SplinterGroup I'm still getting used to that as well. I have the GI-Joe kung fu grip so I always squeeze until something yields a bit.
Mine's more like Jane's, however, it's my elbow and wrist that yield... and my knee if I lean... and the eyes if I squint... and,... and... "000" (our equivalent of 911) have their own pot of coffee brewing in my workshop 24 x 7.
It's all in the mind, except for the pain, but old dogs and new tricks...
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
