OUCH.....

[TexasRedneck]

Redoing the front fence and replacing the double gate so I can get my Polaris in/out without fighting the old, sagging double gate that was there....installed a pair of 4 x 4 square tubing posts as gate posts, and was drilling them for the 13/16" hinge pins.... Naturally I used my honking heavy-duty Milwaukee 1/2" drill ("THIS sucker ain't gonna hang up!") And it didn't hang up - when the bit dug into the steel an' locked up, the drill proceeded to beat the ever-lovin' hell outta my hand.....lol

I'll freely admit to using language that would have likely made a one-eyed prostitute blush.

I hate it when that happens.

So did I.....lol

Nah - honestly just let it bleed and flush itself out - I'll peroxide it later and bandage it. I was taught to let a wound bleed freely to help cleanse itself. Dunno if it's the right way, but I've never gotten a serious infection.

Dang. Hopefully you shoot right handed...

Hold off on the peroxide. We used liberally as kids and young adults, but new research shows that it actually causes the wound to heal slower. Just clean it out with some soap and water and be done with it. Add neosporin.

I usually just twist the hell out of my wrist...

 

[EZ-E]

As I was reading, I was thinking the bit broke & you jabbed the bit into your hand.... that injury looks alot worse

 

[msharley]

Dang! That will leave a mark!

I'm in the good rinse/wash then peroxide crowd....

If? You put a splint on that finger/s? It will heal much faster!

 

[Wudidiz]

They should design those drills with an adjustable safety clutch. Hope you heal up fast.

 

[striker55]

That can happen to my hand when I reach into my pocket. I have thin skin.

 

[Dad_Roman]

Rub some dirt on it.

I had a friend that used a heavy duty "ain't gonna hang up drill" and it didn't hang up. It did break his wrist, though.

 

[Byrd666]

Ooops.

Did a similar many years back. And I ain't never done it again. As my boss told me when it happened, "Well, that was stupid. Stupid should hurt. Does it hurt much?"

Let's just say that my response to that is not fit for print.
