^They can also get crushed or caught and take your finger off right quick. I know a guy who’s missing his middle finger past the first knuckle because of it. ---

battle scars lol im sure anyone who has worked on there car got some or will but that must have killed, thinking of the pain hurts. i dislocated my thumb slightly lol and got a scar when my wrench slipped while i was tightening my exhaust and my thumb hit a the head of a bolt. I was able to see my bone but by the time i got my exhaust back on and car off the jack the bleeding stoped, but about a month later just after 1 swing of a baseball bat it opened up. ---

we all have battle scars from working on our cars but thats a doozzy. just one more reason why the battery should be disconnected when doing work in the engine bay. peace [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-lesson-learned-the-hard-way/123535.md?page=1)
