Core Safety Gear (Glasses, Gloves, Hearing)

Beginner$25–60 totalsafety

ANSI-rated safety glasses, work gloves, and hearing protection (earmuffs or plugs) — the kit that makes every other tool safer to use.

Using it well

Glasses on before any power tool or overhead work. Hearing protection for saws, blowers and hammering sessions. Gloves for materials handling — off for rotating tools.
