A great score on some tools

[James Puckett]

I was very lucky today. I was able to get a 3-1 lathe mill-drill press, And a 25lb Little Giant. The hammer needs to be rebuilt. I have a 50lb and a press being built now. I was wondering if I should sell the hammer after I rebuild it or keep it for my shop?

Keep it ! More tools the better .

The main reason I would sell it is that I need a belt sander.

I'm a pack rat. I would agree with Mikey. My wife on the other hand, would not.
Stuff is so hard to come by for me, I would think of it as a back up or a barter tool down the road. I do understand the need for a belt sander though.

2 hammers are nice to have, IF, the dies are interchangeable, or one is much larger than the other and that is not a possibility. If not, it's kind of a pita. You can always park the other hammer in the corner and sell it later. Just tell your wife it's another NECESSARY tool.
