We all know you were cringing when you saw this. Watch to the end of this One Day Repair for Adam's thoughts about this kind of self-injury: bit.ly/3Cj6x0I

I once grabbed a hot soldering iron by the metal body with my whole hand cus I thought I had turned it off...
Thank goodness I worked in the surgery center at the time. They got me a cream for burns that made it literally heal overnight.
No bubbles nor sensitive skin.

I started to feel pain immediately when saw that screwdriver arriving at that rusty piece... been there, lesson learned well ;)

Speaking as an artist, sometimes you need to step away from your work in order to not screw it up. Now my cintiq or sketchpad won't take a finger, but I get what you're saying.

None of my screwdrivers fit the large slot in my irons, so I made a tool like this one from Lee Valley. Really nice for these large screws. It's worth it if you use planes regularly (taking apart for sharpening is a breeze)

This is why work holding is so important in a shop. Taking a couple of seconds or minutes to clamp something securely before working on it can save you a lot of grief later on.

This is one of the big reasons I try to use an impact driver, even just a little one. Don’t need to use as much force and also less likely to strip the screw.
