I got a good laugh out of seeing this today.

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?

Especially when wood working.

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
