Hey folks, just a friendly reminder to always wear eye protection when using a pressure washer. I had a buddy last week who got a piece of debris in his eye because he wasn't wearing glasses. Almost lost his sight. Don't be that guy. What PPE do you guys usually rock?

Good lookin out, Larry. I always wear my safety glasses and steel-toed boots. Also, I use ear plugs if I'm running it for a while. That thing is loud. But yeah, eye protection is a must.

I learned that the hard way. Got a small stone chip in my cheek once. Now I wear a full face shield. Looks goofy but better than a hospital visit. Anyone else use a face shield?

I don't use a full face shield, but I might start after hearing that. I do wear a respirator if I'm using any detergents. That stuff can't be good for your lungs.

Yeah, respirator is a good call. I've been meaning to get one. Anyone have recommendations for a good one that doesn't fog up my glasses?
