Tekman Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ok so last week I decided to re shuffle my workshop and doing so decided in my tiny brain to move one of my Tool cabinets you know the one`s Halford`s three tier top box is 6 draw with top open, so moved it with all tools in and found out one of rear casters had dropped into a small hole so on my hand`s and knees looking and found out if I put pry bar with a block to lift it up will work, so lifted gentle and heard a sound which I now know has sliding draws opening, oh yes if a unit opens all draws it will be unbalanced ( I learnt something new ) so yes it did and it fell off and yes it did hit me with all the tools across my shoulders neck and back well my son ran in managed to lift it up so I could crawl out I managed to get into house where I knelt down put my head on coffee table and said ouch that hurt. So A week later still very very sore oh yes workshop still needs sorting, So if you own a tool cabinet system Gorilla glue the units together or when you move it the dam thing will bite you. cheers聽馃馃馃 聽 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 We all live and learn 馃憤. I try to be extra careful with these sort of stuff as although I might hurt myself there's going to be someone moaning at me聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Learnt my lesson years ago.Fitting a kitchen for a friend and laid my cordless drill on the work surface.Had to knock a wedge under the unit to level it off and while hitting the wedge the drill bounced to the edge of the counter and fell off hitting me on the back of the head.Luckily the battery hit first, if it had hit point first I would have ended up with a drill bit in the skull.Still very painful but could have been far worse.聽Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk聽聽聽聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jace1969 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 My dad told me loads going back years as 91 now and was a builder so involved from bricks to scaffolding,so much for health and safety back then. He was Nealy a goner back in his 50's when he fell off a roof and i can remember but i was young,crawler was on roof and ladders against it and slid down roof as he was at the side and onto the grass on his back,missed concrete by a few feet or that would of been it and all i know there was only 2 ribs not broken and in a bad way and now here at 91. I praise the NHS for them days as they worked day and night on him. 聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
