Mitch and Tooljunkie...... I understand. Its not something we think about until it happens to us or someone we know. Striking hardened tool ends with a hammer is like playing Russian roulette. I was lucky. Can still see out of my left eye. The journeyman I worked with was fortunate as well. They told him at the hospital that if he hadn't had me pull it out whilst he was standing and had sat down, bent or twisted at the waist, it would have probably sliced through a large vein it just missed.
Best regards,
