Don't Skip the Safety Glasses When Using Screwdrivers

Hey guys, quick PSA: Always wear safety glasses when using screwdrivers. I know it sounds silly but I just had a phillips head slip and it flew right past my eye. Could've been bad. Anyone else have close calls?

Good reminder Felix. I've been a carpenter for 40 years and I still wear glasses every time. Had a buddy lose an eye to a slipping screwdriver back in the 80s. Not worth it.

As a safety inspector I see this all the time. People think screwdrivers are harmless. But let me tell you, a slip can send that tip straight into your face. Also, don't use a screwdriver as a pry bar or chisel! That's a whole other hazard.

I always keep a pair of those cheap readers in my apron for close work. Plus they protect my eyes. Double duty lol. But seriously, good tip Felix.
