Very bad design idea. The four blue arms began to curl at the ends where the claws passed. They became a V shape. This is most likely due to too much heat from welding these tubes to the levers during manufacture. Luckily I stopped before it got worse when I saw the arms were twisted into a V shape. The picture shows the part even after I started decompressing the spring. Totally chubby! The welds are of poor quality and appear to have been welded by someone with no experience or poor technique/tools. No. Steel 45 is not recommended for welding - it will crack or have problems if not heat treated after welding. Do you think they took the time to do this after all these problems they found? Black U-tubes (#45 steel) were also stagger welded. This caused problems with the bearing above! A nightmare if you think you have to use this tool in a risky job.
