About ST Power Hammers
& Nordic Edge
Most power hammers in China are based on the classic Russian STANKO model, having been developed in the Soviet Union and then advanced over many years as technology upgrades in materials and processing machinery evolved.
The ST Power hammers are made by a Chinese brand “ST Anyang Power Hammers”, originally started by former employees from a larger power hammer manufacturer callled "“Anyang FP” also based in Anyang, China. After a difficult start arguing with Anyang FP about copying their copy of the STANKO, the ST Power hammers now marketed are the “Advanced” series and not the standard “Economy” model initially made.
Being a smaller manufacturer the ST Power Hammer company has been able to rapidly upgrade their model range and today offer a series of advantages over the old model:
Heavier cast frames by 8-10% for increased strength and reduced vibration
Single-piece cast piston for longer life and less wear
Steel bushing rather than copper on connecting rod for improved working life
