Got my finger smashed today between two pieces of honey locust.my old lickety splitter is only power out and a garage door spring pulls cylinder back.if any of you have used these old splitters you know when pushing hard against a round sometimes the ram will lunge ahead violently as it breaks through,shooting the splits out.i had a half of a round of locust sitting on my homemade table while splitting the other half.when it split it shot the quarterd round ahead and hammered my finger between the splits.anybody else have some splitting injury stories to tell?I'm sure most of us do!
Hope that heals quick. I keep a 1/32” drill bit handy just for those injuries. Takes the pressure off the nail quick.
buZZsaw BRAD may be able to give some advice on do's and don'ts of healing a damaged digit. What say you Brad? ( just wanted to give you a big thumbs up!! )
OUCH! Thats a good one. The split got me back in April and i lost the nail and flesh. Finger now shorter and tip is numb and tingly. Heal up fast RC! Here's the thread. Hydro Accident
Yeow! That sucks. I’ve had some close calls or lightly smashed but never anything significant. I’m crazy vigilant. Hope that heals up quickly.
Uggghhh! That makes my stomach flip. I got the meat of my palm pinched the other day when a piece of a split decided to snap back togethet...that started, but nothing like what you got....
Ouch , I have been lucky over the years, but I will take this a s a warning to be a little extra careful. Hope you heal up quickly.
I got my left index finger caught in a truck door it looked similar to that. Took 1 year for it to completely heal. I wrapped that nail in tape for months cus I was worried I’d catch it on something and tear it off! My stomach is turning thinking about it.
