OIC... . I don't do it, at least not intentionally. I try to get what I'm after fast & carefully and button the TV back up ASAP. I did snap a neck accidentally when I was torquing on a stubborn cone. THAT was a scary moment! Pulling out the sticky-foam wedges really helps with that.
My apologies to ELT, then.
Now, back to hoss flash-frying his twig&berries.
