Good thread!

Fire extinguisher, gloves, and glasses here. The eyewash thing is a good idea, for some reason I never thought of it. I have steel toed boots but I don't always wear them in the shop.

I'm not safety minded enough, I've had several close calls.

1. battery exploded in my face. No glasses on
2. radiator hose on overheated car exploded - fortunately it shot hot water at my chest and not my face. Again, no glasses.
3. lathe nearly pulled my hand into it when I was polishing a shaft
4. taking a rusty muffler clamp off - the bolt sheared and sent the ratchet straight into mouth, broke off a tooth
5. ton and a half rotary actuator landed on my foot. Steel toe booths saved me.
