An excellent article Mike. I saw the effects of a spring compressor coming adrift a couple of weeks ago at work. One of the lads took a glancing blow from a spring in the face and it took him off his feet.

That's EXACTLY the reason I won't work with it other than off the car where it is easy to work and see whatis happening. I've had a spring fly as well - it hit a building 30ft away and came back at a very high rate of knots - not recommended.
