Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder to always wear gloves when handling screwdrivers, especially the flatheads. I nearly slipped and jabbed my palm yesterday. Stay safe out there!

Thanks Bob! I'm new to this, what kind of gloves do you recommend? I've got some cheap ones but they're bulky.

Get something with good grip and cut resistance, Hank. I like the mechanix ones. Also, eye pro is a must when you're using a screwdriver to scrape or pry.

Larry's right. I use the same brand. And yeah, don't use a screwdriver as a pry bar unless you want a trip to the ER.
