Best Budget Air Hammer? Our Power Dyno Finds Out 

Check out our T-shirt store, profits from this week go to buying Long-Barrel air hammers! bit.ly/3z98ryF Designs shown here: bit.ly/3vBCwnF

There's an unsubstantiated rumor going around that we only did a short-barrel episode in order to make more DP jokes. To that we say, even though that rumor started here, in this comment you're reading right now, it's baseless and we don't appreciate the accusation. DP filled in the gaps within the range here as well as any other tool and deserved its spot even if it doesn't always fit in with the others.

Ah, yes, the DP jokes are back!

Just when you had hammered all of the DP jokes as far as you can, you squeezed a couple more in. Very enjoyable episode

Normally I find jokes like this to be annoying but the almost monotone way it was delivered made it great

The jokes… 😂😂😂 Came for the DP ramming, took home the $4 Walmart girl. Wins all around.

Had me in stitches, even the DP flag on the graph. My favourite episodes, as air hammers are a dark magic, with no one really knowing which one is hardest hitting. Great to see this series. Hope a .498 head to head is in the pipe line.

As a tech looking to upgrade my air hammer, these tests are what I look forward to the most

Thank God. I have been begging for more DP!

my coworker bought a DP air hammer, this exact one cuz he needed a cheap go to and let me tell you, this little thing DOES WORK, its taken on most things that you'd need a medium or long stroke air hammer for and still come out on top which is extremely impressive. We've abused it too and its still going strong.

I bought 3 of those from Walmart for 4$ each. Still working. Not the strongest but have done what I needed so far

11:30 - When you pay that much more compared to a cheap DP, I think most people would expect at least a little bit of gapping.

I actually have the walmart one. It really isn't a bad little gun for what it is. But i literally use it once or twice a year and the most intense thing I've ever done with it is remove wheel studs. That said this episode was absolute comedy gold. It makes me want to buy a DP just because.

Excellent sense of humor, and oh yeah, good work too!

This was the best video you guys have ever done. Legendary commentary, Bravo gentleman, Bravo!!

I was pleased to see the DP finish on top. You definitely aren’t an amateur.

Loved this and you had me laughing all the way. Tool tests can be fun. It even reduced the pain of Dewalt trashing their own brand. I have a lot of yellow and black tools and I hope this is not a signal that they are going to ruin the brand.

Always great content and the laughs keep coming. Great job guys.

Love to see a similar video on budget air wrenches and manuel impact drivers. Air hammers, wrenches and the old smash driver are all things I have had quite a bit of luck picking something up out of the $5 special bin with.

You guys definitely have the best commentary! Keep up the good work

This video proved to me that you guys are legit. Thanks for all the hard work.

I'm not sure if I'm watching tool testing or a comedy show. Hilarious! More great content from TTC, Awesome video guys.

Dude your DP comments were brilliant! This is the first video of yours I've seen, I am subscribing after this glorious video. Keep up the awesome, and slightly perverted work.👍🏻

Gotta love a channel with a sense of humor, one good enough it would go right over someone's head if they weren't listening 😂🤘 love it guys

Torque Test Channel if you looked at the sound wave in audacity you could measure the blows per minute/second.

Best presentation :D Got that delivery down. Subbed!

I like the hex shank. Useful for knocking out bearing races.

Love An episode of one liners! We can thank DP for showing us all a great time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Lmao the innuendos at 11:15 really ramped into it just as hard as the DP in the last test.

I was skeptical about DP until you talked me into it, which really makes me question a lot.

I've watched a lot of your videos and bought the Astro palm impact that was your idea! this is an older vid, and I must say I enjoy the embedded humor / sexual innuendo greatly!

You should try some cordless palm nailer just for the heck of it, since they can take air hammer bits

Best channel on RU-vid right now. The DP jokes made it even better. 🤣

I have a Campbell Hausfeld I got when I bought an air compressor and it ain't bad for what it is.

