not a hammer no, but I do give it a gentle tap with the side cutters, although they seat pretty well without a tap

they do tend to sit proud yeah, I think they seat but wont go all the way home because of the side cutters being there, hence a litle tap nudges them home, but only the lightest tap is required

there was an Irish guy on real A&E the other day
offerd to help his neighbor cut a tyre to make a flower planter,

he went to his tool cupboard to get his electric jigsaw, a thought the angel grinder would be better,

placed his foot on the tyre started cutting with the grinder, it then launched its self up in the air cutting right into the bottom of his face and jaw, then continued up through his skull, ended up with the hole side of his face/head open up, also took his eye out on its travels,
