- Tucked away in a Cudahy warehouse something big has been pounding away since 1959. In fact, it's one of the biggest of its kind in the world.
“It’s loud. It’s smokey. It’s dirty. And it’s intimidating if you’ve never seen it before," Steven Panasuk said.
It's called the 85 Hammer. It weighs over one million pounds, and it’s five stories above ground and five stories below ground. The counterblow hammer was installed in 1959 and the media, let alone the public, rarely sees this in action. The 85 Hammer is located inside ATI Forged Products in Cudahy along South Packard Avenue.

My dad running that hammer!!
Yes he is!! ❤
Your dad is cool👍👍✌️
I genuinely find massive industrial machinery super interesting just seeing the pure industrial might of humanity the hundreds of people it takes to run one of these machines is so badass
They need to cultivate industrial and engineering appreciation in middle and high schools.
@@williambarry8015 agree
@@williambarry8015they used to. Back when we had an industrial society. Now our society and economy are based around service...
What an beautiful piece of machinery. I'm glad it's still running.
One of the sounds of my childhood
Mike Rowe needs too make a video on this!!
I remember my dad taking about Ladish. He knew them from when he worked on gyroscopes for the Apollo.
ATI is top notch, they have the "only one place in the world can make this" market cornered.
I know with a very high degree of certainty that China has one in production, and a second that has to be very close to completion. Forging is something state actors with deep pockets can produce. A market cornered is a market lost.
The true "most powerful hammer."
I'd put a pair of humongous googly eyes on it.

Googly eyes is funnier.
I worked at ATI in Monroe, NC. They were building what they called “ The Worlds Largest Forging Press “. So my question is which one is the biggest?
A machine so specialised that it is its own natural monopoly. There is literally no market for another.
I have been here in real lige doing fire alarm and fore spronkler system inspection and upgrades and system add ons and man when they turned it on when i was there it was so loud you could feel it in your chest and body and would shake the whole steel meill stephen is a great guy and knows that hammer like its hos own body and basically was passed down from his dad to him at ati
Iowa Precision Forge for 45 years. The perfect job. Get to play with fire. Make all the noise you want. And you get paid for it.
That's The Real Deal! Loved The Work Detroit Michigan!!
I feel like we could start a real life 'Jaeger program'
its tucked away but there is video footage of it making parts for nasa and so on, it is the largest counterblow in the world, so the biggest of its type and it hits even harder its said since it was rebuilt, but its been seen a few times on video, has the power of some of the largest forging presses in the world that includes the ones in china or in that category, and has been going since the stated 1959
My father did 35 years at Ladish and was the 1st shift manipulator operator on the 85. I recall having to go through FBI/government background investigations for a defense department project he was involved with. More to the story but yea Ladish made Cudahy back in the say.....
I wish I could work in a forge shop. I hae a weak heart so I couldn't stand the heat. We had a forge shop in my hometown but it closed. The people I know from there are some of the people I respect the most.
................... FORGED IN FIRE ...............
Hammer Time ⚒️
It's intimidating whether you've seen it before or not, I would say
0:28 it looks like some fire breathing instant death machine you might find in a film.
It's beautiful....
That would be cool to see.
Is it bigger than big mesta?
Gonna put my hand in it
Big hammers go boom!
Hephaestus' Hammer
I want to work here
🔥
How is it rated I seen 50k hammer as far as I knew it was the biggest in the states..just anvil of 50 is 1 million
I watched the whole thing and i still doont know where it is. Cut-a-hay? Where is that?
Cudahy, WI near Milwaukee
Why use hammer instead of molding? Strength? Or what?
Metal has a grain. When you cast metal, you lose the grain. When you forge metal, you reshape the grain, hence it’s stronger.
@@robertdaniels1269+ denser
Its like the difference between a 16 oz steak and 16 oz of ground beef made into the shape of a steak. Same basic material, same weight, same shape but totally different in internal structure.
@@brianthesnail3815Best explanation I’ve ever seen. I’ve worked in forge shops a lot in my life. My dad was in management in the 50s at Ladish and helped with the troubleshooting of jobs on that hammer after installation.
Nice… I wonder what happened to your “Mighty Fifty”
Hoffa was there briefly
If i had a hammer 🎶 i could hammer in the morning 🎶 🎤
💪⚒️
WHAT?
CAN YOU REPEAT?
I know he said something.
It's very dangerous jobs
I can take it in a fight
Or another loud continuous pounding you might hear is me slaying poon.
Rosie and her sisters
Stop lying. You and I both know the only poon you ever touched was your mom's, when you fell out of it.
Tell her I said hi, by the way.
What will happen if a human falls in ?
Red mush
@@jamesfaller5680 damnnnnnn!!
Um... I think they might change shape ever so slightly and cease to do that thing essential to living called breathing.
That hammer ain't shiii. Look up the hammer in my home state in cudahay, Wisconsin. 10 stories tall 🤣
That's literally the hammer featured in this video. You're talking about the same hammer.
dumbass....
If you think this is a large hammer. Check out the hammers that forge jet engine parts..
You must not have watched the video.
Before the plandemic we spent a bunch of money...*gulp.
