Posted: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 01:13:55 Post Subject: Bought a nice new powerful power stapler...
...to redo the seat covers on my jet skis...
The first staple the thing ever fired went straight intothe side of my pinky finger.
The safety device or lock is stupid (as is the owner).
I had 1/2" Monel (Stainless steel of sorts) staples loaded in it.
The staple didn't quite go all the way in, because it hit the bone... only about 1/8" of the staple was left hanging out... It grazed the bone, deflected and then stopped.
Asylum showed up about 5 minutes after this and has not stopped laughing since...

Tried to open a paint can with a chisel. Chisels are very sharp, and when they slip, they go in deep. In fact, almost all the way through my hand (luckily, didn't case any permament damage except for a small scar). So kids, remember to use ascrewdriver, not a chisel to open paint tins.
i had a roofing nai l shot in the side of my knee though my jeans .before while installing a roof . the gun misfired and i got nailed that smarted bad .but keep working after i pulled it out with my the jeans i had on . i have also had a air framer going and had a 3 1/2 nail hit right in the palm of my hand that was scarry glad it was a sideways hit and not a direct shot !

How about a paint can opener, instead? I think Lowes will just gibe them to you...

Well... early last year when I was mak'n dinner.. I was chopping some garlic. I keep my knives SHARP (cause it cuts down on accidents, and makes life easier... however when you do have an accident...), and I cut most of one of my finger nails off.
