Dont get yourself hurt using those things! Ask yourself is $100 bucks worth losing your life over or being seriously injured? Who said you had to have them installed right away.

Ive watched springs shoot out of those clamps and kill a guy first hand. Splattered his skull on the ground from the impact. Those arent something to toy with especially if you are a rookie.

lol sorry but it sounded like a girl wrote that lol jk.... yea i think spending the $100 will be better than losing half your face... I saw a guy that shot one up through his ceiling in his garage but once it starts compressing it gets kinda scary... thats if you have used them before...

Yes it is difficult to the person who has never done it before...

And DAMN if you take and tighten each hook down completely instead of a little at a time, you are asking for an early DEATH....WHEW...glad you are still here man. Seriously.
