Narrative

A mechanic suffered a cut to the hand requiring 13 stitches while installing carriage bolts on a bucket of a 966 loader. He was holding the nut with his left hand while holding the impact wrench in his right hand. Once the wrench was activated, the nut spun freely slicing his Mechanix glove and cutting the employee's palm. The mechanic received a full duty release for work
