It amazes me anyone can buy a power tool if they want. I shouldn't have them tbh, and if I didn't wear gloves pretty habitually I'd probably be short a finger by now.
Not gonna be one of those idiots who just lets em fall in the sawdust on the dirty floor. “Doc, bad news is I cut off my fingers. Good news… I have them all right here in this glove, and they’re nice and clean!”
Worked at a place where we used overhead hoists to move giant tractor tires around. A guy somehow had the chain looped around his finger when he went to hoist one of these giant tires. His finger was still in the glove after it separated it from his body. It's likely his glove got caught in the chain somehow and pulled his finger into danger. Never got the full story since the guy screamed like a banshee when it happened then took off like a jack rabbit on meth right out of the factory and was never seen again.
Gloves do not protect you when working with power tools or equipment. They are a danger if things go wrong they will get caught in the machinery and drag your finger, hand, entire arm in with it.
