the guy said, they're just springs, how many cycles does a spring have if not over stretched?



That's a rather uneducated thing to say.

Springs?

Seriously?

Please tell me the modulus of elasticity of various metals.
4130?
4140?
Inconel?
High strength steels?
Titanium?
Aluminum?
Bronze?

Not all metals are the same.

Just repeating what was said. Go jump in his sh!t. Aren't all metal elastic? And when tightened does it stretch? Does it return to its original state after released? I will replace my "bronze" rod and main bolts after each use.


I'll leave the "uneducated" for others to ponder, but their use is indeed just a "robust spring", with it's strength dependent on design, temper, and material, which to the uneducated, may seem incorrect. laugh2

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
