Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateC Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just the usual for me with the apprentice, when I did do a bit of installation in the early 90's. Sent him up to fit it right up in the roof space of a large storage unit we were working in. Have you screwed it on....? Yeah.... Have you got the mains on to it....? Yeah... Have you connected the trigger wires....? Doing it now.... Tell me when you've connected them up.... Will do..... ..........Long gap................ ......................................Longer gap.................................................. Done it...... A colleague of mine and I were now staring up the ladder from the store room where the panel was as I accidentally popped the trigger wires across the battery.... Purely accidental... How we giggled as we watched that ladder shake and various tools and items crash to the floor.... Much to our disappointment, he stayed up there... I still feel guilty about that - that was some SERIOUS noise in an empty unit like that! So dangerous too, but you don't think about that at the time do you... Ahem...

Cyberprog Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 IIRC the current model MasterBlasters are continuously rated, mainly due to the siren being produced by the motor driven fan and the design pushes the air over the motor as well to help cool it. Had one customer ask me to spec *3* MB's on his warehouse, pointed out that the locals might think WW3 was about to start and to start with a single MB and decide if he needed more once he'd heard just how bloody loud they are!

Gringo154 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I nearly got my hands cut off testing a tiny system in a portacabin kitchen, no place for a master blaster - I nearly crapped and the guy nearly stabbed me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
