[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3102875, member: 93138"] For what it's worth, hydraulics means the use of any fluid, not just oil. NOT that I suggest or recommend it, but you could be using Glenfidditch 12 year old Scotch to form cases and it's still "hydraulic". Friend of mine's step-dad holds a patent on the design of a hydraulic pump that uses sea water for the hydraulics on a deep sea submersibles. Can't contaminate the ocean will hydraulic oil if there is no oil to start with. Bonus is no reservoir needed since the machine is operating [I]in[/I] the reservoir. Sometimes a lot of energy applied extremely rapidly works better than the same amount of energy applied slowly. Hitting the plunger with a hammer will spike the pressure very rapidly. No idea if that works better than using some sort of pump. It might work considerably better, it might work the same, and it might not work as well. I'm curious if anyone has experimented with this. And, as a good friend taught me, it is easier to hit something lightly with a big hammer than it is to hit something hard with a small hammer. Put the 8oz. Ball-Pein hammer away, dig out the 2 lber.
