Hot take: That finger numbness after hours on a trigger job is your body screaming for a break.
If you keep ignoring it, you'll end up with carpal tunnel that sidelines you longer than any parts wait.

But how many actually get carpal tunnel from it?

My uncle was a carpenter for thirty years and his hands are basically useless now. He used that same "push through the pain" line his whole career. Seeing him struggle to open a jar really makes you question that mindset. It's not about being soft, it's about being able to use your hands when you're sixty. That numbness isn't a zone, it's a warning light you're choosing to ignore.

That's just being soft. Real work hurts sometimes, you gotta push through. Ever seen a tradesman with busted hands from years of labor? They didn't stop every time something tingled. That numbness just means you're getting into a zone, like gamers doing a long raid. Breaks ruin your flow when you're on a roll fixing things. You won't get carpal tunnel from one long session, that comes from years of bad form, not dedication.
