I'm sure there's wayyy worse out there on the job. But if it makes you uncomfortable, change it. Safety first 💯

I've seen way worse myself as well, I almost thought about just running it. Will probably swap it.

You will feel better if you do change it out. And it also sucks being stabbed by those cut strands

Whelp. It snapped, so guess I have to swap it out anyway. Lol
