And here's another idea.
I made a couple of these and have a small box of small springs close by. I have the Mag/Keepers, but as has been noted by others, they collect steel swarf (like magnets ).And here's another idea.
A student teacher at our high school in the mid-1960's was helping build a set for a play. She was holding a piece of 2x4 in her left hand with the palm behind the hole she was drilling with a pistol drill. When the drill broke through, fortunately there were no bones in the way, and the bit came out through the back of her hand. She did release the trigger pretty quickly, and didn't try to jerk the bit out. A Liberal Arts major.Remember to remove your hand before smacking down with the hammer . This was not taught to a trainee that lasted 1 hour .
I had to stop a guy in our freshman high school wood shop (basic hand tools & joinery). He had a board in the vise and was ripping it to width with a handsaw; as he had been told, he was using the side of his left thumb to position & guide the saw blade that was in his right hand: only problem, the four fingers on his left hand were wrapped around the back of the board directly in the path of the blade. He probably (maybe? he was going at it pretty fast) wouldn't have cut any of them off, but it would have made a mess.A student teacher at our high school in the mid-1960's was helping build a set for a play.
