Microcosm air power hammer P-50 w/ vintage Jensen #25
« on: March 20, 2023, 09:46:00 pm »
I just received the air power hammer P-50 from China today, right now I'm really fond of this thing, after having run it for a while I found that it likes moderate speeds to have a nice controlled & regulated hammer motion, to fast & it'll "float" out. the hammer part at the end of the piston is adjustable with a very fine thread to "dial in" the hammer action. it has a foot feed & a hand control both of which work very smoothly. it weighs just under 2 lbs. & the only issue I've found so far is the screws that hold the unit to the wood base was loose & it flopped around a bit, it did have a small chip out of the base as well (very minor) I got it for the single bid of $100 + $45 shipping & tax. the Jensen #25 runs it easily.

Sweet Bruce, wow...Microcosm is producing some fine engines and accessories.  That hammer is more intricate than anything sold for use with model engines...love the foot vs. top handle for actuating.

Incredible accessory that looks as though it would be a bargain even at twice the price!

Something else to covet?

The video is well done, too. 

Congrats,

they come up for sale here quite often Jim, I could have bought 2 at nearly the same time for their initial starting bid. I've been wanting one for a while & I was not disappointed when I received this one.

that thing is really cool, like they took a real one and zapped it with a shrink ray!
