Dull Bits are literally a Pain. There I was just grabbed the first one handy, I knew it was dull but , Just one hole. Of course you have to push too hard and force the issue (how easy it would be to stop grab a new one and start all over, less than a minute, I guess) Anyhow push and hold on tight, jazam it went through but in the process the jagged edge of the jacobs chuck pinched against my thumb nail and sawed a gash across, "Boy would my Sunday School Teacher be agasp if he heard what I said" Now my thumb is so sore and I am so POed at mine own self. Blood everywhere, throbbin' all night, probably loose the nail before it is over, Jagged edges will hang on everything, and hurt and hinder my smooth operation and daily activities, be ugly when we go on vacation, get all gooy when I wash up. What a dumb arse I can be, All because I was too stupid and lazy to get a sharp bit out of the box... Why do we keep those dull things laying about. Either resharpen or throw it away. Or at least keep it out of sight.
We all do it but why did I have to do it? I am so ....... Well, thanks for letting me vent my frustrations and demonstrate how simple it is to have injury by little daily tasks when we don't pay attention. All I wanted to do was drill a 1/4" hole in a piece of plywood so I could stick a bolt through it, simple, right? Short cuts are the long way sometimes.
My son-in-law says "If you have to force it or your having trouble, your doing it the wrong way" He be right, again... but I won't let him know.
When my thumb quits hurting I'm going in there and toss out all those old drill bits. (like I'm ever going to toss out anything)
