Thanks!

We can name them "The Little B-a-l-l-s O' Death"

What did you use to do such a neat precise job of cutting it in two?

As a pressure vessel, it has to be working rated well above 500 PSI strength, to allow safety margin for the high pressure relief valve to blast open if the HPCO doesn't drop the clutch out in an overpressure failure mode. So the wall thickness is up there!

I think the older ones used a cloth bag of sorts to hold the pellets.

I used a hacksaw cut and rotated the canister it is aluminium. I wanted to see what is in there and figured others would too.

You sure did a clean, smooth job of it! Can I hire you for major hacksawing jobs?
