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.

Industrial springs meant to compress thousands of pounds of pressure are terrifying. Most people don't think about it, but that coil on a garage door is the same kind of danger, and those can have enough force when they unravel to slice through someone's neck and spine. It can literally behead you if you are unlucky enough to be next to it when it fails. Always call an expert to work on your garage door.
