A big 110v saw on legs
I have the identical model, my father bought it for me in 1956 I think. Still in the original cardboard box.
That's the first opportunity I normally get to go to the workshop!I thought I was the only person out in the workshop at 9pm
I've got something similar....came in very handy for curing paint on my callipers.
D-shaped head for those very rare occasions when one needs to set a nail in a corner; however, the curved claw negates getting in to tight areas to remove nails, so it should have had a straight claw.Im ashamed to say ive not bought a new hammer since the early 90s, they are the sort of thing that seem to multiply and just appear!
Anyhow saw this Estwing and thought it looks a bit different with the D shaped head so we will see how it goes

If your that tight into a corner you wont get claws on it whatever the shapeD-shaped head for those very rare occasions when one needs to set a nail in a corner; however, the curved claw negates getting in to tight areas to remove nails, so it should have had a straight claw.
That is exactly what I wanted...lolI got myself a manual pallet stacker.

Hopefully, it will make loading and offloading things easier and safer than my abused chinese engine crane (it is still hard work pumping and pumping and pumping though).
1 ton capacity (depending on the size of the load, where it sits on the forks and height).
I did have to use the chinese engine crane to offload it (the borrowed trailer has got no ramps).

Got a chance to quickly try it out this evening with a Startrite TA1250 table saw.

I chickened out that this height and took a photo.

Got a little braver and went a little higher.

It was not completely maxed out but pretty close. It sure is scary pumping away with all that weight on the forks.
It just about fits in the garage.

Hopefully the pry bars will perform better than the limp Sealey ones they’re replacing.
