Freak drill accident

[DaviDC.]

I stabbed the pad of my left middle finger when the phillips bit slipped off the screw I was attempting to drive into place.

Ohmigod the pain! It made a very nasty looking wound & caused me to say words I hadn't said in a long time. To make matters worse, I was working with a guy who doesn't cuss because he thinks that's unnecessary. Believe me, it was totally necessary today.

I squeezed it until it bled freely, washed it out with peroxide then applied a dab of Neosporen & a band-aid. I'll go to the doctor if red streaks appear on my hand & arm.

Ouchies. I bet it look like hamburger.

A friend of mine swears by superglue in lieu of stitches.

You Poor, Poor baby. :censor:

Better a phillips bit than an actual drill bit I should think.

Done it...

And profanity is COMPLETELY necessary in that situation!

Ice it for a while to try to keep the swelling down, and the trobbing!

And your knee had just healed!! Do you have a death wish? You need to be more careful, because we just can't afford to lose you.

So what is it about the drill that makes you consider it "a freak" vs. one that is "normal?"

Or are you unnecessarily projecting these feelings of deformity upon a totally normal and innocent
drill - that may one day, stunt the drill's own ability to grow and tackle bigger projects?

Until this moment, I had considered you to be more sensitive to the needs of others, but I see now
that this may not be true, which is truly unfortunate, but not completely unexpected, considering
your roots as an Alabama freakozoid!

In addition to profanity, I believe that throwing and kicking inanimate objects is also called for. Be careful though, I chipped a front tooth when I angrily threw some pliers to the ground only to have them fly up and whack me in the mouth.

You need a Makita Finder/Driver...
