LEARN HOW TO MAKE YOUR LITTLE GIANT POWER HAMMER WORK HARDER THAN EVER!
In 1991, Sid Suedmeier, having recently acquired the dusty remains of the Little Giant business, hosted his first Little Giant Hammer rebuilding class.
The class and Sid were taught by good friend Fred Caylor of Zionsville, Indiana, at that time one of few authorities on these antique machines. As Fred grew older, Sid took over teaching the class, and has taught at best count 27 classes.
Sid sold Little Giant, the parts and repair business, to his long time machinist in 2013, and In 2021 the business made a move to good and capable friends, David Sloan and Doug Klaus.
This 2 1/2 day class is a hands-on format. You will help transform a 25 LB Little Giant hammer from sloppy to sharp.
This year, an old style 25 LB Little Giant will be rebuilt during the class, and other styles of machines will be on hand to demonstrate and discuss proper assembly, adjustment of machine styles.
IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE GIANT, THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU!
No experience is required to attend this class. Past students have ranged from age 15 to 90, and from all walks of life.
Anyone who wants to learn will benefit from this class. We approach the rebuilding process using tools that can be found in the average home workshop.
If you are in the market to buy a power hammer, this class will make you an educated shopper. If you already own a Little Giant, or any other brand of power hammer, this class will teach you how to get the best performance possible.
The class tuition is $115, and advance registration is required. Class size is limited. Lunch will be provided both days.
The class starts at 9 AM sharp on Friday, and usually ends by Saturday evening. We will also be available on Sunday until noon, in case we encounter any exceptional problems in rebuilding, and to answer any remaining questions.
