Hammered is a harsh word. Gently tapped is more like it. Note that the inserts have a groove or indention that matches up with a groove in the pin. The pin will start into an insert easily until you reach the indention. You can then manually hold the bracelet on a pad or block of wood to gently tap the pin past the indention. Be sure to line up the second set before continuing on through and push the pin far enough to engage one of the grooves. I personally found that some of my inserts were slightly oversized and did not grip fully. I used these in the first side for easy insertion and chose a tight one for the second side to engage the groove. Hope this helps.
