Narrative

I was changing the bit in a 3/8 angle drill and forgot to unplug it. When I went to tighten the chuck I squeezed the switch on the drill and the chuck key went into my thumb. I had changed the bit several times during this job and always unplugged the drill but forgot to do it this time.
