Got told my knife hand was all wrong on a pipeline job in Galveston last month

An old saturation diver I was working with pulled me aside after a bell run and said I was gripping my cutting tool too tight. He showed me a looser hold where you mostly use your thumb and two fingers to guide it. I tried it on the next hyperbaric weld prep and my arms weren't burning after 20 minutes. Has anyone else had a simple hand change fix their fatigue like that?

Can't believe a Saturation diver just casually dropped that knowledge on you
