    Found this gem today while clearing some junk around my office. Its a 1966, but I think because the design carries over from previous models we're OK...:D

    Thought you guys would get a laugh or two...:cool:

    I made my dad an electric hammer, out of used stuff, about 40 years ago. He thought it was funny....

    I once did a gag gift to be used if you come out and your battery has died and you can't start your car. It was a length of cable with alligator clips on one end and a cigarette lighter plug on the other.:D

    I heard of an old body hammer that had an air fitting in the end of the handle that was kept in the tool crib of a previous employer. They'd send newbies in there to get the "air hammer".

    I have one of those hammers but it is a more modern "Cordless Version", just like all my screw drivers....... cordless.

    Probably invented by the same guy who was selling solar powered cloths dryers for 49.95 in the back of magazines. A 20 ft piece of clothes line and ten cloths pins.

    Forget E-Gay, I'd rather do a HAMB auction.

    That reminds me of old timers in power plants sending the kid out for a bucket of steam.
