The numbers I gathered a few years ago suggest that you can either increase the jump distance by over 300% or the jump height by over 700%, depending on how you use the Impact Hammer. For maximum height, aim straight down, for maximum distance aim at an angle so that you can still hit something while doing a running jump.
