My hose reel was leaking, and making it impossible to leave my compressor on for any length of time. Quite the hassle when you're into a project and have to keep turning it on/off, or just letting it beat itself to death recharging every few minutes.

This guy has the fix...glad I found it! $1.40 worth of o-rings saved a $100 reel and 75 feet of hose, and took all of 30 minutes, including a trip to Ace for the parts!

Easy Fix

Good work OP. Reward yourself with a beer.

Sometimes I have to laugh at myself when I FINALLY break down and do something that I’ve been putting off for weeks/months.

Most recently was the check engine light on my truck. I have been driving around for 6 months with it on. $106 and 30 min later, problem solved.

Mine was the check valve on my air compressor.
After about 4 years, I finally replaced it.
Maybe 15 minutes to replace it, and it now holds air for weeks.
Oh well, it's fixed.  That's all that matters,
