I just bought a nearly identical Dayton from Tommie and I could not be happier. I knew before I got done screwing mine together that it was what I was looking for. I bounced it on it's bumper once and knew from the way it shuddered that the hit was going to be electric. It is. This one is almost a twin to mine. The shafts are heavy with very dense growth rings. Is this one brand new, straight from Mr. Dayton, too?
