    Very nice to see a build video where the maker knows that the welding spark light is bad for the camera and the eyes.

    The gas charge leaking out is a common failure. The ones that I recently pulled off of my Honda Element were completely depleted. They dissipated the shock from impacts just fine, so I didn't realize that they were out of gas, as it were, until I removed them to replace the cap.
