Nope. However, I sprang for a "Death Stick" titanium framer. It was too
light.
I found it was more work than my trusty Stanley FatMax.

Nope, but if they bend it's operator error !! I have used a lot of
Tremonts and the bend percentage would be less than ordinary nails,
but I guess I'm more careful with them.
I use a Rigid 18 oz "Superhammer" that was on sale at the Borg. Takes
a bit of getting used to, but it is good.
