Numerous times i have had the metal strands shank me and i have sat down, and poke! But noooo!!,..not there man that must've been hell for you....... Yeah i did good til the grinder started fighting with my wrist and arm lol.. Left a scar to this day.. Anyone ever got electrocuted?? Try havin your car wet, and your hand is wet, and you go to tighten the starter cable, the one that goes to the solenoid box... All you hear is "bbbzzzbbzzzzttttt!!!" And followed by pain and your skin is falling off.. (i was touching the block with a ratchet, and my hand+ the positive) lol..wear gloves and eye protection!!
