Bird, did NOT know you should lube air tools when done

In many cases, especially if you use the tool every day, if you have a dryer on your air lines, etc., it may not be a big deal at all. But as with many things, moisture, which leads to corrosion, is your enemy. So after use, if you put 2 drops of oil into the air intake, give it a very short blast of air to distribute the oil, and put it away, it'll last many, many years. My only impact wrench now is a very old Ingersoll-Rand (IR 231) which became one of my favorite models when I was working on them. Incidentally, you CAN NOT hurt anything by putting too much oil in the air intake, any surplus will just be blown out the exhaust. Of course it might be a little messy but it sure won't hurt the tool.:laughing:

Air Tools should always have at a minimum a few drops of oil before using.
two or three drops is all that is needed in the air input connector, connect the air and spin it up with a few short burst, then get to work. If your work time is long and strenuous, add some more but less than when you first started.
IF you find oil spraying out of the air exhaust... too much oil, use less the nest time.

After the use of the tool oil could be a good thing, just remember not to use as much to get started !
Too much oil isn't bad, except for the mess it can cause.

Bit of a stall today, BP kept dropping but I got some work in.

Prayers for the poor little girl with sepsis, I knew it had potential but I’m finding out more every day.

Ellen’s bringing Gracie to visit, can’t wait!
Prayers guys I’ll check in ASAP.

My dad stepped off that boat a 19 year old farm boy, but he lost his youth and innocence that morning. But he was a heck of a man, worked hard, not much nonsense, loved his family, add that to saved the world, it makes a pretty strong resume!

92, feels like 102, did some mowing, got soaked in sweat, that was enough.
Toppop keep swinging.

Seriously skeeved out this afternoon. Dermatologist took one look and smiled and said oh that's not what you think it is...
Gross beyond gross I had a large tick dug under my skin between my shoulder blades where I couldn't see well. And it really hurt pulling it out.
He put me on antibiotics just to be safe.
