My most classic wrench-slip mishap was when I was standing over a bike, tightening the bolt on the seat clamp. I had my face close to the wrench to watch what I was doing. What I learned was that if you pull up on the wrench to tighten, and it then slips, you give yourself a good sock on the chin. Ouch! Now I try to remember that lesson and tighten by pushing down, not pulling up.
