Safety Tip of the day

[Cwalker935]

Do not let the handle of a set of channel locks get near your crouch while trying to hold something, you may get a painful blood blister in a most unusual place if the channel locks slip off. Try explaining that to your wife. Please do not say no pics didn't happen. That's one pic that you do not want to see.

Thanks for the tip and for not posting the picture.

Good safety reminder. Aren't you glad it did not happen...that could have really hurt!! :bulgy-eyes:

As a general rule, I try to keep ALL tools away from the crotch....

Amen to that, Chuck. I was crawling through the opening from my crawlspace back into my basement the other day when I noticed as I stepped on the ladder, my saws-all blade, in the saw, still plugged in was lying teeth up between my legs. I would rather not be castrated, but it if were to happen, I would rather it not be by saws-all. I gently moved the equipment.

Wear a protective "cup" next time.

As a crusty old NCO once told me "No one's totally worthless ... he can always serve as a bad example"

I'm having trouble understanding what happened! That said, I have had a lot of close calls - just nothing too close to what you're describing.

Boy, if I had an inlay pen blank for overtime that happened.
