    Excellent repair. Far better than OEM. Would it be worth Hard Facing the edges if the customer was willing to pay for it, or better just to replace the parts you made when they wear out?
    I always notice that you don't use side handles on your angle grinders. I know there are times that it gets in the way, but I would recommend using one the rest of the time. I'm old and suffering from a lot of pain and problems from years of hard work and using my body for a tractor, crane, and forklift. Save yourself.

    The plate blowing out of the hammer bottom makes me wonder if the operator runs the hammer "dry", meaning without pressing the tip onto the rock they want to break. Rock or not, all the energy/impulse has to go somewhere, so the case eats it--until it can't, and fails in short order because it's never been meant to take that abuse. Expensive operator habit that'll get someone chewed out real good, but I guess it's job security for you!
