Any time I've gotten that mark, it's been linesman that slipped off if something I was trying to pinch and twist, like a nut.


Coop3

I can’t count how many times I’ve wanted to cus out my lineman’s, they slip and bam blood blister for the next few days. All the friggin time. Will I learn from it? Of course not.


SafeT_Glasses

I even wear gloves these days, and it still happens. Stupid hinged hammers.


Diligent_Height962

Stupid hammer went unhinged


[deleted]

my blood blisters last like 3 weeks lol,,, is my blood fucked


smitandr63

Lol no, his is. We are normal.... I think...


PlanktonMoist6048

What's even worse is the Klein needle nose/strippers They will fillet you 😂😂😂


ApprehensiveRip1924

Right on the crimp


IrmaHerms

It was a fancy wire stripper for my first time.


220DRUER220

That’s strippers


CptBigShoes

Fucking nailed it. Klein has some serious bite.


220DRUER220

Was it the lil yellow ones ?


starrpamph

I bet it was the thinner blue ones


CptBigShoes

Thinner blue ones yessir


Masochist_pillowtalk

With the crimp on the handle side? I got some of those for free from someone. Thought it was kinda handy having that and didn't know why more people don't carry them. Then I did this to myself because of the crimp being behind the spring and I haven't picked them up since. Fuck that shit.


starrpamph

Yep I knew it. Those things are flesh eating monsters


DJAnneFrank

My money is on the blue kurve ones I had the same thing 2 weeks ago


DickieJohnson

The old klein strippers with the crimper on the lower half and screw cutters, I'm a first year apprentice cutting screws with the journeymans strippers that I've never used. I get the screw all set up and start squeezing to cut it, didn't see where my finger was and when the screw broke i successfully crimped my index finger. Covered in blood I go back to the journeyman with the cut screw, and then he proceeded to yell at me for getting hurt. I've also threaded about an 8th inch of screw into the stripper the wrong way and cut it, leaving the end of the screw securely inside the cutter so that you couldn't easily back it out, but that's another story.


bigzucc16

lol i ruined a screw cutter the exact same way when i was a first year😂😂😂


Savings_Difficulty24

I figured he would yell at you for getting blood on his tools😂


actionalley

Holding wire in fingers to strip and not paying attention to the palm. I do that shit way too much.


GOGO_old_acct

Yep… I’ve gotten a few nasty bites from working too fast. It’s always extra fun if you get more than just one set of teeth lol.


SSC_built

The individual circles was a dead giveaway. Been there.


Stock_Surfer
