I have always viewed Eric's method of re-installing the recoil spring assembly with the CHANNEL LOCKS as being risky and crude. Others here have voiced similar views.
Well, I here to tell you, I was amazed to watch Eric do it, over and over, with LIGHTENING SPEED ! The Channel locks were his, not mine, and they were modified slightly.
Eric can just *TOSS* the Assembly into place. I wish I had thought to make a video of it, words can not describe it adequately.
I did demonstrate my "2 'n 1 Tool" , but with his lack of the problem and armed with his *SKILL*. He wasn't too impressed.

I did get him to admit, it is easier if you have thousands of replacement parts at arms length.
