feasable voicing tool modification??

You squeeze them because you can't get a needle in there to save your life.  It's a last resort technique.   Squeezing the shoulders in the 10:30 and 1:30 region creates that cushion effect that you normal try to achieve with needles.  You can file the face of the grips flat so that you don't leave little textured markings on the side of the hammers, though you will still leave a little rectangular imprint.  It's difficult to hide all the evidence.

Greetings, 

           Why would one squeeze the hammers with a vice grips for voicing? Or is the vice grips tool of which you speak,  have a special attatchment or something? I am assuming that squeezing hammers would help to soften them.
