Paint Your Parking Brakes
|
Most of my larger shop machines are mounted on swivel casters with brakes, but sometimes it's hard to see which end of the brake lever to step on without bending over to look closely.
Here's an easy fix: just spray-paint the "locked" end of the lever red. You'll never need to stoop over again. Just step on the red ends to set the brakes.
