So I finished painting up some pencils and I am wiring them. I put one after bending the wire at the tail on the screw driver. Grip wire with heavy wire cutters like I always do then wrapped forward over the wire pushing the plier away from me. Then, yes, I regrip the wire with the wire cutter/pliers and pulled it towards me. Ands needless to say the pliers slipped of the end of the wire and wham they smash into lower jaw and lip. Lucky I didn't hit the tooth, and chip it or worse. Will be using vice grips from now on, and instead of releasing grip to change position I will just turn the plug like I should have been doing all the time. Its not many times a 62 year old can look menacing, but my fat and discolored lip will make someone think I got into it with a bad guy.

That sucks but I really, really wish there was a video to go with the story :hihi:

smile and remember to say to onlookers
"you should see the other guy..."

careful .... old man ....

vise grips :humpty:

I agree vise grips but I have had them slip off too and punched my bench vise.

I just hold the wire with my hand
but maybe I will need visegrips in 10 years, so I'll remember from this

better luck next time Frank
