BEWARE OF COMPRESSED SPRINGS

Posted by Tom Windsor on December 12, 2006 at 16:52:23 from (64.12.116.65):

I was down at a friends shop today and they had discontinued use of one of those presses that you operate with a hydraulic jack. "We have quit using it and we are going to get rid of it...you can have it if you want it" Boy, I jumped on that cause I am always needing to press somethig out of something.

Its one of those things that is spring loaded up and you jack it down against the spring.

Well, I got it home to unloaded it...and was reaching over the top to grab it to lower if off the truck...my son dropped his end on the concrete floor...and when he did, the cylinder sprang full up...apparently it was stuck full down...I got my hand hung in there...I am going to live but my hand is sure swelled and hurting...going to Dr tomorrow to have an xray to see if anything broken...real painful to type here--hurts just about as bad as the time I got my finger hung in the overhead door as it was closing!!! :-)
