Excellent! Definitely the kind of tool (like engine hoists, ball-joint separators, steering wheel pullers, and a lot of baby clothes) that should be available to loan, in a perfect world.
I’ll kick in $5 for the pay-per-view Opening Night special.

This is clearly one of those cases where one like is not enough. Awesome idea! 
Although, realistically, just having that same machine brute force it (try every combo, not the other type of brute force) would probably be in the range of 10 to 1000 times faster.

I’m with Rob, I would totally clean that thing up and use it as an end table. If @Mister44 dropped in for a visit and wanted to get hammered, we could put his hogleg in it!

My… my what now? Is that a euphemism?

You mean the 44 isn’t for .44 caliber? Well now I’m embarrassed.

I’ve never heard it called a hog leg…
Closest I’ve seen is a cut down lever action refereed to as a mare’s leg.

There was also a 6 foot tall version. @mister44 could bring a couple rifles and you’d still be… Safe.

huh, I’ll be damned, it does look like a hog leg, dunnit?
I’m glad you spoke up, because I was confused, too. I’ve heard a piece of road that bends sharply and then sharply back to the prior general direction called a dog leg, but the only thing I’ve ever heard called a “hawg leg” was I think an in-joke with the skaters I used to hang out with: when they went in on a whole eighth of bud and threw it all into a single blunt. I guess because it was hard to keep it a perfect cylinder.

I’ve heard large pistols (dunno if specifically .44 caliber) referred to as hoglegs in fiction of sufficiently hard boil.

And I’d have sworn up and down that Rooster Cogburn referred dismissively to Mattie carrying her father’s old hog leg around, but it’s not in the scripts online of either version of “True Grit”. I’ve certainly heard it in some western or other.

That video turned out better than I was expecting.
When my much older brother took me shooting when I was but a wee lad, he let me fire a few rounds from his .44 Magnum. He’d load his own ammo, so the first couple of loads were light and thirteen year old me could handle the kick.
The third round was hot (i.e. - lots of powder) and put me on my ass.
And, yes, I would refer to a larger revolver as a hog leg.
