No. A dead-blow hammer doesn't limit force, just absorbs the rebound.

A lead hammer will keep indenting more deeply to absorb the force. Unless you go completely insane, it's impossible to overtighten a spinner with a solid lead hammer. Never use anything but a lead hammer on spinners and knockoffs.
