What’s the most dangerous tool in your workshop

[Ian WelfordParticipant @ianwelford58739]

pillar drill when rushing and holding the work piece. Wood working it would be the radial arm saw closely followed by planer . Saw the result of a planer injury , three perfectly matched flat finger tips. Hospital job, most painful part apparently was "supervision by SWMBO for close on 6 months afterwards with constant reminders to " be careful now".

I would have thought more than just his face was red !!

Surely cold water would have reduced his problem…..IE a cold shower

I fell off my chair laughing during an otherwise dull Radio 4 debate between a prospective lady vicar and a conservative Anglican Bishop. She asked him exactly which part of his ecclesiastic duties required the use of a penis…

Vintagengineer…..

I don't wish to be Mr Picky, but we, as a group, are engineers. As such we need details not just a couple of newspaper lines. This matter should have had more research, as we engineers are wont to do.

What size was the spanner and was it a combination spanner…?

How long did it take the Water Wasters to cut the spanner off and how many cuts were made, after they had stopped laughing…?

How long was the tape measure used ….?

Was the spanner ruined, or was it still serviceable afterwards….?

Was the victim left with a hexagonal end on his 'Old Chap'

Why were no pics posted showing the moment the Pugh Pugh, Barney McGrew Cuthbert, Dibble, or Grubb produced the angle grinder…?

Truly sorry but my head is now full of questions…..

Should have gone to "supersavers' if he just wanted to remove the nuts.

My only wonder is what on earth was going through his mind when he did that. I just can't picture how you could "accidently" do that. Maybe he was just gauging his girth, lol?

I wonder if being a good quality spanner will he be able to get the life time exchange.

Could it have been he didn't do it but maybe a revenge thing from his wife, girlfriend, partner or even their other half IF he'd been caught out.

[Anthony KnightsParticipant @anthonyknights16741]

There have been several posts about dodgy happenings with pillar drills. These are perfectly safe if the operator takes the trouble to clamp the workpiece down.

If you want dangerous, how about THIS

I can already hear the screams of outrage from the elves.

[Anthony KnightsParticipant @anthonyknights16741]

Somehow lost this picture from the previous post.

[MWParticipant @mw27036]

“We do quite a few of them.”

According to the fireman at the scene,

[Martin King 2Participant @martinking2]

Was he just checking the size requirements for 'member' ship of his local ME club…….

[Chris SheltonParticipant @chrisshelton11794]

Perhaps it was a Snap-On spanner.
