^^^I had that happen but got lucky and stalled out the machine wrapped my arm and **** around the drill nicely. I just member lookin to my right seeing the Owner and the manager *my uncle* looking at me with th dumbest look ever lol. I've smashed my thumbs, griding part slip grind my fingers knuckles only nice thing they seal up right away cause of the heat. Catching my index with kneedle nose pliars I am sure there's a longer list.

I once punctured a finger nail with a pair of channel-lock wire strippers/crimpers. Got all infected... note to self: don't put ring finger between the handles and then try to cut wire... crimpers hurt fingers.

2003 KTM 250 + Gravel road + Beer + no helmet = OWWW ****!!!!
Tools...ok. I once broke an impact socket into a bunch of small pieces which fell in my eye and scratched the lense.
I had a hack saw slip off a piece of Alum pipe and damn near cut my finger in half(still got that scar).
Knuckles and hot exhaust manifolds with a ratchet and a ridiculously long extension.
logging chainsaw with a 30" blade hit a knot in a log, kicked back into my ***** with the motor...I talked funny for weeks.
I had a band saw blade snap and hit me in the throat at full tilt....probably close to 2200RPM.
I'd keep going, but I can't remember some of the stuff that happened.....well the good stuff anyway....damn head injuries.

Oh another good one was when I shot my finger nail off with a bb gun.
Beer and guns DON"T mix, children.....unless someone is stealing your beer, but at that point, it works better to point the bb gun at the person doing the stealing, not your finger.

Keeping things back to the issue of tools we install car audio with, I am most respectful/fearful of my router. I seem to have some kind of mental blockage as to which way to move the piece (clockwise or counterclockwise) when I start cutting and thankfully I usually get it right. But when I don't and it grabs the piece and wants to flip it as fast as the bit is turning at 27,000 rpm, it frazzles me a bit. Especially little things I am cutting. And I worry about a bit breaking off too lol Always respect the router [img]smile.gif[/img]
I always burn myself on my hot glue gun at least once every time I use it. That's probably the tool I do injure myself with the most but the router is the one I am afraid of injuring myself with the most.

probably a 50 kilogram wheat shear with razor sharp sickles.
-It was 38 degrees at my dads farm, and I was severly dehidrated, extremely exhausted from working 16 hour days 7 days a week during harvest season, which is coincidently the hottest part of the summer. There were two bolts holding on a hydralic mechanical rotating shear with razor sharp rotating sickles, it was like a verticle hedge trimmer almost, but one that wieghed as much a full grown adult. I had to remove it, since it was malfunctioning. I was a not-so-genius 14 year old too, that probably helped, but anyway, there were two bolts at the bottom of it that held it entirely. I was honestly not thinking, so I (stupidly) removed the top of the two. So the shear swung down like a knife and sliced my scalp open, while pinning my head right into the soft dirt face down, thus suffocating me, I was in such shock I didn't think to pull it off, or perhaps I did try, but was unsuccessful, I dont remember. luckily my dad was right there also working some thing else of the same piece of farm equipment. I lost almost a liter of blood on my trip to the hospital, which in Saskatuewan, was a 94 kilometer trip in the back of a half ton. (there were no phones for 4 kilometers and an ambulance would have taken an hour to arrive) Unconcious upon arrival, I needed 54 stitches, and lots of synthetic skin. I still have a few odd bumps on my head from the artificial skin. Moral or the story; avoid Saskatuewan at all costs. I was just there this weekend helping my dad out, now I have to go back tommorow, since I forgot some Diabetes suppliese and my wallet. GRRRRR all the luck