U guys r great hope u both get well soon and look forward to the new videos 💯🇺🇸👍

I’ve had a Silver Eagle (Matco budget brand) long barrel air hammer I bought for $150 with bits off the truck 7 years ago, it’s been beat badly and honestly shouldn’t work but some how it keeps removing u joints, busting ball joints loose, rocking my shake and brake, knocking out rivets and rough cutting sheet metal. I’d buy it over and over again, the only thing I could see myself using a short barrel air hammer for is rivets they’re great for that

Thanks for another awesome video 🙏🙏🙏

Straight up, the dp jokes got me Rollin!

I have been using the Campbell Hausfeld GSD (Get S**T Done) XT101000 Air Hammer for about 2 years now. supper happy with it. its 2.75 inch barrel. I have been super happy with it and i was fairly inexpensive. i think i paid around $45 for it. it also has a very good ergonomic feel to it. and it is very efficient on air. so for a guy with a small compressor it runs a very long time. I have used it to cut the heads of rusty bolts a a jeep yj. it went threw them like a hot knife threw butter. of coarse i was running top quality bits in it though. but the factory bit work well as well.

Thanks for the video

I have a medium barrel Central Pneumatic from harbor freight and it was totally useless. I bought a Chief long barrel from harbor freight and this thing works great.

You all figured a test bed for hammer drills yet ? Maybe a concrete insert tat you drill through with different size bits. An rpm speed test or something

Good year has a short barrel, you can get at Walmart. $25. Has the hex bits also, but they will accept standard .401 Parker bits.

I would love to see Mac/snap-on air hammers vs SDS to test the viability of going electric SDS to replace pnumatic for automotive. I would expect SDS failure

Love the innuendos

That was a hilarious episode!

Got my Campbell for $4 and it's been great

I would be REALLY interested in seeing how corded rotary-hammers compare here. About a year ago I needed an air hammer to loosen some corroded cone washers on an FJ-40 steering knuckle. I don't have an air system in my garage, so I figured the next best thing was to use a corded rotary-hammer in hammer-only mode. How much power was I giving up?? I used the Bauer 1" SDS-Plus 7.3 amp model from Harbor Freight.

TTC always giving the viewers what they want - more DP.

I came for the hammering stayed for the jokes. Great video as always!

Turns out that DP was the crowd favorite. Who'd have thought? DP can indeed be surprising at times however....

Could you maybe hammer on your test stand with like a normal small hand held hammer and a big sledge hammer? Of course that is not super representative because you are probably no where near as strong as me ;-) but it would be use full to get an idea how strong these things are.

DeWalt is very disappointing here, the DP felt great, I mean did great though! 😂

I recently got a ir 119 max air hammer and i love it. I wouldnt mind seeing it on the channel

when i glanced at the thumbnail i thought it said "best budgie hammer" and wondered what the hell you were doing to birds

The most powerful thing on show in this episode is the innuendo

The one thing that I (unfortunately) like about harbor freight products is that I can just walk back in and replace it if it's broken (within reason). More convenient than trying to deal with Amazon / online returns (sometimes).

I'd love to see how a high end 3x or 4x rivet gun would compare to the air hammers you've tested so far.

Ok to make a point about price. If the shipping is high while the price is really low then its just a marketing thing they are doing, Like $4 price and $20 shipping is the same as $24 price and free shipping. So many think they are getting a deal but you are not. Since that was $4 in store then they are just trying to get arid of stock and that is a price drop just to get arid of it for new stock. I think that would normally be around $20 to $24 but I have seen the recently get as low as $15 recently. I always try and find those sell quick discounts on foods and tools. You can save a lot on most the things like that even if they are not the best.

I'd love to see you guys compare those weird flex/ball fittings for air hoses. See how much power is lost from using one, if any.

Walmart changed over the air tools that they carry from Campbell Hausfeld to Goodyear.

