I was cleaning up my dungeon of a shop last night & picked up a carbide tipped tool. The arm slipped thru my fingers & instead of letting it drop to the floor, I grabbed it.
Big mistake. It sliced thru my ring finger like a scalpel thru warm butter.
Almost took my fingertip off. Luckily, I had a paper towel sitting there.
I grabbed it & applied pressure immediately.
I put 2 Band-aids on it & got the bleeding stopped. I don't think I'll need stitches, but I'll be out of the shop for awhile as it heals up.
Be careful with sharp tools and if you happen to drop one, let it hit the floor.
I am lucky. Very lucky.
