[TheForge] Power hammer Vs air hammer (OT)

[Bruce Freeman]

Aw, c'mon.  We can pick nits better than THAT!  You see, even a Little
Giant has a fluid connection between parts - namely the oil layer in the
bearings...

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" ?
