    Andy,There is a hammer handpiece that is different than any I've ever
    used! I have had it for 15 years! It's still working great! It is
    different in that it comes off the flexshaft at right angle!The
    advantage to this, is you can rest the connection to the shaft to the
    hammer between your thumb and forefinger,grasping almost like a
    pencil. Instead of contorting yourself to direct the working point.
    You can also SEE what your are doing. It is quite a simple piece, and
    has interchangeable tips. I use a torqued or geared down speed and it
    has lots of punch.I don't know what I'll do if it dies! I did buy
    two(on the second)so one may be used for parts(I also have a
    "blueprint" diagram) BUT I cannot find the company (Austian Creations)
    that made it! If anyone has a lead or idea how to search for this
    Co.please advise. Happy Hammerin, Thomas Blair
