The ones we use are s-shaped, but work the same way.

Driving those is mainly about committing yorself do doing it. Like SLAM that sucker in, don't try tapping it. Whereas when you set them with your wedge driver ( to avoid carrying anoter hammer through the wood) you tap one corner in, to hold the flitch in place so your fingers are nowhere near...
