I remember them as weak... I think the techs know better, but since all 
the pads are as weak I seem to remember that there are resistors inside 
to limit the trigger pulse. Await specific answers from those who know, 
but in theory you could remove these for more *oumph!* but on the other 
hand. If the pads end up with an original SDS-8 one day you might have 
trouble. There are often reasons for such alterations. :)
