"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Wow, that mechanical hammer (which reminds me of a brace bit) was in BAD shape. Nice restoration work.
I took a quick look at Wikipedia, and it seems like these things are mainly for drilling holes in very hard materials, in order to create, for example, "holes in concrete footings to pin concrete wall forms and to drill holes in concrete floors to pin wall framing".

That was impressive.
I do wish he'd demonstrated its use.
I'm curious how it works and what it does. Almost curious enough to look for a youtube vid.
I have a hand crank drill. I haven't used it in decades but I figure it'll come in handy when the power goes out.
