trip/tilt hammer technique
Explanation:
"tilt hammer"
http://www.gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/ficheOqlf.aspx?Id_Fiche=84981...

But I also looked at mchd's link. Seems to be synonym with "marteau de forge"

so possibly: "forge hammer technique"
http://www.gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/ficheOqlf.aspx?Id_Fiche=19043...
and
http://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-eng.html?la...

NB Ernst technical dictionary has "drop or swage hammer" for "martinet"

But the entry I find most useful, in conjunction with the foregoing, is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_hammer... it looks quite a lot like the contraption in mchd's link...
