Air Compressor safety... Take the time to drain your air compressor tanks. This is more important than simply being a necessary step to avoid water in your air lines. Rust in the tank will compromise its integrity over time. These things can turn into bombs. If something doesnt seem right or you hear hissing take the time to investigate.
My dad was cleaning the lint and dust off his pool table brushes with compressed air. He was standing right next to the compressor when it let go. It knocked him off his feet and onto his arse. It knocked pictures off the wall in the house and got the neighbors attention as well. He escaped serious injury just some scrapes and bruises. He is blessed to still be alive this could have been a very tragic outcome. Please take the time it is important
