Although the pictured workwear may be questionable, this week’s cool tool is not.
The tool being demonstrated by my daughter Ali is a mini jackhammer (also known as a rotary hammer).
This tool is handy for many tasks but in this case, Ali used it to jackhammer compacted dirt on a steep grade around a foundation to gain access to the back of an outbuilding.
The compaction was too great for a shovel, but the mini jackhammer did the job in close quarters where a regular jackhammer would be overkill.
Next week -- a battery powered cool tool demonstrated in appropriate clothing.
