Death is not that far away in a home shop or garage
Last year I had some trouble with my air compressor. It was a small double tank portable unit that kept hissing with a loose connector. I put up with it for months, then I finally looked at it. It was a high pressure line leading to the regulator that was about to explode … if it had broken off, it would have launched the whole regulator unit like shrapnel into my face or hands like a small grenade.
I junked the whole thing and bought an even bigger compressor with a 40 gallon tank. Now my worry is that if this tank ever explodes, it will take me out and half the garage.
