Just got myself a slk800. The clip looks very thin. How strong is it? Will it break?? :)
If it really can break, how can I REPLACE the clip??

Didn't notice mine being what I would call thin, but it is very strong. I never gave any thoughts to the clip breaking. My concern was the stress it put on the socket. It's been fine so far.

Right! Taking one of those off is an interesting experience! It requires more care than installation!

Has anyone tried installing a Volcano 7+? You have to put like 50 pounds of force onto that thing to get it to snap in. Its crazy.
