Context. I was cutting a cast iron pipe with a reciprocating saw, and the vibrations were so bad that I had to take frequent breaks. Why can’t our hands take this?

the intense vibraition(+ how hard you have ot clench these tools) interferes with blood flow to the hands and this causes the muscles there to “starve” intermitently, starving muscle fibers will push a pain response to inform the brain ” oi, whatever you are doing there please stop”.
