for hours. Has anyone else switched over after seeing one in action?

Saw a similar demo at a hammer-in last year and it changed my mind too. What made you think they were cheating before you actually watched one work

Can't believe you actually thought people were faking pressure washers, of all things, at a hammer-in.
