A method and system for extracting and targeting multiple submunitions from a delivery vehicle. Each submunition may be self-extracting, recoil-less extracting, self-spin initiating, and/or sensor fuzed. ance actuator has a hydraulic fluid passage formed therein for directing hydraulic fluid through the rapid advance actuator to a hydraulic fluid contact surface of the ram. 11. A hydraulic tool comprising: a frame comprising a one-piece frame member having an anvil adapter and a substantially flat guide surface; and a movable adapter movably mounted to the frame to move relative to the frame along an axis of translation, the movable adapter being adapted for working a workpiece in cooperation with the anvil adapter and having a substantially flat support surface seated against the guide surface; wherein the support surface and guide surface interface to prevent rotation of the movable adapter about the axis of translation relative to the frame, and wherein the one-piece frame member includes a bearing surface adapted for maintaining alignment of the movable adapter with the axis of translation, the bearing surface being disposed on an inside surface of the one-piece frame member so that the movable adapter does not contact the bearing surface. 12. The tool according to claim 11, wherein the frame includes a collar with a bore for a ram to pass through the collar and move the movable adapter, an inner surface of the bore defines the bearing surface of the frame. 13. The tool according to claim 11, wherein the tool is portable. 14. The tool according to claim 11, further comprising a hydraulic power section connected to the frame. 15. The tool according to claim 14, wherein the hydraulic power section has a ram operably connected to the movable adapter for moving the adapter relative to the frame, the ram being seated at least in part against the bearing surface of the frame. 16. The tool according to claim 15, wherein the hydraulic power section has a rapid advance actuator for advancing the ram relative to the frame at two different rates of advance. 17. The tool according to claim 16, wherein the rapid advance actuator is housed in the ram. 18. The tool according to claim 15, wherein the frame is free to rotate about the axis of translation relative to the ram. 19. A hydraulic tool comprising: a frame with a hydraulic fluid reservoir connected to the frame; a ram assembly movably mounted to the frame, the ram assembly comprising an outer ram and an inner ram housed in the outer ram, both inner and outer rams being movable relative to the frame and each other; and a hydraulic fluid conduit system disposed in the frame between the ram assembly and the fluid reservoir; wherein the outer ram is adapted to be advanced relative to the frame by the inner ram and by hydraulic fluid pressure against the outer ram, the outer ram being advanced by the inner ram pressing against the outer ram when hydraulic fluid pressure in the conduit system is below a predetermined pressure, and the outer ram being advanced by hydraulic fluid pressure against the outer ram when hydraulic fluid pressure in the conduit system is above the predetermined pressure. 20. The tool according to claim 19, wherein the outer ram of the ram assembly has two different rates of advancement for a given pump stroke. 21. The tool according to claim 20, wherein when the outer ram is advanced by the inner ram, the outer ram advances at a higher rate of advance then when the outer ram advances under hydraulic fluid pressure. 22. The tool according to claim 20, wherein the inner ram includes a hydraulic fluid passage which is in communication with the conduit system allowing hydraulic fluid from the conduit system to flow through the inner ram. 23. A hydraulic tool comprising: a frame with a hydraulic fluid reservoir connected to the frame; a ram assembly movably mounted to the frame, the ram assembly comprising an outer ram and an inner ram housed in the outer ram, both inner and outer rams being movable relative to the frame; and a hydraulic fluid conduit system disposed in the frame between the ram assembly and the fluid reservoir; wherein the outer
