Whenever I'm grinding or brushing, I wear my glasses and a shield. I'm not so fortunate to have a light built-in, but I do wear one of those hunting/fishing headlamps which always gives me great illumination.

I always wear safety glasses whether I'm in the shop, working on my cars, or on the farm, especially since I primarily wear contacts. Getting shit in your eyes with contacts in is an absolute nightmare. The picture that AJ posted has been floating around the net for a couple of years (or at least one similar) as our shop manager here at school has it printed off and plastered all over the walls.

Yeah, I'm guilty of not wearing mine and I have 3-4 pairs around here. Last week I was grinding something and something sharp hit my cheek hard, missed my eye by a half inch. I'm wearing some today grinding out some holes for my new spoiler.

I wear them at work all day. I don't wear them all the time when working on my cars, but if I'm grinding, or doing anything where it makes sense to have them, I wear them. I have like 3 pair of them, and two sets of ear muff things for when the Air Compressor is pumping up. I also have gloves, and masks that I wear when powder coating.

I only use them when I am using the impact wrench at weird angles, or when I am grinding/power cleaning something.

I call photoshop. I also usually don't use protective eye wear. mostly I'm working with hand wrenches though, so it doesn't matter.

I use them when I am under the car, grinding, or doing anything pneumatic. Other wise I get tired of pushing them up and pretty soon I cant see through them anyway.

It wasn't photoshopped. Why would a company of this size, post something to their employees be fake? Get a life... seriously, go out and get one.:loser:

When I was younger "and dumber", I was a tire tech at Tires Plus as a tire jockey, pulling the valve stem out and the customer had put in that fix a flat crap sprayed all over me and my eyes and of course I had no protection so that was a nice 4hr. ordeal with the eye doctor and $2,000 bill later I could see. Moral of the story wear your protection cause some companys wont cover you if you are not wearing protection....

working on a car, no.
tuning a car, no.
Metal fabrication, yes. I've had rust removed from an eyeball, NOT FUN.
