    Yeah, cost the same as a six pack anyway. Just don't fire a coil into your chin if you haven't done this before. Obviously be careful.

    with coil spring compressors, never leave a spring compressed longer than you need to, never point the towards yourself either, make sure the compressors are roughly opposite each other,

    i have seen these go off before, and they can make huge damage or death
