An eight-year-old boy went to bed with a spanner stuck on his finger because he was too embarrassed to tell his mum.
Luke Reid, from Manchester, was in so much pain the next morning he had to go to hospital, reports the Daily Mirror.
Medics could not get the bike spanner off his index finger. Firefighters then took two hours to free him using a hacksaw.
Fire chief Rick Burke said: "They gave him gas and air to make him relax and it did the trick. He was laughing his head off."
Mum Marie said: "He never said anything to us because he felt a little bit silly."
I think it's basically the same as a combination wrench made to fit the nuts and fasteners specific to that bike. The Brits might call wrenches spanners.
