some folks over think things

sledge hammer & some hunks of steel & a squeegee for cleanup



Hey! You want to deploy a system that puts out pressures of 30,000 psi
plus? Come along now! that could go off like a shrapnel hit
yada, yada, yada.

Oh, by the way: I KNOW the pressure that a sledge can exert because
it produces plastic deformation when it dings a mild steel plate.

The REAL hydraulic engineer on this list can probably tell us all
over again just how DANGEROUS that is, yada, yada, yada.