It might be fun to test some SDS hammers on this dyno.

campbell hausfeld used to be one of the good tools. I had classmates who got engineering jobs there

Would you be able to test a Chicago Pneumatic 717? (not to be confused with central pneumatic) I've oft heard it called the heavy hitter of air hammers on the market, with good trigger control

You should get one of those "emergency" impact wrenches and see how those things compare to cordless impacts.

Love the hummor

Love the double entendres :)

The DP jokes were epic haha

Does the DeWalt have a blockage on the inlet? Maybe an internal filter, or a mold dag????

Came for the Torque. Stayed for the comedic gold! Nice

just a question that popped into the brain here but why don't you drill a hole in the impact surface on the air hammer dyno?

All the DP jokes!!! Idk how you made this video lol!

I'm curious to know how an SDS hammer compares to an air hammer in erm of power output?

😂 the way u tossed that air hammer

Please review the Sunex SX243. It looks exactly like a Matco that costs 3x the price. In fact I understand the Matco was just rebranded.

Big nasty/CP717, CP714 vs Snap On next please. Enjoyed DP as always.

Can you test the napa 6-1080? If you can find it idk I haven't seen any reviews or anything for it. I'll make my own review after heavy use or even send it in to get it tested

can yall test the accuracy of torque extensions?

What is the vibration magnitude on these, i thought these are bad for the hand arm vibration long term!

DP looks like the right tool for the job if you need to bust some rusty nuts. Could you do SDS hammer drills with this rig?

The first time experiencing DP should always be gentle, afterwards you can really get hammered!

Does it specify the lubing interval with the DP?

How does one lend you their tool for measuring? I'm proud of my big red tool but I do worry it might come up short compared to some of the more expensive ones. Jokes aside, I do have a badass and unique air hammer and I'd love to lend it for a run on your dyno. It'll yeet a wheel bearing straight out of a hub but you can also feather the throttle so slow the hammer barely taps the chisel. I guess send me a message here or let me know if I should reach out to your contact email. I also have a modified $20 special short barrel that buzzes like a bee I'm curious about. Does more faster mean more harder too?

I paid $0.73 each for 2 Campbell/ Hausfield air hammers lol they have put in some work too

Recommendation put the astro big nasty 498 shank air hammer to the test

could you do a test on the Kobalt air hammer?

Someone has a good sense of humor

Can you do a test on the tool truck air hammers

GREAT JOB,,, COULD YOU TELL US WHAT SIZE COMPRESSOR AND HOW MUCH PSI WOULD I NEED TO RUN THESE IMPACT HAMMERS. I HAVE LOOKED AT A SIX-GALLON COMPRESSOR FROM A BIG BOX STORE FOR THE ONLY AIR TOOL THAT I WILL BE USING IT WITH WHICH WILL BE A AIR HAMMER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT REALLY LOVING THIS CHANNEL.

I’d like to see the HarborFreight chief long barrel see how that performs

DP jokes are so good

Hi, I’m very disappointed with the dewalt performance this company always makes an excellent tool! First time for everything! Ty so much for this excellent video, regards, Bob,

Just wondering how would milwaukee m12 auto hammer compare to air?

I think it'd be cool if you do a teardown on that dewalt to see what's going on with that trigger. I suspect that might be where it's losing its power. Also, since I already have the harbor freight short barrel I'm ok with the numbers it put up but I might add the medium barrel to my toolbox just in case I need to move something super stubborn

I can't wait for the long stroke Matco to come out and move the whole building rather than just that little wedge lol

I actually passed on the DP a while back and went for an IR instead. 🤦‍♂️

There were as low as $4 because Walmart was in the process of switching to a Goodyear branded air tools and old packaging is on clearance

if you like DP you should try DVDA.

🤣 on the logo for the DP

Would like to have seen the Ingersoll Rand 114GQC @ $47. Or is it not considered a short stroke and will be reviewed later on?
