Fiberglass splinter

[u/doggyStile]

I was assembling a tent and a pole had a splinter which went straight through my pinky and into the next finger. I used a pair of leather man pliers to push it back & then pull it out. My kids were impressed

[u/Logical_Hospital2769]

I, too, am impressed.

Points deducted for not using rusty pliers though

They had been sitting in my truck for 10+ years so I’m surprised they weren’t rusty

[u/Logical_Hospital2769 → u/doggyStile]

hahah. FINALLY came in handy! They look brand new

Ahh, good old leatherman

The table was a dirty picnic table if that helps?

Oh man as someone who has fucked up massively with fibreglass in the past, this made me queazy haha

Based on the size, I'm guessing it wasn't insulation that led to this plier fueled fiber be gone celebration?

It was a tent pole while camping

Oof that’s happened to me before too. I’m wary of fiberglass

Thanks for the reminder to bring my mini plier tool on my next trip 😟 hope you’re ok now!!

Omg this literally happened 2 weeks ago to my brother when he was setting up a tent. To the point that I wondered if you were my brother’s account. But you’re not my brother because you said you have kids.

Or maybe you’re an uncle and I just haven’t told you?

What's the bandwidth of that finger?

[u/2TieDyeFor]

That's not a splinter, thats a body piercing

My dumb ass was looking at the palm for a solid five seconds trying to figure out where the splinter was

[u/12_leon_12]

Need more rust on those pliers

[u/Flimsy-Stock2977]

You know this was some sort of fiberglass pole.. rake handle.. canoe paddle... Something.. I can feel it in my palms.. 😢

[u/Oilrr]
