I think the tap is quite good for peak force imparted to the nut rightarmbad but less accurate than resting the tool against the nut prior to impact, especially with your non-dominant hand.

You're right about the opposing force, there is recoil but the timing of this is dealt with in the design. On release the impact-weight accelerates forward and the body accelerates backward. The track is slightly longer than the spring so there is a point where the acceleration stops. The impact weight is still flying forward but the firm hand pressure holding the body against the nut overcomes the recoil and solidly connects to the nut just before impact. Doesn't hurt the palm at all and I'm a softie (one reason why I developed LittleHammer!)

Since we reached our funding goal halfway through the campaign I've made the production orders early and hope to have some media samples to send out for review soon.
