no... the screw gets tangled in the glove...
I remember using a wire brush on a grinder and the brush caught my hoody and wrapped it self up and caught fire as it was trying to brake my wrist....

Not you too Danny! Twist knot brush on t'grinder...bloody lethal!! Straps from my goggles got wrapped around it, next thing I'm fighting with it inches from my face. Was like a scene from Alien

the grinder is the tool that will kill me one day.... grinding away and the sparks set my hoody again on fire... I end up having to do a belly roll to put the damn thing out...
The following day I am tig welding my kit car chassis and my mate pops round and makes me jump and I burn myself on the raging hot chassis... I should have gone to hospital for this burn as it was really deep and absolute agony for weeks.. but I cracked on and got the job done..

That's nasty mate. Sounds like you're as bad as me for ignoring the war wounds.
I dug my mig welder out to get the van through the last mot...bought back memories of hot weld dropping down the side of my shoe and fizzing away in my ear

My Gf's dad is a welder (nearly retired).
Worked all over the world on pipelines, oil rigs etc. The stories him and his mate come out with are fascinating, hilarious and saddening all at the same time. Any road...post some pics of your project when you have a mo Danny...be interested to take a peek!

I find that only the cheaper black PB screws leave splinters in my fingers. The gold coloured ones seem fine.

Screws from walls and ceilings are the worst...don't use them to fix board if you're skimming with magnetic plaster after. You'll never leave the job
Well, that doesn't quite work...you know what I mean!
Those black screws are murder.......I put gaffer tape on my fingers as I find gloves a bit fiddly....
Works for me.
