I guess the title sums it up! I needed a 3/4" long, 3/4"-16 helicoil insert for a job, all the suppliers had were 1-1/8" long, so drill and tap the hole, take the nippers, get the right length, then SNIP!! Then a piercing pain in my lower neck, blood everywhere, a quick trip to the urgent care, 4 stitches and a prescription for some pain killer (unfilled)
According to the doc, it was a puncture wound, until, I rip it out out my neck, causing the gash, that had to be closed. About 2 hours after I got home, i ventured into the shop, cleaned up the cart and installed the cut down helicoil insert, reassembled the pump housing, ready to be installed tomorrow morning.
