Re: Most dangerous tool in your shop and why!!!!!!

Shop at home: Framing nailer. Nailed skipped and lodged in first finger on other hand, on my birthday no less. But was pleased to see hospitable uses craftsman vice grips with demerol to pull out objects like that. (tried to pull it out myself, but ringshank nails in bone are a *****).

Shop at work. THE STUDENTS I teach. very enthusiatic, but kids have no sense of there own mortality. Forklifts, presses, iron workers, grinders, oxy torches, table saw. Average 1 injury a month, not bad considering the number of students in program. But table saw(s) have to be fed once a year it seems to keep them happy.
