My point, also Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Tue, 16 Jan 2001 14:56:04 In Reply to: Cheap Spring Compressors are Dangerous!, Ben Millard, Tue, 16 Jan 2001 14:34:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A friend of mine just missed significant injury or death from a spring compressor that let loose. Luckily he just destroyed the end of a finger, but his head was in the line of fire just seconds before. I figure that if I bought a spring compressor, it would be made of unobtainium, and come with a blast shield. It's tough to rationalize that kind of investment when I don't do struts very often. That's why I'd consider farming the work out, because (1) a shop would have a professional spring compressor, and (2) I won't be a witness if it does let loose.
