Several years ago I found that cramming a large table into a small room greatly increased the size of the room. The table invited conversation, ideas, and laughter much more easily than I did. It was a Wednesday in September of 1991 when friends and I first wrestled a wooden spool top up the stairs, oblivious in our excitement to its splinters and rusted nails. By nightfall we had calmed it with offerings of spilled candle wax and red wine. By ten there had begun what came to be known as the Utopia Round Table Meetings.These meetings, more or less centered on figuring out what the idea of utopia was all about, were the best discussions I ever had at Harvard. They would begin tennish every Wednesday and last to the wee hours of the morning. We were not beyond including course material or reading out loud from books, nor were we beyond moaning about relationships gone sour, or abandoning words altogether to play chess. The conversations handdrillpress were intense and spectacular, charged with the unspoken understanding that the round-table meetings themselves were a kind of utopia. Every week we tossed around notions of community and tradition, stability and sterility, free will and free love. Toward the end of the year the meetings felt as if they were rolling toward some kind of climax. Very late one night, with the sun just peeking through the Boston skyscrapers, we put all differences aside and promised to meet in Baja (why Baja, I don''t know) after we had graduated. Amid daring speeches and solemn oaths we signed our names on the wall committing ourselves to launching the real thing--the real Utopia--no matter who we became in the between years.

The 1895 handdrillpress is based on the design of our new 1890 No-Till Air Drill, with two ranks of openers on 10-inch spacing. But the handdrillpress 1895 incorporates a third rank on 20-inch spacing, positioned to place fertilizer lower in the ground and on a separate band from the seed. This separation means fertilizer won''t damage the seed, but newly emerged plants have nutrients available right in the root zone. Team the 1895 with a three-tank 1910 Commodity Air Cart, and you''re puffing seed and pop-up fertilizer through the rear ranks, and high rate fertilizer handdrillpress through the front.

The Tool & Hoist Division of Ingersoll-Rand Co. introduces an advanced air ratchet wrench. The IR1107 3/8-inch wrench has two significant design innovations: a two-speed trigger and an exclusive IR TwinPawl Plus head design, which keeps the parts in alignment. The wrench weighs handdrillpress just 2.5 pounds and has a 360-degree swivel inlet and directional side exhaust.

Thanks to air tools, it''s possible to get even more work done than before, while using less muscle power.Air (or pneumatic) tools are available in a range of prices. If you consider the price of your time, they''re even more affordable. Some of the same benefits can be achieved with electric tools, but air tools often last longer and run cooler than their electric cousins.
