This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

cordless power drills
when the battery is low and you're not prepared for it, the cordless power drill can achieve stall-torque.

This is the time when your drill is no longer driving the bit into the material, it's when the bit digs deep and becomes embedded and the drill tries rotate the world around its drive axis instead. Which of course is ridiculous but your forearm doesn't know that when it gets snatched violently off to the anti-clockwise and your frenulum bone and antipasto bone separate as your coccyx node rotates around your gyroscope in reverse antimatter.
