I always have the thin wall tip handy, as I quess we have more than our share
of sloppily made verticals in this area.  I seem to need it at least once a
week.  I also have as a backup, a hammer that I bought in Germany for DM 6
(was about $1.50 at the time - 1969) that has a #1 tip and works very well on
close pins

The purpose of the thin wall is not for bending it back, but for tuning
without forcing anything.
