SUBJECT: Rawhide hammer for re-pitching bent propeller blades.
Certainly you've had trouble locating a suitable rawhide hammer for use in truing up
those bent propeller blades. Since most hardware stores and tool supply houses carry
only the lightweight rawhide mallet we felt it was necessary to make a suitable
hammer readily available to our dealers for this purpose.
RAWHIDE HAMMER - FOR STRAIGHTENING BENT PROPELLER BLADES.
Shown here is a rawhide hammer that is heavy enough (#3 size) to true up bent propeller
blades with very little effort. Each dealer that has a set of propeller "re-pitching"
blocks (straightening fixtures) will certainly be interested in this item. The use of
this item need not, however, be limited only to straightening propeller blades. It can
also be used to straighten bent anti-cavitation plates, and to remove dents from the
aluminum shrouds of those trade-in engines you are preparing for the coming season.
This item is available through STEVENS EXPERIMENTAL COMPANY, 2015 Grand Ave., Waukegan,
Illinois. This firm is supplying the rawhide hammer at the net price of $4.50 each,
postage prepaid. Incidentally, this $4.50 net price is considerably less than the
average retail price of a #3 size rawhide hammer. Don't forget to include the full
prepayment with your order, and Illinois dealers add 4% for State Sales Tax.
