    will probably be in plymouth on sunday...

    Nate could maybe meet you with it sat at the soonest (have to ask him)

    unless you want to go get it your self. It is barried in snow and should be plowed out this sat.

    Jeff call or text me.

    it clamps on.. so springs dont fly if something goes wrong and kills the other guy...

    it was good enough for my old shop... better then your $20 CSK ones... which while they may work... I would NEVER use....

    That depends on your definition of excessive. I'd rather deal with that than a spring launching.

    Good point.

    Is it somewhat common to have one launch when using the cheapie compressors (suppose it doesn't have to happen often to want to avoid it at all costs lol)?

    I have a set of the cheap compressors. They've worked good for me so far, but just use common sense and pay attention when the springs are compressed. You can borrow them if you want.

    same with anything.... my concern is a lot of people wanna go help out that have no idea what they are doing... just takes one person to lose the left side of their face like an apple peeler to ruin a good swap...

    yeah...
