Yup, plus the fact that, after you flex it fore/aft and/or athwart, it
could be out of adjustment for height (again). You'll wind up alternating
ends of the "crescent hammer" you use until it's juuuust right. BTW, 
pulling
it toward you is easier with the jaws, since you need more room than
available to use the hole in the handel.
