ok groovers ill set the ball arollin with a not to painfull tale of "how could i not see that comin".used to hav an XP ute that started weeping out the brake master boot end & woz dribblin into the footwell.so stuck a towel into the resevior to soak up the fluid which woz bout 25 years old,a orrible cloudy greeny,brown,greyish colour wiv zillions of teeny weeny aluminium flakes milling around in it where the barrell had worn. disconected brake lines & pulled it off the booster ect ect,woz turnin it round in me hands casually inspecting it an feelin pleased it had come off easily with no hassles or injury when,for some unknown reason which to this day still escapes me why i did ???but i lifted the master to eye height an peered into the line outlet connector hole in the side an then,unthinkingly of course ::)pushed the pedal plunger end in!well i certainly saw it comin then,full blast into my wide open right eye went a cylinderfull of the aforementioned coloured fluid.alloy flecks n all ???well.the scream that echoed forth from this most foreseeable of action.woz,i am assured,by neighbour livin half a kay away,clearly heard.i remember(now wiv a grin)as i charged up the garden tryin to open my eye i saw throo a hazy distorted blurry opaque view,both my dogs who had been quietly snoozing away spring into mid air, legs goin ten to th dozen,an both land at the same time,n bolt in opposite directions like the devil woz after em:Dtook hours to wash out,could not see for hours. never did that again,an niether should u!

Ok ...Well i had better put my dumb ass story up :D It happened whilst i was putting up the first of 5 trusses for my workshop that i am building. I got up on my ladder and was about to drill the first hole to bolt the end of the truss to the top of the post. Now because the bolt was a decent size, i decided to drill a "pilot" hole first ,no probs , Then i put in the "big bastard" $58.00 super steel bit and started to drill. ;) Everything was going great until it was just about through, then bang!! the drill jammed in the steel. Now...As the drill was pulled out of my hands, it spun round wrenching my thumb and smaking the back of my other hand, and at the same time, pressing in the small button near the trigger which will hold it on. So i had an electric drill spinning madly around and winding up the cord around it like a bloody ball of string. Lucky for me it pulled the extension cord apart and stopped. ??? So there i am standing on top of my ladder swearing profanities at the drill, nursing sprained and bleeding hands. And to top it off,as i was attempting to extract the drill from the hole i broke my brand new drill bit and blew $58 bucks!!!! >:( >:( not happy Jan...
