No reason

Had to use my air compressor that’s been setting for years and it was making awful noise, so I disassembled it. Found mud dabblers inside my hot dog air compressor. While had it apart cleaned up, lubricated piston, and fixed electric tape was falling off. So, I heat shrunk over wires instead of taping. While I was at it I heat shrunk wrapped some of my screwdrivers. I doubled coated them, but they will probably get nicked up eventually.

I almost threw the air compressor away, but I have time and means to see what was wrong with it. Works good again.
