Re: Freak drill accident - lafinfil - 07-31-2009
I did the same thing last year while installing a *white storm door.
Self taping screw with a rounded head slipped and I ran the drill into the pad of my left index finger.
Cursing is indeed called for !
I ended up with a 3/8" diagonal scar dead center on my fingertip
*It is very difficult to clean blood off of a white vinyl textured storm door

I've got one of those in the bottom of my tool box but it wouldn't have worked in this situation.
Thanks for the kind words, jimmypoo. I feel SO much better now!

Make sure your tetanus booster is up to date.

Let me guess...
You were holding the screw with your middle and index finger with the back of the hand against the work surface.
I know how THAT goes.
Get well soon.

My uncles used to do it with tin snips, from what I've heard. And those were the two that were cops!

It's been scientifically demonstrated. Swearing makes pain more tolerable!

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser if you still have not gotten it clean.
