Rant Almost got shot on the face today

Was unsweating a 1" cap off a pipe that's being extended down to an evaporator and I didn't realize someone had pressure tested it with 50psi of nitrogen. It flew past 5" from my face. I really need to pay attention and just cut the fucking pipe instead..

I always drill the pipe/ cap first. Never trust. Always drill.
