apparently it takes talent to hurt your thumb while wielding an impact wrench but i had my thumb too close to the socket and when i went to take a nut off the wheel my thumb was right there and i wasn't wearing the gloves i usually wear and then... yea... almost ripped my nail off and it was bleeding under the nail and bruised and i tore some skin off the top of my thumb... kinda yucky, sorry if it grossed you guys out :sweat:
