It certainly is the case that some pianos can't give very much in the 
tone department no matter what you do to the existing hammers.

It's amazing when other methods fail, how well shank knurling pliers 
get down to business. It's not a pretty picture how the hammers look, 
but "... an easy/short fix to this problem shy of replacing the 
hammers" was the reason for your post.
