If you ever watch a television show called "Monster House" on
the Discovery Channel, they did a race car themed house where
the kitchen had a series of overhead pull-downs like those found
in automotive workshops. One of the pull-downs was an air powered
drill with a whisk attachment. Sounds similar to what you are
describing.
