I got thrown off of a ladder by a Milwaukee Magnum Hole Shooter 1/2" drill while using a 1" spade bit in a wood post. They be POWERFUL! <throws head back in the best Tim The Toolman style and goes "ARR, ARR, ARR, ARR>
Is his wrist broken or just sprained? |

That's why I'm glad we do work on steel, turn the magnet on and it's not going anywhere.
I have seen some guys doing work behind us with one of those take the handle right to the face however. |

 An old friend who is an exterminator almost got killed by one of those. He was drilling a concrete patio so he could squirt the termite poison through the holes, and his concrete bit stuck. It spun him sideways through a closed patio door. The glass shattered in such a way that he fell backwards across a horizontal "blade" that just about cut one of his ass checks clear off. He was struggling with holding everything together when the maid came to investigate the noise and she yelled "Lawdy, you done cut your ass off !!". |

Watched a co-worker who was all of ~100lbs take a spiny ride on one trying to enlarge a hole in a steel floor channel cover. He was using both hands and leaning on it.

LOL. I learned an important lesson that day. Do not climb to the top of an extension ladder with a 4" hole saw on a hole hawg. Do not use one hand to stabilize myself and go after it with the hole saw |

I went on a perpendicular helicopter ride on one of those once. Was honing kingpin bushings for some sort of big-rig truck and the stones on the hone hung up.
First thing my boss said to me was ' do you feel any compensation setting in ? ' Young and dumb....

It serves absolutely no purpose, save for the occasional time when the hammer glances off something on the head of the machine and OBLITERATES a thumb or finger. I've seen blood squirt five feet away. |

Drilling holes in a hardwood stage floor to secure some lighting trres and the bit stuck.
Spun out of my hands and whacked the guy kneeling next to me right in the ribs. Those things remind me of how the 455 in my Olds would try to flip the car over sideways when you revved it. |

This kid was no doubt warned ten times prior, and now turns into an expensive liability for the company. Work Comp + Hospital Bills means bad things for his future, and that of the company he work(ed) for. I hate dumbasses like that who simply won't listen, but then demand to be supported when their own foolishness causes injury.

I saw the aftermath of a guy getting his hair caught in a gang shaft powered by a 600 HP DC motor while trying to grease the bearing blocks without tuning the unit off. The shaft was mounted about 16" from the wall and 24" off the floor....It repeatedly threaded him between the wall and floor at 1200 PRM

Dad had 1/2" Milwaukee drill similar to that. He always told us to use both hands and turn loose if the drill gets stuck. The problem is I am left handed. I was drilling a hole for running wire and the bit dug in. I turned loose of the drill, but the damn thing kept running, spinning the drill body, wrapping the cord around the body. It finally pulled the cord out of the plug.
Holding the drill handle with my left hand, I had accidentally hit the trigger lock and that's why the drill kept running.

I twisted my left hand with my Milwaukee 1/2 angle drill back in late May. I was using a 4" hole saw and it grabbed. My finger is still fucked up. I think I might have broken it but it seems to work OK,just a little painful.

always loved the way the big v8's from the 60's and 70's lloked like they were going to rip right out of the engine mounts when you gunned them.
plus the whole car would shift to one side because of the torque. I remember watching my neighbors wife grab on to a post hole digger and squeeze the throttle...spun her around 3 or 4 times before she was flung off... I never laughed so hard in my life (she only hurt her pride) Quoted:

U can get away with using them one handed sometimes if you use your knee as a brace but then you risk getting whacked in the nuts
I'll stick to using both hands thanks

Angle drills do not give you much to hold onto. Why was I using our angle drill? Because the boss stole our cordless and our regular corded drills to use at home.  |
