/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Air compressors and pneumatic tools in general are an underrated kind of scary. Most people do not pay them much mind, but you can have all sorts of crazy shit flying off at mach speed if you're not careful or if the tools has not been maintained. So many people do not drain their tanks and the corrosion just builds and builds. If your pressures are wonky, you can get a hose fly back really hard if you don't man-handle the connectors when you release them. Easy way to lose your front teeth to some brass. Most people bypass the safety on their nailguns, too. So you've got potential live-fire going who knows where on a good bump to a gun or something like that.

As a carpenter, the table saw is probably the most scary tool I use. They can turn into a fucking crossbow-spear launcher if somebody doesn't know what they're doing. Otherwise, I think idiots on the work-site are more scary than tools. Always gotta watch your back when you're working with other people, they won't give a fuck.
