Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder to always wear safety glasses when using pliers to cut zip ties or wire. I had a piece of plastic fly into my eye yesterday and it was not fun. PPE saves your vision!

Good tip Larry! I always wear glasses but sometimes I forget when it's a 'quick' cut. Not worth the risk.

Preach! I keep a pair of safety glasses in every toolbox. Even had a spring from a pair of snap ring pliers hit my cheek once. Could've been my eye.

Aye, been there. I always cut zip ties with the tips of the pliers facing away from me now. Adds a bit of control, but still wear the glasses anyway. Old habits die hard.
