[TheForge] Power hammer Vs air hammer

[Ries Niemi]

I didnt know you had nits at fancy business schools- they have a 
shampoo for that, I think....
MBA-Qwell, I think its called.

Yust Yoking, as my Finnish relatives would say.

But it seems to me, that, while not PERFECTLY grammatically correct, it 
makes sense to call a hammer that has a continuos mechanical linkage 
between the motor and the top die, a "mechanical" hammer, while calling 
one where the top die and ram is floating, and pushed by air, an "air" 
hammer.

Or would you prefer a "fluidised connection mechanical" as opposed to a 
"continuous connection mechanical" ?
