    there was no intentional side pressure applied to them. i was trying to "twist" the pipe. Improper word choice on my part. i was trying to brake it of by twisting a fuel rail that had already been cut half way threw. it was the exact same motion that one would use to tighten a pipe. I had one...

    HFT Workbench for indoor or some tools with the money

    for $50 bucks and a bag of better fasteners when they go to hell I don't think it is a bad buy at all. for stick price tho... if you have a welder you could whip up a table like this in a few hours and spend 150 bucks on steel.
