String-Yank Technique?

Terrific link. Thanks. I remember something different than
string-yank. It was complicated enough I didn't get the concept,
but that just might be me. If I find it, I'll post it.
I'd probably just use pliers to yank it instead of tying a string,
being impatient when some metal is sticking in me.
I once stupidly flush embedded a 5/8" staple into my finger and had it
out with a needlenose in less than 3 seconds, even though the pliers
were in a toolbox across the garage. I was a blur.
Don't know how some of the guys here are seem to almost take it as a
matter of course. That stuff is major trauma for me. Had a rock crab
cut my thumb once and I damn near fainted.
I just hate it when that happens.
I might just be a pansy, but I prefer to believe that rock crab got
some kind of toxin into me.
