Yeah,
He is not useing the nibbler part, but rather using the bottom of the nibbler ram as a hammer against the small anvil below it.

Kind of a mini air powered pullmax, as it is fixed stroke.

long ago and far away...

If you meant mine, I had best take another.
It will take less time.

Mine were all built around Wray's use of a standard 1" round for a post size.

That also means that it is easy to make a clamp out of the end of a 1" schedule 80 pipe nipple. Schedule 8 has a thick wall so the ID is less than one inch.
Chuck the nipple in a lathe,
drill out to 1"
make two cuts at 90 degrees to each other thru the threads and just a bit past.
I use half a pipe union nut as the clamping ring on the tapered pipe thread.
