I'd like it.

But, I've got a few tools in line - in front of it.

Could I see this thing in action if I visited a local Sears tool department?

There are videos on the web that show the electric hammer being used to drive nails that are several inches long in tight places where swinging a hammer is difficult, such as nailing joist hangers for a deck.

It took a 3/4 inch roofing nail to the local Sears and tried it in the hammer.  It will not sit straight in the barrel of the tool, so I don't think the hammer would be useful for driving such nails.  The market for an electric hammer that would drive small nails and brads is larger than the market for driving heavy construction nails.  Contractors have pneumatic nail guns that work well.  But people doing crafts  often don't use pneumatic tools because air compressors are noisy and cumbersome.  Electric or manual staplers and brad drivers do not work well, as can be seen from reading consumer reviews on the web.  Craftsman should make a hammer for driving small nails.  I would enjoy having an electric hammer that could drive short roofing nails that are difficult for me to hold while I strike them with an ordinary hammer.  I'd also like to have an electric brad driver and staple gun with a magazine where the head exerted a repeated hammering action.  With the conventional one shot drivers, you often have to hit the brad or staple with an ordinary hammer to completely set it.

That is exciting new, Adam, and I was hoping to find something for an infant in "My First Craftsman" if not, what age is best to give to the grandbaby?
