Bolts and nuts

Recommended Posts

TJ5208

Who all hates when the bolt or nut breaks loose when you have a ton of pressure on it I've smashed my finger a few times. Or when out of no where the wrench slips. I'm like ouch one second and back at doing what I hurt myself doing again.

My all-time least favorite is when the pliers slip and you get a blood blister on a finger to show for it ...

 Just made me cringe a little bit. A pop rivet gun can be a good one for that as well. Get some flesh between the handles as the rivet nail breaks off and the handles slam together.:angry-screaming:

We have all done these things the problem is sometimes we have done them multiple times times. :unsure: Bob, speaking from experience.

Y'all need to listen to that little voice you hear in your head just before something bad happens.  That voice is your Guardian Angel trying to stop you before you hurt yourself!

Got a scar on one of my fingers from the time I was holding something with a pair of pliers and trying to bend it by prying with a screwdriver.  Milliseconds before the screwdriver slipped, that little voice said  "you should re-think this 'cause that screwdriver will plow a furrow in your finger if it slips".

And right there is the problem... my G.A. voice doesn't usually give me enough time to STOP! whatever it is that I'm doing that I shouldn't be doing!

But sometimes it does, and I've learned to pay attention.

When working on automobiles keep your face away. Truck on a lift. I'm tightening a ball joint nut which is a little above shoulder height. wrench slipped and I punched my self in the mouth.

 

Working on a Toilet Ford Escort on jack stands. Installing a rear brake spring so my head is above the shoes. Brake spring pliers broke and I hit my self in the cheek and still have the scars. all my friends though I got into a fight.

Nope. These guys went at it all the time. One time Tony was in McDonalds drive thru getting a morning coffee and the other guy Joe was behind him with his truck. After Tony paid for his coffee, Joe pushed him past the drive thru window and ended up with Tony's coffee! :hilarious:

I don't mind busted knuckles as much as squishing my stupid thumb or fingers. My 7 year old asked me why I "paint" my nails... :rolleyes:

I’m sure you have “drilled a hole “ in a nail to relieve the pressure ?

Only when I got a toe once... BAD!

 

It didn't work. 

 

If anyone finds my ugly toe offensive, I'll take the pic down. 

 

It looked worse after the doctor removed the nail. That pic is way worse...
