Be careful with that pistola. Ring shank nails hurt. I'm a professional, do not try this at home.

The first two pics are my finger. I let the professional handle the nail removal.

The last 3 pics are my business partner's hand. We were framing my house when he shot his hand. I pulled that nail out with some pliers and told him to suffer in silence.

You will notice both nails are in our right hands and we are right handed. Be extra caeful when you use that pistola with your off hand.

Reminds me of the time I partially amputated the end of my finger after removing the last bolt that held the clockspring on a power window regulator. It slammed shut on all my fingers, which luckily slowed it down to where it then just tried to slowly trim off the last one and stopped at the bone.

The comical part was getting my son to come outside and apply direct pressure to the spraying, bloody wound. He had just passed his high school emergency medic test in gym class that afternoon! It was something right out of a Three Stooges episode when we could not figure out how to get into the car to drive to the emergency room while he was still attached to me in his effort to stop the bleeding. He didn't have a driver's license so I had to drive. Which meant he had to slide across the driver's seat and into the passenger seat while holding my left index finger with his right hand.

I can still hear the Benny Hill theme song in my head.


(At least you didn't just pull the nail back out. That is the worst thing to do with a foreign object penetration wound).

I think you should make a small horseshoe out of that nail and attach it over the entrance to the new barn for good luck.

I am good with most visuals, but I made the mistake of looking at this just before lunch.
My Stomach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riddle me this Batman? What was the time span between the first "finger-nail" and the second?

Did you impale yourself and then say..."Hell, this is Texas. We gotta finish the back forty" and then continued on until you managed to impale your buddy and then decided to call it day out of courtesy for your wingman?

Or did your buddy get nailed first and you told him to "man up" until you zapped yourself and then yelled "EJECT, EJECT, EJECT" ???

"Enquiring minds want to know"

Hey! Hey! Hey! This is a PG Rated website....no queezy bloody stomach turning images :)

Steve's hand was a couple years ago framing my house.
My finger was in July on a spec house. That was a brand new glove I was wearing. The nail pinned my fingers together. My finger still hurts.

10-4. I won't post any.
You should see what a Skil saw does when you run it down your inner thigh through your knee though. Gnarly!
Steve and I were on Atlanta Engine 16 when we went on that call.


Here is a close call I had on a mitre saw.

Holy-Shamoly!!:eek2::eek2:

Yes... extreme carefulness with these here power tools, especially when the bigger tool operates the smaller tools!:hmmm::laugh:

Fencing just about done and horse stalls are under construction! Pics later this weekend!

Cheers:beers:

Oh, now I see, It wasn't Dave's (A12Pilot) fingers, it was SouthernfriedCJ's fingers.

Sorry about the mixup.

Either way, y'all should get a daily tetanus shot with all these nails going wild.

If it had been A12Pilot I was going to nominate his new handle to be "NailgunnerJoe"
