Eye protection reminder - don't be a dummy like me

Was driving screws into some metal studs today and a piece of metal flew off and hit my safety glasses. Left a nice scratch. Reminded me why I never skip PPE. Anyone else have a close call?

Good reminder. I always wear safety glasses even for small jobs. Had a buddy get a metal splinter in his eye from a wire brush. Not worth the risk.

Same here. I use a full face shield when grinding or using the lathe. Sawdust gets everywhere. Also ear plugs - my ears are still ringing from my 20s.

I only buy Milwaukee safety glasses because they're comfortable and don't fog. But I agree, any PPE is better than none. Also, don't forget gloves when driving screws - vibrations can mess up your hands.
