I have been around air chisels for at least as long and if you WOULD
READ and understand what you read you would clearly see that I didn't
call it a jackhammer, I used the term to give the other poster an idea
what it does...

paraphrase ( ) n. A restatement in another form or other words...

Now, are you satisfied yet???



To paraphrase, is to redescribe a text or passage in another form or other
words.

You did not do that. You mentioned a much larger tool/piece of equipment,
the jackhammer.


Ok, In my neck of the woods if you mention a Jackhammer a vision of a much
larger tool that is often used to break up concrete comes to mind.

If I said, hand me that hand held pile driver, would you think hammer?
