From someone who has been in the too business a long time you might want to reconsider that it is your fault.There is a lot of junk that should not be on the market.Get me the tool make and model # I will do some research.

It looked just like the one in the red case but came in a black case from o'reillys.
When I say it was my fault, it is because I had misgivings about the design and went ahead and used it anyway.

But if you were using the tool properly and it failed, with serious injuries, you might have a case. I'm not crying ambulance chaser here, but your hands are phucked up. I can't imagine the recovery process your about to face.

Damn!
Wishing you the best on a speedy recovery.
That's gonna make for some awesome scars though:sifone:
You know, chicks dig scars.
Seriously, sorry to hear it, and looks gruesome - not sure how you're even managing to type on here.
Hope they get you back to full functioning.
I've lost some function in my hands over the years due to work injuries, and it does hold you back.
Hope the pain subsides and all gets back to OEM on your hand.

Being in the auto service business for 30 yrs, I will say that compressed coil springs are by far the scariest thing I know. Potential energy that wants to reach out and hurt you badly.
Heck, I even chain the suckers to my bench mounted spring compressor before squeezing them and binding them with steel clamps.
It is definately one job I do not like doing.
Hope all heals well. keep it clean, dry and pain relieved because I suspect today and tomorrow are really gonna hurt.

Most of the people in this litigious nation would think otherwise as would a bottom feeding attorney.
I think like you, generally there is something that could have been done differently to alter the outcome of the event, most of the time it's within our abilities to take the proper precautions. Unfortunately our judicial system has run amok and this is not the case anymore.

Ouch..... I cut 2 of my tendons in my index & middle fingers playin basketball on the rim/backboard straight to the bone, still to this day I don't excatly know what I hit. But make sure to stick with therapy on those to get full movement back.... They seem very optimistic on full recorvery time & I can tell you arthritis sets in very fast I did it when I was around 20, 25 now let's just say I can predict Pretty good when it's gonna rain or snow by those fingers aching.... Good luck on recovery bro

Not trying to start a fight here but....I recently recalled a tool, I had sold 34 of them.It was a tool to remove the spark plugs on the new Ford 3 valve triton motor.Long story short I had 3 Break off in the head causing a worse problem than the tech started with.The reason they broke was some of the early shafts were to hard (brittle) and had an alignment hole drilled to far into the shaft.I broke a few intentionally and I was shocked how easy they broke.The company that made them knows this but they say they have no way to track which ones had the early shaft.So they are taking no action.I agree that we as a country are sue happy but you also have to be held accountable for your actions.When you knowingly sell a product that is defective you should be responsible for any injury's.
Agree...My comments weren't meant to absolve product makers, but it seems that things have become skewed.
