My old Face guard just recently broke.... I will have to buy another one.

I have many scars to prove the value of gloves... sadly, like this guy, I never took faceguards seriously.

wow.

That is a good lesson... Here is mine...

Some tools are meant to be used with gloves, some are not. I was using a table saw, with leather gloves on. The glove caught, my thumb was pulled into the blade. 5 stiches were needed to put it back together, not bad considering. It is going on 3 years, and I still do not have all the feeling in my thumb, may never have it all.

Hell, I'd have caught the grinder with mah teef. That guy was too slow. :D
