Torqueing the passenger front strut nut, the socket got stuck on the nut. I gave it a tug and with sweaty hands lost control of the wrench. I tried to catch it which actually, probably, made it worse as I didn't connect and the wrench started spinning. I thought I was going to puke.

I am creeping carefully around my newly painted tub - I can imagine exactly how you feel after several near misses. I am going to creep even more carefully.......thanks for sharing such a tough moment - I am sure several of us will benefit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
