    They’re right. Even after using the whole box of bandages, no one will put on safety gloves.

    And safety glasses are an after thought.

      I’ve been told gloves are a bad idea because they can get caught in power tools and fuck your shit up. Is that no longer common thought?

        I heard that was corrected by wearing proper sized gloves and by keeping your hands away from the sharp, spinning, or moving bits. But it’s a well-kept secret.

      Safety squints work just as well, right?

      Depending on the tool, gloves can be very dangerous.

      If my hands brushes against the wrong part of my lathe, I cut my hand.

      If the lathe grabs my glove and pulls me in, I’ll die.

      It’s why both Canadian Tire, Home Depot, and Lowes all put the safety glasses on a shelf in the back corner of their stores instead of near/at checkout
