Narrative

EE was trying to drill the end of the grounding clamp for a welding lead. The clamp was held in the drill's vice. He was holding the end of the welding lead with his left hand. The drill bit hung up in the welding clamp and started twisting the clamp and cable. The cable got twisted on his glove and shirt sleeve, pulled his hand into the drill and fractured the left index finger.
