Be careful out there.....

I was using a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder on Tuesday, when it snagged in what I was cutting, and the grinder ended up going into my left forearm.........
The result is I'm off work for 3 months, had micro surgery to repair tendons and muscles on Wednesday morning, thankfully (if you can be) I can still feel and move my fingers..... but to say I wish I'd been holding the grinder with two hands would be an understatement.........
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF EVEN THE SMALLEST TOOL......... THEY ARE ALL CAPABLE OF CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY!!
