Narrative

On 10/25/11 EE was using a pipe wrench to break a joint during a trip. His right hand was gripping around the wrench that was backed up against the tower. When the rotation was engaged to break the joint the wrench jaws slipped and the handle of the wrench slipped forward and pinched the edge of EE's right index finger between the pipe wrench and the drill mast.
