Firpo701 407 #1 Posted July 30, 2014 So I was working on my tiller project last night, mounting a gas tank, that I had laying around, on it. I built a stand, and strap hold down for it, and was really excited to get the tank mounted. The holes in the strapping were a bit small for the bolts I was using, so, I chucked up a bit in the drill to make a couple of the holes bigger. Knowing better, but being in a hurry, I held the strapping in one hand and the drill in the other. Needless to say, when the bit caught, it wrapped the strapping, along with my thumb, tightly around the drillbit! After saying a few choice words, and seeing it was no more serious than it was, I had to laugh at how stupid I was to hold the thing in my hand in the first place! Just a word of advice to all...work smarter, not more painfully! Lol! :-\ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
