What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

cuts and bruises dont disable your hands tho.

course i dunno what you do for work but still. a cut on my hand doesnt disable me

 

You must have never cut your hand pretty good before then haha

 

It was like 4 degrees one night last week

 

I've ran a grinder across my hand one time. Not fun but it healed just fine

 

That doesn't sound fun

 

its amazing how much skin gets taken off from nicking your hand just a bit! just wearing basic gloves has saved my hands so much!!

 

No kidding! I usually try to get somebody else to do the grinding if I can now

 

Occassionally I put on fingerless gloves.

 

low of 36 wednesday night/thursday morning. cold enough for me

 

Ive grinded my thumb before, just hit it with a 60 grit sanding disk and it went right through my tig gloves and grinded a flat spot on my thumb.

not a bad idea to just cut the finger tips of a few fingers

 

Maybe fab up a pair of these:



sometimes I get dishpan hands from scrubbing pots and pans...

 

Speaking of not wearing gloves...

Had my knuckles skid across the underside of my cab trying to unbolt the body mounts

 

Lol. Last week I unintentionally tested the cut off disk on my finger. Its pretty good at cutting flesh.

 

I am sure kit #2 would be easy enough to install. To be honest all three would be pretty basic for an entry-level wrench turner.

While I have more battle scars than you can count, I do tend to wear nitrile gloves whenever I can. You don't lose much of the touch at all, and while they don't keep you protected from heavy cuts, they DO tend to prevent the more common scratches and abrasions. Plus they keep my hands clean. When a customer walks into my shop I like the ability to just strip off the gloves and give them a proper hand shake, without the worry of them getting grease on their hands.

I hate wearing gloves. Had too all the time up in Alaska. Required. Freaking blows.

I like being able to really feel stuff. My hands a scared like crazy but I don't mind.

Just to clarify...since we were talking about this a bit ago and all..

Did that alternator you found fit 5vzfes? Thought it was only direct bolt in for 3rzfes...

 

Heres my grinder damage

 

Okay for all power tools i wear gloves..cause that just a bit dumb not too..haha

 

Careful with something like a drill or drill press. When I was taking machining classes our instructor showed us pictures of dangerous situations and accidents. A drill press for example can grab a glove, twist it into the bit and literally twist a finger off. Where as without a glove it may only cut you. Just my .$02

 

drill press i often don't. But thats a very well controled tool and the thing your drilling should be well clamped down so your hands should never be close to it.

normal drill..thats iffy..depends on the situation for me.
