I worked at a mass Habitat build weekend in east Houston several years back. One volunteer team in addition to us worked on a house. Those college kids were fascinated with the "power hammers" they used. We used the same tools, except ours were called nail guns.

I don't care how much you had to pay for that Little Giant.
You ****!
Awesome score !
Buddy of mine has a 25 lb and a 100 lb.
Nothin like sticking a chunk of glowing steel in one of these and letting it do its thing.
Keep us posted on getting it set up and running !

I'm no expert, but if that belt is leather wouldn't that age it to before World War 2? Just curious.
