Could be simply a way to make sure the button never moves again. I would have simply taken out the knob, personally.
It could be about sending a message.
A missing knob is easy to fix. Bolting a wrench to the housing holding the knob in place is very explicit. It screams "don't touch"
Idk to me it screams "solve this puzzle and win a free wrench" /s
I like the creativity of it, and it does solve the problem in a way that's user-safe. I thought of removing the knob because that's what I do with my barbecue as I store items on the grill when not in use. Remove knobs, put on grill, close barbecue, cover.
What too many video games does to a mfer 😄
I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it'll go back when released.
Sometimes there's a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it's maintenance.
That actually makes sense, thank you for the tidbit!
Still kind of an overkill solution, but at least it's funny
