We use it almost exclusively for our rivet gun, and it stays hidden away inside of a cabinet when not in use.
I've inspected since 2009 at many events. Never have I had a LRI even hint at distrusting teams in the above (or similar) situations. That's why I was concerned when a LRI literally stated (although it was slightly unclear) that at LRI training they were told to not trust teams to use shop compressors to not fill robots. Although now it seems like that's his personal view, and not what was conveyed at LRI training?

Either way, I've found more than half of my time inspecting is actually protecting teams from other inspectors with flawed interpretations of the rules. Too many inspectors (rarely LRIs luckily) have a seeming "Us versus them" mentality, rather than focusing on how to work with teams to get them the best experience they can.
