Hands up for the techs who use little paint brushes to dust things off during PMs? I must admit once upon a time I was not an advocate of the brush but I've grown to appreciate it for one reason I'll share and this is something I have heard elsewhere but it's true and worth re sharing. Using the brush is a process of getting eyes on every part and finding things that you may have missed otherwise. This is very true and several times this has rang true for me to the point I'm a true brush gang member now. Just today I was doing a PM on a newer condenser and found cracked spade connector while brushing the top of the capacitor off. I had already checked the amps and voltage on the cap and didn't notice it. While brushing I terminal just popped loose and after looking I realized it had just cracked. So get out those brushes 👍
