I imagine a lot of flashlight enthusiasts have death with this. I've found it's less an issue with D cell batteries and more AA and AAA.

If you end up with a battery cap in yhe screw or drill, you might be able to pull out the casing with needle nose pliers, likely in pieces.

It hurts if you get gunk on your skin, so try to avoid that.

Eye protection is a great idea.
