I hate when that happens.

I grounded out my watch band on the Positive terminal of the battery last month.
I couldnt figure out how to undo the clasp on the band as it seared into my flesh.
When i did get it off i had a raised bubble imprint of my band half way around my wrist. Note the protective covers in place now.



Oh great....you guys are so fickle. I put an oil cooler in the trunk and it's called a barbeque grill...he puts and IC in there, it's uber brilliant..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)


2-7" fans pull air through and exit cooling the transmission cooler. I have suffered many cuts and scrapes and burns during my battles with the car, i now use gloves and rarely need to pull them off for the delicate stuff.

Mechanix gloves last me about a month before they have holes in them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I have three trashed sets in my toolbox.

So do I... And three reasonably new pairs too. When I see them on sale I grab two or three pairs. At the flea market a couple of weeks ago I bought 3 pairs @ $10.00 a pair. If I'd had more cash I would have bought more. If I did that sort of work everyday, my hands would still be worth $15.00 a month. Duck tape helps too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have a scar on my thumb that would have been a lot fuglier had it not been for those gloves.

I wear those mechanics gloves all the time now. They've saved me countless cuts, scrapes and burns.



... should've worn one on your head then....

I remember when Clay was taking the transmission out of his car at a friend's house. Gloves wouldn't have helped him much, he darn near took a finger off. Friend had to take him to the hospital... there's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of a "Honey, everything's all right but I'm at the Emergency Room..." phone call!

I had to put the transmission back in his car while he sat there cradling his hand and critiquing my every wrench turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Gloves would have kept the severed finger clean (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

My dear mother loves those calls too . . .

I give our guy's in the field Kevlar inserts to use under their leather or Mechanix gloves. Work well for lacerations. Not so much for punctures or crushing.

Like these?
Gloves
I just work my hands into stumps when I get really going on a project, not knuckle busters just continuous nicks and cuts all day long. As I get "old" I bleed more and longer.
