If you work with power tools long enough. You will have reason to doubt the safety of any thing. We used to call this stuff PPE(personal protective equipment) The AF can make an acronym out of anything. Shoes(not sneakers), Safety glasses(not sunnies), Face shield(not a kerchief), Gloves...can you get this one wrong? Of course you can. I have skinned knuckles from bad wrench skills. Don't ask. I like pulling wrenches. I like the time I spend fixing stuff. I have done some incredibly stupid things in the pursuit of fun(desert racing was not the most dangerous thing I have done) I have been very lucky, I get after friends and family a lot about safe ways to do stuff. I like the reminders, and the stories. I have a lot to learn. How heavy is that engine? Pinch a finger and take a guess. How sharp is that new refaced flywheel? Just did that. Sharp indeed. How much Voltage does it take to burn a hole in the palm of your hand? 12 will do very nice thank you. If you live, you can learn.
