I had a Steamroller made by a company of the same name. It was about the size of a paper towel tube with an integral bowl. The hole in the bowl fit a joint or you could just pack it. This one hits just as hard and just as good from what I remember(the 80's was quite a few lbs ago, lol). This is a great piece and it's not all that hard to clean either I used 91% alcohol and it's probably easier to clean with 93%. In my opinion if you're thinking about buying one, don't hesitate.
