The Ultimate Guide to Mechanic Safety Gear: Protect Yourself!

👇👇 Timestamps and links below: 👇👇
Like an episode of Tool Time, this is my "Salute to Safety" highlighting the safety gear/ PPE I wear every day on the job. Many places will provide PPE for you, but if you work for a small shop or are a mobile tech, you're probably on your own.

Most importantly, I don't want to see or hear about any of you getting hurt on the job.

The majority of the gear in this episode is from Safety Glasses USA. I'm not sponsored by them, I was just looking for somewhere other than Amazon to shop from. Plus, I found a small veteran owned American business in the process.
Same gear, similar pricing, small business.

If your shop doesn't provide PPE, they probably also don't provide uniforms. I wear a mix of brands of pants including stuff from the Goodwill, but my go to work pants when I have the extra $ is:
