power hammers
Motorized blacksmith tools
Power hammers are mechanical hammers used in metalworking, driven by steam, air, or electricity rather than human muscle.
The hammer head rises and falls repeatedly, delivering blows far heavier and more consistent than a blacksmith could manage by hand.
They revolutionized forging, allowing the shaping of large pieces and high-volume production: The power hammer flattened the glowing steel in seconds.
