Thank you Tucker! I have another video to add to the discussion.

While visiting Sid Suedmeier at his Little Giant Power Hammer shop in Nebraska City, NE he explained the differences between the Old and New style Little Giant Power Hammers.

Excellent information from both videos.

I purchased a set of Sid's "interchangeable" dies for my 25 lb. LG and I love the whole set up. My wife typically uses the drawing dies while I typically use the flat dies. Sid's die system makes it very easy to set the die bases so that no matter which dies you are installing, it's just four bolt changes and the dies are always lined up.
