Not sure who needs to know this, but wanted to share these crap pop bumper nails I got. They look like grey steel, but they are soft as butter. This is literally the 5th one that has snapped on my new playfield swap, putting the locknut on with two fingers. I'd swear these were made of lead they are snapping so easily! Ugh. Fortunately I have so far been able to pop out the nails with a punch, but this has just been an epic mess... especially since I have been almost done with this playfield for a couple weeks now. Second picture shows how I've peen putting them on. Two fingers and a socket and they are still snapping.

Wish I could remember where i ordered them from. I think Marco, but tbh I can't find them in my order history.

That sucks. I've used pinball life with good success..I'm usually good at saving old ones.

Probably that 400 foot lbs of torque on the wrench and you should really avoid using that 2' pipe on the wrench.
