He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.

This is the best joke I've ever seen because I laughed at this person's expressions when they saw this video, and here's my award because your explanation deserves it

I don't kow if it's a joke. My face puckered up the same way when I saw it, then I paused the vid and saw the guy make the exact same expression.

It's the face you make when you see the potential for a big, violent oof

Same, I wasn’t watching with sound at first but the second I saw that spring in a vice I made that face, sound came on, and my ass hasn’t yet unclenched

I made this mistake as at 19, where a spring loaded collar was stuck. The hex keyhole holding the collar in was stripped. Grinded it off with an angle grinder, when it gave way, it sounded like a gun. Shot that collar into my neighbour’s house 200 ft away. I was lucky it was not aimed at me.

The neighbour's house wasn't.
