Narrative

Worker was using an electric drill to bore out a small pipe for the firing pressure tool. The drill snagged, and the drill spun in the worker's right hand. The drill handle spun and hit the worker's right pinky finger pushing the finger at an odd angle causing a fracture/dislocation of the right fifth finger/knuckle.
