: I feel for you Arnie!! It's not just a handycap, it can be very uncomfortable!
: As a machinist, I highly recommend wearing safety glasses, but from THREE---yes THREE personal experiences, I really would wear them:
: 1) Metal chip fell into my eye when drilling under my wifes car.
: 2) My infant daughter struck me accidentally with her fingernail and cut me on the eye.
: 3) While folding a large road map, I cut my eye with the edge of the paper--yes a paper cut on the eye.
: All three experiences required an emergency room visit and a patch on the eye for at least two days!
: Won't be online for awhile.Got metal in my eye at work and not supposed to look at the computer screen.Trying to type and not look,VERY hard.Please people,when working on your cars or any thing for that matter, remember SAFETY FIRST!!!This is the second time this has happened to me,the right eye first running an axle nut down with a half inch impact gun.Now my left doing the same!There won't be a strike three.I WILL wear safety glasses fron now on!Be safe and peace out.Arnie
