Final narrative
An employee was reassembling a tool that consisted of a tube, an inner cylinder, and a cap that is used for engine assembly. The inner cylinder became wedged on the outer cylinder and while pushing down on the inner cylinder with the cap, it descended and caught the employee's right middle finger between the cap and the outer cylinder. This resulted in a partial amputation and fracture to the finger.
