[CAUT] swadging hammer leads

[Jim Busby]

Hi Ric,

I've found that if you simply lay the (drilled) hammer on its side,
insert the lead wire then cut it 1/8 inch too long, then one tap of the
hammer and you're done. It's solid. More than 1/8 and the hammer may
split. Less and it may come loose. Is that about what you've found?

Nope
The only problem I ever had was getting the hang of how to avoid over 
fitting the leads and splitting hammers. Takes a little practice and 
then you have it.
