Default Bloody compressor

So the other day my compressor packed up so narrowing the fault to the pressure switch I ordered a new one

this morning the new switch arrived so I went to the man cave and set about changing it so removed the old one and started removing the gauge and the outlet

I made the grave error of leaving the pressure unloader with It's lovely split ring till last

Anyway if you find yourself in this situation dont do what i did and slip with the spanner you could end up like this



anyway 3 hours in a and e and a day wasted not to mention the screaming at the wife like my arm falling off

14 hours in hospital one day with gallbladder problems in December 2014 and did not take it out until April 2015.

You were lucky
