[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 678845, member: 43153"] I'm getting tired of trying to get people to understand where I'm coming from on this. So if this final attempt doesn't make it clear enough, it won't make any sense to continue (on and on). First of all, if they didn't go to the large shank for safely/liability reasons (I wonder if they faced lawsuits from the 2 who did experience failures), I have not heard ANY definitive answer on why they did do it. I'd prefer to refer to it as "intuition", rather than "genius", which is telling me that it just "might" have been for the purpose of covering those like me, who have the tendency to operate right at the edge. I'm NOT trying to imply that standard shank RUMs are unsafe for everybody. NOR am I implying that those who DO run them are nuts, IF that sounds like how am coming off. But I'll admit that my decision not to go standard shank IS primarily based on fear . From my experience, fear can be fraught with pitfalls, when it comes to the "proper" management of it. Are you controlling it, or is IT controlling YOU? Let's just say that the "line" can become very blurry sometimes. In light of that, I'm not seeing how you could argue with the following statement: For those having the "hotrod" mentality (and throw in ADHD on top of that), the best choice would obviously be, to err on the side of safety, if that choice IS in fact, an error!
