a separate air compressor. Other hand-held mechanical adjusting instruments use two basic systems: solenoid-activated and
spring-activated devices. "While both the solenoid and spring-activated units have similar kinetic energy-induced force
displacement curves characteristic of such percussion devices, the solenoid type units are limited by the strength of the coil and
