I Almost Lost MY Eye! (Why I Never Work Without This)

It's easy to ignore safety gear when you're just trying to get a quick job done, but longevity is the name of the game. I want to be able to do this job for a long time and more importantly, I need my eyes and hands fully functioning so my evening gaming sessions don't suffer. In this video, we are talking about realistic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for a solo handyman. I'm not an expert, and I definitely forget to wear this stuff sometimes, but this is the gear I try to keep accessible in the van every single day. From the cheap safety glasses that saved me from a flying staple, to the mask that saves me from nasty house odors, here is the basic kit I use to protect my frail, fat body from the hazards of the job.
