Put on some gloves they said . . .

It will be safer that way they said . . .

Got mostly done cleaning the rust out of the old Volvo ashtray when I thought ; hmmmm ! I really ought to be wearing gloves . So I put the drill down , walked into the garage and put some gloves on . Not a minute later the wire wheel bounced and bit me . It ate the nylon on that glove and just kept going til it hit raw meat in a couple spots .

And that's after washing it out with a quart of hydrogen peroxide . Burned good for about 48 hours .

    My dad lost some finger tips from wearing gloves while using the table saw, gloves and rotating devices are not mutual friends and your flesh gets in the middle of it...

      I like those those rubber palm nylon gloves cause you can feel what the heck you are doing but have some measure skin/wear protection. But it is the second time those things get me. The wire wheel just bit into it and gobbled it up in a flash. I could not get it to stop spinning quick enough. And those brush-less motor drills are torquie as heck too so they take a while to spool down.
      The first time was a few years back when the chop-saw blade snagged the nylon on the glove and I stopped it with with my left index finger.
