Good shot. A bit deeper than mine this morning 12mm staple into 10mm frame. Top tip don’t support with your hand at the back or 2mm goes into finger. Better still use correct size staples, picking some up tomorrow

To be fair, I had taken your comments on board but a knot in the side bar shattered so I had to hold it in situ to ensure it went in.

It didnt and deflected into my thumb. But fair point!

Agreed. Got lucky with the angle. Just slipped beneath the skin. Still took a while to pull it out!

Ouch. that must have really hurt!

funny that there bloody dangerous, I've had one going straight through my finger holding two bits of tile batton together I've not used one since.
I would rather smack my thumb with a hammer hammering nails in..

Maybe we should have a, who has damaged themselves the worst by a power tool thread?..

I could start, 9 inch angle grinder with a cutting disk, caught my forearm and cut a groove right through skin & muscle and two thirds of the bone.

It's when you get it below your nail that it makes you wince a little!!!!!

That's a scar of when I came within a few mm of chopping my index finger straight off with a mitre saw.

I bet that smarted a bit , no pictures please I'm eating supper .
Does almost cutting your left thumb of with a log splitter count, it was held on by the smallest amount of skin. This was a Tractor mounted splitter of the three point linkage , it weighed 35kgs.
Four pins later to hold it together. It's stronger than ever .
Sorry maybe way of topic!!

I made the mistake of using someone else's tool and not my own, the guard slipped round exposing the disk which caught my arm. I can still feel the groove.

Ohh i saw a wicked one with a 12" grinder, when running a paint team in an italian shipyard, a little kick from the hull and the grinder caught his t-shirt and pulled the thing flat into his chest. A perfect half inch deep 12" semicircle cut out of his chest. Couldnt hold him still enough to get a picture, shame really.

30 mins in the X-ray dept will prove to all just how safely we all work + give you an insight into just how people fail to asses the risks until it's too late!

My last time in, there were two old chaps with suspected fractures recounting the particular experience that had got them lined up in the que;

"well, I felt the ladder starting to slide & managed to throw the chainsaw so it didn't hit the wife before I landed on her"!

"Well, you see my son & his mate left the railway sleepers leaning on the wall yesterday. I thought I'd try and move one for them but when they all started to slip I put me leg out to steady them & ….."

The porter then wheeled him into the X-ray room, using the protruding leg to open the swing door!
