The only time I've seen HL's fail was when they weren't maintained properly. Even covered in mud they always worked as they were supposed to,, never had an issue with mine, but yes, like a chainsaw,,, total respect, anything can fail at any time, even when well maintained.

SubscriberFrom the description it didn't fail just stuck,and if he were holding it with the other hand or had someone else hang on to it the handle wouldn't have gone feral.
but they are bloody dangerous things if not respected and the handle is hard to catch once they run away.

SupporterThe repair kit finally arrived so that I could repair my headlight mount that was kindly busted for me when I had my bullbar fitted.
The repair won't win any beauty contests but it is a pretty solid job
As it was

After a few layers of glue and powder

Job done

Total cost of the repair was $46.50
$18 for a new metal mounting bracket
$28.50 for the repair kit that will come in handy when one of my crappy plastic lid clips breaks again on my Waco.
WAY less expensive than a replacement headlight

Flicked the TJM bullbar quote to the smash repairers, hopefully have a refreshed front end by mid August.
