Excellent video, very informative with adjustments for your power hammer. After watching the first DVD, I was able to fine tune my power hammer to purr like a kitten. The projects included will be fun to try as well. But if you own a power hammer, this is a must see video so you can maintain it at it's peak performance level.
Great instructional material explaining the setup of a Little Giant power hammer.
Good instruction on using and tools for any power hammer.
If you like the technical stuff and want to set-up your hammer correctly, this is a great choice.
