Is the vise grip option really all that extreme? Seems like you're trying to
break up some rocks, there. I've never tried it, but what about that long
thread that ran here a few months ago about steaming hammers?

  What can one use to soften hammers that were lacquered at the factory?  At
first I thought lacquer thinner, but wouldn't that just evaporate and leave
them still hard?  Tried a voicing needle and broke three of them.  The
voicing tool just will not go in.  Tempted to go to the vise-grips extreme.
Surely the wonderful world of chemistry offers some liquid I can drizzle on
them.  ??  --David Nereson, RPT
