Yes, you have it!
As to why it isn't used more often, I'd like to know the answer to that as
well. Maybe it's because the traditional lever has been getting the job
done for 300 years.
Has anyone tried the impact hammer for more than 6 months and then switched
back to a traditional lever? The technique is certainly different than the
traditional lever so maybe it's simply a matter of staying with what you
are used to.

Hello Corte
Your most "explicit" description has allowed my addled brain access to the
niceties of this "wunder-tool"! I imagine there must be a two-part stem
which, coming to the end of its circular motion, engages impact-wise on
that
part which is on the wrest pin. Have I got the general idea? Sounds quite
ingenious! Why is this tool not more widely known and accepted?
