today I have been lucky enough to snag myself a TA Industries compressor......... None of yer chop suey Mau Mart stuff.....

14CFM and 150 psi.. Air tools here we come

My old compressor used to struggle to inflate a trailer wheel to its required 90 psi.... The last 10 psi taking forever....
This bad boy does it in 20 secs........

Today I am mostly happy

Not to mention blowing air on your lips and making funny faces, That has to be the most important one

Been causing carnage with them for quarter of a century

Sadly the carnage has moved into my arms and hands. HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome) and Vibration White Finger are presently incurable. If the specialist I'm seeing next week thinks I have symptoms of either, he can sign me off as 'Unfit to work'.

That's it, no messing, no second chances, career and livelihood gone.

I have symptoms

Be careful with air tools guys........

Jesus Paul, that sucks

wildwood · « **Reply #7 on:** November 08, 2012, 07:56:26 PM »

Sorry to hear that Paul..... mate of mine has syndrome that is similar due to working with forestry stuff.....chainsaws and things...... Biker since 16 and this looks likely to have to stop due to white finger hand numbing and stuff as well..

not good....... Might get some gloves that might help to lessen the danger.......

Cheers guys, but sadly I know I'm in trouble (and have done for a while.....)

ALWAYS wear padded gloves, they make a huge difference!
Most modern air tools are much better than those of 15-20 years ago, for the above reasons.

Air chisels were outlawed probably 10 years ago, they can cause a lot of damage in a short space of time. We're just not allowed to use them any more

There are also recommended times for use in a given day, if I can find the table I'll post it. Some of them are surprisingly short - less than an hour in any 24hr period

and oh we how we like to mock health & safety in the workplace!

shit news Paul - I assume you haven't ignored a claim?

Seeing that picture made me think that would be some serious on-board Air

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 09, 2012, 05:54:00 PM »

least the airbed will go up quicker

wildwood · « **Reply #15 on:** November 09, 2012, 06:02:06 PM »

If lottery came up......... yeah right

Would be Cummins Ram with petrol generator and that compressor in back for CF repairs

Warthog · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:02:21 AM »

I would suggest the investment in a coalescing filter, Mister. You air tools will appreciate the lack of water running through them

Pricey, but worth it I say. Especially if your gonna do a bit of spraying.

wildwood · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:27:10 AM »

How very strange.....

was just looking at them combined with lubricator and regulator....... Plus a whole load of snap connectors.....

Don't forget, your plasma cutter won't be needing the lubricator inline
