You guys and girls have got to be careful with box cutters. They don't look as dangerous as they really are!

I was using one to cut a cable tie and it wouldn't cut so I put a lot of pressure on it. It slipped and I sliced my index finger wonderfully and had to get stiches. :slap: Man I get shivers thinking about it. What personal injury stories can you guys share from when you were installing stuff in a car?

 

none :lmfao:

naw but really i am just careful although i have a friend touched a nice hot wire. He never been the same.

 

ya, dikes work better to cut zip ties/cable ties. punched a engine or two trying to loosen bolts.

once my watched melted while it was on my wrist on my old ride(my old toyota cressida, when i was 18). it was after school and i went to autozone(for the free tool rental) to buy a bolt and a wratchet for my alternator cuz i just did an engine rebuild, i guess the bolt worked its way out for some reason. when i was tightening the bolt, i forgot to take my watch off, and i hit the negative terminal on the battery with my watch while i was touching the alternator with a wratchet(tightening the bolt, using the same hand). it sparked a couple times(i was like wtf), then watch got hot, then melted before i could take it off. sux cuz i still have a scar. moral of the story, never wear jewelry when working on cars. it only happened cuz i forgot to take the watch off.

 

you didnt know that box cutters were sharp?

 

vpuppy i've done sometime similar to what you did but i was doing a remote start and the 12v hit my metal watch and gave me a lil shock.

but i would i usually get attacked by panels when i pull them sometimes at work.

 

ahah i have done the 12V shocker plenty of times. ahh it feels good.

 

Nothing like a good shock! :hugglez:
