Been there several times - although always away from anyone and always slow & steady with hand tools.

To date, still got the full compliment of fingers etc....

Had one spring compressor come off a Cavalier Mk1 front spring (about 35 years ago), whilst trying to get the spring out from under the wheel arch! We all survived. Shocked

Smashed a few windows, greenhouses and sheds over the years, but never managed to hit any living being (apart from a few ants when a spring landed in their nest)

it's over 30 years since I last did one ... must have been too young to be scared.

mind you, I think i modified the ends so they went further into the spring.

There is, perhaps, a reason I got the nick-name "Hardware" Laughing

^^^ I thought that was because you had a screw loose or because you wear a brown shop-coat round the house. Very Happy

Screw loose is most likely.

First job after uni was as an electronics engineer for Plessey in Christchurch... all the lads I mixed with were software or systems bods, so I was known as Hardware. Then due to the Bolton accent, that became 'Ardware.

Then as my sideline of fixing mates cars for beers etc. Got me better known, it seemed half the site was calling me by it.

Its what the other half were calling you that mattered Whistle
