I am a firm believer in, "I'll use my hammer, you use yours".
But I think they need bigger hammers. :)

I agree Jim a whole lot of hammering going on and very little metal being moved

Same here. Plenty hot, a lot of whacks, not results.
Part must be that cold end isn't in a socket of some kind to stay in position.
