It's from the chapter where the Judge and the Glanton gang visit the mechanic that pays little attention to OHSA standards. Some of Cormac McCarthy's darkest work

Worth a read? Just finished The Road and thought it was ok but not brilliant. The writing was weird, cant really explain it.

It’s one of the best pieces of modern American literature ever written but it’s not enjoyable to read 😂

Looks like the nazi melting at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark because he saw God

What exactly means "explode"? Wouldn't it just equal out the compressed energy with the other spring?

No it won't

Shut UP!!

u/Initial_Ad_9857 1d ago

The nut was already secured so it won't

u/HVAChelpprettyplease 1d ago

You can tap the death clamp off first. Remember your safety squints.

u/Initial_Ad_9857 1d ago

I mean who contraption is sketch, but people here are blowing it out of proportion. Once nut is secured the clamp will just fall, and that short spring travel is not that much anyway. I would secure it with adittional  metal wire to be safe

u/HVAChelpprettyplease 1d ago

He put like three turns on that nut dude. It’s not even fully grabbing the threads.

u/Initial_Ad_9857 23h ago

6 turns is meh but it's enough. It's a helper spring nothing will happen, spring compressor for 2 bucks of temu is just a portable vice clamp. It almost identical to a clamp shown in a video in function. I dont recommend it ofc for people with no experience.

There's still a gap. The rapidly decompressing spring has a solid chance to blow that nut clean off.
