I forgot that I NEVER have my face near the tool handle...
Got a small catch which I'm guessing then jammed the tool for a split
second..
Just long enough to make the "safe" end of the tool (1" SS bar) deliver
an
uppercut that almost knocked me out..

Ouch, hope that heals quick & there is no permanent damage.

What were you wearing on your face?


A protective beard. Doubt if a standard face shield would protect from
an uppercut.

Exactly, Gerald.. and for those that don't think that a beard helps, you
don't
realize how much the hair on your head cushions you until you lose that
hair..

Seems like a face shield might have caught some of the blow.
