I haven't. You don't need to beat the daylights out of the spinner. One trick is to hold the hammer near the head while tightening (less torque), and at the end of the handle while loosening (more torque). That will help you avoid overtightening. When you tighten, just do it until the tone of the thumps change. You'll know when it is adequately tight. Of course, use anti-sieze also.
