[AT] Fw: Truck & Tractor Tool Guide Part Two

[charlie hill]

Louis,

I think safety glasses are even more important for the wire wheel than for 
grinding.  I've had pieces of wire come off a wire wheel and stick in my 
skin.  Luckily they hit me in the belly where they had a shirt and 
some..er.... "padding" to penetrate before they could do any real damage. 
How about if one of those pieces hit your eye?
