RE: I doubt they.....

Check out those steel hole plugs in the hardware store. The petals flex laterally just a bit when pushed at the tip, but much less so lower down the side where the ball contacts the petal at a reinforcing curve and has less mechanical advantage. The assembled device is tight in compression, perhaps tighter than it needs to be relative to the soft aluminum used in Stillpoints. I also tried aluminum-- but it's a difficult fabrication.
