trouble where you dont expect it....

so i picked up this nifty nick opening a 50lb box of welding rod -- when i gave the pull tab lid a good jerk it gave -- luckily my wrist stopped it.

Like my Dad always used to say... "That's gonna leave a mark"!!!

Yeeowwww, that's a nasty one! Did ya staple that up yourself or hire it out? [ddd

..... luckily my wrist stopped it.

Reminds me of the line in 'Joe Dirt' where he was fighting the guy at the oil rig......."luckily my neck broke my fall"

Keep that thing clean and try not EVER do that again

 

[cantwell.colton]

hired out hahaha -- no an actual dr. did it --
i did look into buying a stapler though now .. could be handy to
have around and theyre only about 20 dollars...

ok, well this thread needed a warning, (trying to eat my breakfast when i saw that) lol


that was one nasty looking scrape...what in the world was in that box that caused that?[S

and of course---"be careful out there"

 

[42chevy]

That looks painful. Keep it clean and be safe.

I know times are hard but this is not the answer. There are counselors out there if you just need to talk. there will be more rat rods builds I swear! [cl

it was the actual LID of the 50lb box -- it comes in what i can only describe as a large tuna fish can/box -- it has a large pull tab and the top is supposed to just peel right off --- it DOESNT.... the corners almost always snag -- usually i grab pliers or use a pry-bar or something similar to pop it all the way off -- this time i just tried pulling and when it finally gave it didnt end well.

Yep, that is a nasty scratch. Maybe a Sponge BoB band-aid and some anteseptic spray.
Or you could go with the staples and blood every where.

No nerve damage I hope? That is pretty yucky.

 

[sgtpontiac]

Man...... that's one nasty cut....

glad it didn't cut any tendons and such..... could have been worse.... isn't it strange that you know darn well that something bad might happen and you do it anyway!! Like a self fullfilled prophecy.... heal up buddy..... and take it easy with those lids.....

 

[Sam_Fear]

Yow! Makes me feel better about the little cut I got from the tuna can yesterday. Hope it heals OK.

Back when I was going through a couple cans a week, I opened them with a torch.
