Sorry, wording it poorly, that's it. The impact. The point I was getting across was to clowns that are still pushing the trigger 5-10 seconds after. Just to trying to justify some of what Mr K was saying. Not speaking against all mechanics their either but there's plenty of lazy inept ones in industrial estates.
In fairness before I went to NMUK (No longer work there anyway) I always thought you just pressed it till it literally wouldn't creep any further
