Anyone accidentally stab themselves with a lexan body reamer?

[ferrebee88]

Asking for a friend.

 

[Hammer Down]

Sounds painful..

 

[Jerold]

No, but my friend "accidentally" stabbed my brother.

Look, I'm just saying, people get stabbed with body reamers.

 

[Warby]

Did you then put a body post in the stab hole?

Don't put your hand behind the hole for support. Use a nutdriver, or a small cap, or like with my reamer, it comes with a cap to cover the blade. Or even a block of wood.

Yes I use a block of wood with a hole drilled in it.

always used a shot glass so no never ..seen a guy cut his thumb to the bone while trying to pen a hardcase lipo. and a guy at a house remodel using a circular saw with a piece of wood in the blade guard put a running saw against his leg as blood went everywhere

Face shield. With goggles, you could still poke yourself in the chin.

I would have added protective cup to the list, but obviously that's not needed

 

[Chubaka]

I've heard through the grapevine that getting stabbed with a screwdriver or Allen wrench is all the rage nowadays.

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

I never realized this hobby was so dangerous.

I use my Dremel with a cone-shaped diamond bit. Quick and makes a nice clean hole.

Ah let me tell you my stories

1.5mm hex driver while trying to get the tire on the bead of the wheel
Those body reamers are sharp
Burned myself (my hand) with the soldering iron. Smelled like Chicken for a second
Almost super glued my fingers together while trying to glue up TT02 tires

Remember to wear your safety glasses and gloves.
Next, my dad would probably want me wearing knee guards and elbow pads and maybe a welding mask.

@DavidB1126 at play time......this past winter

 

[ferrebee88]

It was a small but thick lexan piece. I got the hole started, so I thought I was fine... until it slipped and stuck right in my finger

 

[Tunedfrog]

Never a body reamer but a 1.5mm driver kinda sucks through the thumb.
