I think he must pump it up with his compressor before using it, because there isn't a spring to be found anywhere in the pictures or drawings.....

If only people realized how useful and coupled with huge dexterity in work holding Keats angle plates are they would put them on there home made tool list straight away. I made a miniature one when i was an apprentice its long gone now.
Great job on the build Rob.

This is my drawbar hammer/wrench. I STILL need to make the cocobolo wood inserts but it's functional as-is, just not as pretty.
