Guilty as charged! I generally wear safety goggles, and always when using
power tools. But this time around on the brake bleeding I skipped them, but
got lucky with a miss. Why do accidents happen when skipping safety
precautions??? Another good reason for me to ALWAYS wear them, thank you
all for the reminder.
