At one time I was a sheet metal worker using a "tin smith" hammer to hit the head of an other hammer. While hitting it I felt a sharp pain in my left thumb, with a small bloody hole in the skin, I could not find anything in the hole. Two weeks later an ER doctor cut a 1/8" shard of hammer head out of my left thumb joint. The thumb joint on the left is still stiffer than the one on the right hand. Thank goodness that it was not someones eye that was in the way.
