@robertmwhidbey No plans, I modeled it after another one called the North Carolina Junk Yard Hammer. If you google "NC-JYH tire hammer" you will find it.

Man that thing hits so hard it send out a shock wave to the camera. LOL Anyways nice looking hammer. I wonder if it would hit harder if you had a stronger spring?

[Feukair]

@TheManFromAlaska I can tighten the spring some, right now I have it set where I'm comfortable with how it hits.

How much did it cost to build?

[Feukair]

@thechoreographer I scrounged spare parts for a while, had to buy the drive motor and spindle for the tire and a few of the steel parts. So i cant say for sure, I probably spent about $250 on it, would have been a lot more if i had to buy everything.

@gocartking Thanks Sam, it's not the prettiest junk yard hammer but it saves me alot of work, or it will now that I'm done spending my time on making it and can start using it...
