air hammers for stringing

[Diane Hofstetter]

Del,

  Pretty interesting looking tool.  I'm so used to a tool with a trigger and 
handle that it looks like the hand would be in the way of the view of the 
pin??  With no trigger, does it just turn on when you push and let off when 
you lift it off the pin?

  Diane
