Big BLU price increase
The price of the Old Blue, Big BLU and Big BLU QC have been under $4,000 US since the earliest models. When these hammers were compared to others in our 1998 review they were the best buy per pound of any hammer on the market. Recent increases in steel prices have forced the price increase, not the recent improvements. The $500 price increase will take effect after the July ABANA conference in Richmond KY.

Bull Hammers defunct
The demise of Bull Hammers is a long sad story. The original owner and designer of the Bull hammer line, Tom Troszak lost control of his company to Vincent Venegoni who offered to invest in the company and instead took over the company forcing out co-owners Tom Troszak and Denise Mills by questionable means. What was supposed to be a bailout became a lockout in February of 2003. Recently, Venegoni and the new operators of the company closed down without notice, owing all their suppliers and advertisers (including us). Their web page is still posted claiming "hammers in inventory" while in reality the company is gone. Tom Troszak continues to design and build custom machinery including power hammers.
