I've found their greatest utility to be in stitching from the side of the

wonders. But with care! A stitch at a time.  >>

        I was always concerned with stressing the pinning when trying to go 
laterally into ultra hard hammers, so I guess that is why I have avoided this.  
Maybe my technique is faulty...
