Hey guys, quick safety tip - I was using my angle grinder yesterday and a hot spark flew up and landed right between my safety glasses and my face. Burned my cheek. Now I wear a full face shield over my glasses. Anyone else double up?

Ouch, that sounds nasty! I usually just rock the cheap 3M glasses from the hardware store. But maybe I should invest in a shield. Got a link to a good one that won't break the bank?

I've been using the Milwaukee face shield for years. It's pricey but worth it. Also, never cheap out on eye protection. I learned that the hard way.

Yeah, I got the DeWalt one on sale. Works fine. Just make sure it fits over your glasses without leaving a gap. I had to adjust the headband.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep an eye out for a sale (pun intended). Stay safe out there!
