Default RE: A Safty thing

One of the self-igniter types fell over in my shop and the neck of the cylinder started hissing. Too much mechanical advantage placing much force on the neck. It is somewhat top-heavy and unstable on the small foot print also. I still use mine, but I am very careful not to leave the set unsecured when on my bench. When done using it I always unscrew the handle from the cylinder.

People too easily forget that the more powerful a tool the more dangerous it becomes. Be careful out there!
