I have a perfect little gap at the front 2 top teeth for thin wire striping..... 500 sovs though.... Might invest in some new strippers
then maybe some wire strippers too!

And I thought the nice Barco strippers were expensive!
It is the chisel I used totally incorrectly- I didn't know how to sharpen it, or even that I needed to.
It was used as a screwdriver, as a marking knife- loads of misuse and it looks like it- huge gouges out of the blade- it can never be used properly again.
I guess ICBM will have to put his teeth up on the wall now.

However I did buy some wire strippers & try to use them now
The annoying thing is that I never normally do it - I don't even like the sensation of it, it always felt uncomfortable - I was just too lazy to go down to the workshop and get the proper tool.
Most of my serious working injuries have been caused like that - cutting corners to save time or a walk, and I always know it's a bad idea even before the inevitable slip and "oh… bugger" moment.
This is one I will not do again though.

I now change those blades with a pair of pliers- my fingers go nowhere near the blade.

All of my dumb-ass injuries have been as a result of cutting corners... such as my now permanently crooked 1st finger on my left hand caused by not using a spring compressor to remove a damper on the car - I was holding the bottom of the damper whilst undoing it from the top when then thread stripped on the nut and the damper shot down toward the tarmac taking my hand with it - 300lb/ft springs have a lot of stored tension in them. Or the cross shaped white scar on the same finger's pad caused by a Philips screwdriver slipping whilst struggling to get the back panel back on my amp after an emergency valve change - it was a cheap, nasty screwdriver that wasn't the right size/fit on the screws... I could see the right sized one sticking out of my bag but couldn't be arsed to walk across the stage to get it.
Easily done. Even easier avoided.

So don't do that either...

It is true that all these work-related accidents tend to be the result of stupidity and laziness though. Familiarity and contempt and all that...
