When grabbing the soldering iron, make sure you grab the right end. When I am soldering/desoldering, I often let the iron dangle over my leg. Without thinking, I overreached and grabbed the business end, resulting in an inch long blister on my forefinger. As I have told others in the past, it doesn't take me long to inspect hot iron but nevertheless I had seared my finger like a fine piece of steak.

As I told my wife many years ago, pain is nature's way of telling you that you screwed up. It's all healed now.

once upon a time long ago..... I was much younger..... i was installing a stereo in a car and had a live soldering iron on the floor of the garage and backed out of the car, bare foot and stepped on it..... yup, that smarts...

Oxy Acet welding, dropped the rod... picked it up by the wrong end. Just once!

 

[savarin]

using tig to weld very thick stainless I flipped the rod and stabbed my lap to slide my hand down because I couldnt feed the rod fast enough.
Not a problem till I forgot to flip.
The hot end went through the leather apron, overall flies and jeans flies.
The rest I leave to your imagination.
1970's, the scar is still there.

Only ever did it once

there's always tomorrow... unfortunately as we get older, this kind of **** can happen easily in a moment of distracted or even non-distracted thought.
