Had to be enormous force to cause that kind of penetration. That will not buff out!

I'm guessing 1000-2000# pressing into the handles of the pliers with your hand between the tips of the handles and something hard. That'd probably create what 20,000-50,000psi of pressure. The tips of the handles aren't that blunt when you apply that much force.

Yikes!

Crazy. The odds for that particular penetration to occur..

Yikes! That would start to hurt badly about 3 minutes after the fact. Sometimes its best to just pay someone to do the job.

I'll shutup about my bumble bee sting.

Wow..we say it over and over and still a few take chances..so not worth it. He is actually lucky the car did not crush him and kill him.

WTF was he using PLIERS on? Lucky is wasn't vice grips, another quality precision tool.

OUCH! That would hurt like a SOB.

Back in the late 70s two guys who worked with my mother were crushed under a car that was being held up by cinder blocks. They didn't survive.
The coroner stated in his report it took them about 25 minutes to die.

I always think about them when I'm jacking my cars. I have very expensive truck rated axle stands and I always use them.

Oh come on. You don't know what you would do until it happens to you.
The best thing to do is leave them there and get a doctor to remove them.

(I could tell you some stories from my Army Medic/Nursing days.

no bleeding with corks in the holes. Pull them out and you'd have mega blood everywhere. Besides, it might have hurt like hell to pull them out. Doesn't look faked to me.
