i would say clip also

**CaysE** · 04-11-2008, 08:48 AM

You would be wrong.

**2svtfocis** · 04-11-2008, 10:27 PM

**CaysE** · 04-12-2008, 12:17 PM

The clip is on the end of the cable and I've never seen that part break.

I don't know where the term "DSI clip" ever came from but it's wrong.

Like I said, It's a lever.

I've just been doing this long enough to know what people mean when they ask for the wrong thing

**DigitalGT** · 04-12-2008, 11:11 PM

Technically it's not a lever, it's a crank. A crank imparts a rotational motion to the fulcrum by coupling a lever at a right angle to the shaft.

A lever imparts rotation motion AROUND the fulcrum at a radius greater than zero.

While a crank is indeed a form of a lever, to call the DSI crank a lever would be like calling a crankshaft a teeter-totter.

But at least I agree that it's not a "clip".

According to FORD, it's a LEVER.

DIE!

**DigitalGT** · 04-13-2008, 12:53 AM

Um Ford is wrong.

Like that's a first.

**thelastsvt** · 04-13-2008, 02:06 AM

this is America, some states are "clip " states, others are "lever" states, (depending on your political point of view.

**2svtfocis** · 04-13-2008, 12:38 PM

ok changed my answer crank sounds more correct

So the only difference is whether or not the fulcrum moves?
