maintenance, and I'm not trying to defend them. It is amazing how some have stayed in business. Rudeness to a customer is not acceptable, especially when asking questions about gear maintenance and service. I have had to bite my tongue more than once when customers have let me know that my light bulb is not only dim but what light is left is flickering and they know a lot more about gear maintenace that I'll ever hope to. I'm not perfect, that is why I ask everyone to connect their gear to a tank and check it out before they leave. If they don't have the time but find a problem later, no problem, bring it back. I'll do my best to make it right. I've had regs brought back ( and I'm not saying you) with hoses rounded off plier marks bitten in to the reg body, yoke screws, yoke nuts, even the head of yoke screws broken off and they will swear on their lives that they didn't do anything to it. When they picked it up it was that way. Yes, that is my fault too. That makes me a bad tech in their eyes since I followed the manufacturers specs on rebuilding and they didn't like the way it breathed. Yes, I have made mistakes when rebuilding regs but thank the almighty it has never been anything major.
If all of us techs are that bad, and you repair your own gear, guess what. You're now a tech, :icon10: You know what catagory that puts you in now.
