1950s Kango Jackhammer [Restoration]
It's nice to work with aluminum for a tool restoration. This tool is a Kango Jackhammer (Type E) from the 1950s. I believe type A, B, C, D came before it with the Type A starting in the 1930s. All labelled parts seem to be made in England.
It was really nice to see ZERO rust for a change as most parts have been soaking in oil, forever. I couldn't get the part where you insert the chisel to unscrew from the main casting, possible due to dissimilar metals corroding over time. The jackhammer was extremely dirty inside, to the point that the brushes and rotor we covered as well. Once cleaned up, the motor started working again.
The jackhammer does not have a lot of power (~only 500 watts) and the hammering action activates only when you push down on the chisel. This makes for an odd user experience. It also has ZERO anti-vibration designs and shakes my hands like crazy. The insane vibration and super cold temperatures annihilated my hands in short order.
I remade the name plate strip on photoshop and had it printed on clear vinyl. I thought stamping the main casting would look nice and keep longer so I went with that option. In the future I hope to get a small CNC router or high-powered laser engraver so properly remake metal name plates/tags.
