Hey all, just wanted to share a quick safety tip. I was using my pressure washer yesterday to clean the driveway and a piece of debris flew up and hit me right in the safety glasses. I'm glad I had them on! It would have taken my eye out for sure. So please, always wear eye protection when using these things. It's not worth the risk.

Good advice! I learned that the hard way. Skipped glasses once, got a rock chip in my forehead. Not fun. Also, consider a full face shield if you're doing overhead work. Water and dirt get everywhere.

Agreed! I always wear goggles, not just glasses. There's a difference. And don't forget hearing protection too, those things are loud. I use the ear muffs from my safety kit.

Good point! I also wear steel-toe boots when I'm using it. You never know what's under the water. Better safe than sorry.
