On the topic of gloves

I personally disagree with the mention of "always wear gloves when working with metal" during the kickoff. The rule I almost always follow is "never wear gloves when operating power tools or machinery." Gloves are much stronger than human skin. If caught in a drill bit or other rotating tool, it will pull your whole hand in, rather than tearing.

Gloves do not always = safety!

Be careful this season!
