Had a drywall lift fail on me at a church remodel in Akron last month

I was hanging 12-foot boards in a sanctuary ceiling when the lift just dropped. The foot pedal went loose and the whole thing came down. Lucky nobody was under it, but I cracked three sheets and had to start over. Has anyone else had trouble with those old Werner lifts losing pressure?

Bleeding the air out of those old jacks fixed mine.

Wait, jacks can get air in them? That's wild, I had no idea that was even a thing. So you just bleed it out like a brake line or something?
