Phantom of the Opera
The crap (in terms of quality) that comes out of China and the detrimental affects on our economy not-withstanding, I take it a little more personally. A couple of years ago I lost part of my right index finger when a Chinese -built coil spring compressor exploded (material failure) releasing an 1100#/in spring compressed 3 inches. I'll pay more for quality and durability every time!
Damnit man, just damnit!!, reminds me of my old Pontiac hotrod friend, Don, he told of a coil spring jumping out on him, zinging by his head, missed his ear by about 1/16 inch he thinks, took off and hit every wall and ceiling/floor in the shop.....he showed me the marks on his walls, floor, ceiling from that thing, it was a old full size Poncho from the late 50's....I asked him about that chain and bolt he used when working on my car.....that's when he showed me the damage.....so ever since then, I have chained springs but good....
