Those things are deadly in untrained hands. I about broke my sternum taking a 3/4" socket wrench to the chest trying to remove mine once.

You're correct about "untrained," in a way. More like no common sense and safety in mind. Wrong tool. You're lucky to have avoided serious injury.

+1 new a guy that knocked out of his toothifis when messing a garage spring.

Very true.
I fixed a simple one (the metal wires on spring tension) with careful advice from Home Depot guys. They are great! (Lowes employees are great too)

HD and Lowes sucks. They don't sell any torsion spring door parts cause some doofus might (and many have) hurt themselves.

Most of the injuries are caused from folks not realizing they're wound up with a bit of tension. With the right tools and knowledge, it's very manageable. I do them almost monthly on trucks and trailers and have done a few garage doors. As Rooski stated, knowledge is key.

And there's your answer. Correct tools and knowledge.

FWIW, I have replaced many torsion springs without incident using the proper tools and a little common sense. In this case, I have a clopay door setup with the EZ Set springs and it's pretty much almost impossible to hurt yourself unless you just flat out don't know lefty loosey, righty tighty. Sad fact is that while HD will sell you a DIY door, they will not stock or sell you the springs OR cables. THAT one really pissed me off. It's a fucking cable you douche nozzle. I'm not going to hang myself with it. The worst part is sending the wife over for a cable and them giving her an tension spring cable set that 1 - is smaller and holds less weight, and 2. doesn't have the right ends on it. How safe is that you dumbfuck big box employee?

P.S. If anyone needs to order door parts. DDM Garage Doors was great and it was a piece of cake to get BETTER than factory springs all setup with cones, spacers, and ready to install. If it wasn't for finding that frayed cable after I ordered online, I would have had it all done in about an hour.

I went to ~Grant and 120th McDonald, and said they are doing it till 7/6. I would check with the McDonald website just to see which participating locations.
BTW, light cream taste perfect!

I'm not coffee drinker and try to avoid McDonald's anyway so I was just giving you shit about your advertisement and it's timing.

I want to do some reloading, so I went to Lowes and bought a bunch of wood and it actually assembled like the "plans" I had in my head. Heavy as hell and small enough to fit in my office corner. I have a Lee progressive turret press (Pro 1000) on the way already set up for 10mm, a set of 9mm dies, and a digital scale.

Any size ice coffee is $1 this month (June).
Next time, I will ask them for less cream. It was little too sweet for a coffee. It tasted like a shake.

So starting today a LARGE corporation is price gouging.

Three lowers from TNArmsCO. Had plans to build a lightweight AR for my girlfriend but they had such a good deal on a three pack, I figured why not. Also had them engraved to my likings.

I like that. An AR with an AK engraved on it.
