Does this tool do anything more than a $10 air hammer mounted on a frame
with a foot control? I do understand that I would have to buy some anvils,
and, by the time I am done with the fabricating won't save any money.
However, just wondering.

Thanks,

Well, it IS a $10 air hammer mounted in a frame with a foot control.

It sort of depends on what you want to do with it. Works fine for my
purposes.

THe height adjustment for the anvil tends to jump, but is not a real
problem. The sucker is noisy, as some one else point out it would be,
but that will be true of ANY such tool. To me it was worth the money I
spent.
