I've seen these used for everything from bending the bezel over to using carving tips to do bright work and engraving The one that I saw used was like a miniature air hammer. I've searched all over but can't find it anyone know who sells them?

Similar but it was an actual hammer not not a rotary tool,
Go-to 16:09 you can see the tool he uses

The Whaley hammer tool looks cool, but at nearly $50 most people could get by with a $10 chasing hammer and homemade punch. I can see how it could be useful for someone who has some muscle motor issues but, for others, becoming adept at hitting a punch with a hammer while focusing on the punch/bezel contact point doesn't take very long. I wonder how many people who set girdled stones do hammer setting. I suspect that it's a relatively small percentage with the majority using a bezel pusher. But what do I know? I almost never use a bezel pusher and almost never set girdled cabs.
