I don't think he would understand it if I showed it to him on paper, although he does wire and service well pumps and controls. Maybe a little knowledge is dangerous. I asked him why what he was doing is any different than using a blow dryer in the shower. That's the only time he said maybe they should be doing this another way.
I pointed out that there are pneumatic tools out there (apparently he is drilling something like 1-1/2 inch holes). Said his boss would never go for hauling a compressor around least of all buying one.
As far as unions are concerned I'm very much straddling the fence myself as to pros and cons. I only said that because if it were a union shop he could possibly have someplace else to complain and without it costing him his job.
