## Narrative

EE was attempting to remove a pin out of a snow plow assembly on a triaxle with a 5 lb hammer and punch.  EE struck the punch twice and the pin did not move.  On the third attempt, EE swung the hammer with more force and missed the punch and the hammer struck the top of EE's left thumb.  Left thumb is swollen, but fortunately no broken bones.
