Yeah. Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get
my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes
touching around with a steth probe is about it.
Even then I check my sleeves first.

I haven't seen a sleeve do it, but I did see a rag get snatched out of
a guys hand on a high speed lathe, come back around and debrided the
back of his hand.

Saw a guy use an allen wrench to take a part out of a centerless
grinder, lost three fingers...
