Oh Yeah...them fly presses. 

We just had Brad Silberberg in to do a day of demonstration at the Blacksmith 
Day at Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association in Kinzer, PA.  Very 
impressive tool in the hands of a skilled user. Many of us left feeling we 
gotta have one. I was staggered by how easily he bent a 1" sq bar cold with his 
little 3A. All with no electricity, air or hydraulics. With the right tooling 
you can do amazing things with one of these guys: Make collars, bowls, 
pickets, etc., etc., etc.
