Not generally a great idea to remove a foreign object on your own. Maybe this one worked out okay, since it was more like a big splinter, but if you manage to stab yourself in an artery, the foreign object acts like a cork, and you can bleed out after you remove it.

A trip to the local Doc in a Box to get an x-ray, a tetanus shot, and good wound care is never a waste. Trust me. I'm missing a leg. Infections can do you serious harm.

You are so RIGHT. Sorry about your leg.

But seriously. How do you screw in a screw into your hand? I have installed multiple thousands. Well over 10,000 not once in my hand. Especially talented person in this video.

Hmmmm. Could be he fell on it. Maybe it was one of those 'Hold my beer' moments.

No blood or evidence of puncture after the screw is "extracted". I'm guessing some clever video editor's work.

You may be right Marv.

I agree.

Reminds me of an older coworker who accidentally hit himself in the fingernail with a hammer. Of course, the nail immediately turned blue and his finger was throbbing. He had the bright idea of chucking a 1/8" drill bit into the nearest drill press and puncturing the nail to relieve the pressure.

Unfortunately, Mr. Genius IQ (I promise it WASN'T me!!) pushed the press down a little too hard and instead of just puncturing the nail, the drill bit got a bite of his finger and pulled his finger up and in an instant he had a 1/8" drill bit ALL THE WAY through his finger and his finger was at the top of the bit with the drill still rotating.

Yes, we laughed. Howled, actually.
