Default Re:almost ...lost an eye!!!

Keeping on the eye injury topic, I was putting a radio in a cavalier when the body style changed back in 95. I had the radio mounting sleeve inside the plastic mounting kit and was bending the tabs to lock it in, it was real tight so I had to put a lot of pressure on it. I kinda bent over with the kit kinda setting on my legs and pulled really hard, the needle nose pliers slipped off and I stabbed myself in the face right on the boney rim of my eye socket, but after the pliers hit the bone, my fist hit my eye. I pulled my hand away and I could not see ----, I thought I stabbed my eye out, lol. I ended up with a little hole and a black eye. That scared the ---- out of me.

I always put Mechanic gloves on too. I end up takign them off after about 15 minutes with them. They just dont grip things liek skin does for some reason, and they never fit perfectly I even used latex gloves for a while(they really help getting a oil filter out).
