Bill - Don't know what it could be, but it also happens to me with either my APSCO hammer and tips, or my Mehaffy impact hammer. Must be the pins. It also doesn't seem to be the size of tip that matters. It seems to happen with either the #2 or #3 tips (I generally use a #3 tip on both hammers). Hope someone else has an answer and solution to the problem. Maybe what we need is the Metwrench socket system seen on TV that grabs the sides of the tuning pin instead of the corners.
