Default Re: Tungsten Dead Blow™ Piston

Yes and no.

The SS handle is made to fit the Palm Control but if you take a rubber stopper (I can't remember if a #4 or #5 worked best), trim it to fit the recess in the handle, and then drill a hole into but not through the stopper it works great on the Classic. The same thing should work for the Artisian.

I drilled the hole (1/2" diameter) leaving about 1/8" of solid rubber to seal the top of the open piston. It fits very tightly on the tool (which is what you want) and then snugs nicely into the SS handle so it holds well. Technically all you need is something to plug the open end of the cylinder - you can hold your thumb over it and the tool will work. Everything else really just makes it easier to hold, although as mentioned the extra mass of the SS handle seems to give about 10 - 15 percent more power.
