If you have, say, a q150 axe equipped, you will do some stuff quicker. Once the progress bar starts running, you may unequip the axe and switch to a travelling sack, but the will speed with remain the same. This is useful if you want to have an extra space for the things you're mining/butchering/etc.
It also works with ropes and leashed animals - you can herd them without even holding a rope. This is particularly useful if you are crossing the wilds and don't want to get caught unarmed.
I couldn't test with pickaxes and shovels yet, but I'm assuming it works are well.
Confirmed shovel worked like 2 months ago, so it probably works now too.
