Last day of work today. left early , went down to the shop, fired up the compressor and it didn't shut at the right pressure. Switch is still giving me a problem. So I shut it, and go to check it.
I hear leaking in 2 spots.. My Home Depot (HUSKY) 3/8 to 1/4 adapter has blown... it just came slightly apart. I don't even bother with the other leak... I notice that it's wobbling... Thought the air filter was the culprit, thought it lost the threads, being an HF unit. Not the case. I throw the lever valves open and discharge it.
Boy I did not know how lucky I was until it was empty.
See the pics in alt binaries... had that blown with 100psi I am sure it would have done some damage to the stuff across from it, paint cans and wood storage.
