when you mech on your xj? you know..

eye goggles
gloves
longs sleeves
closed footwear
ect....

I use to use gloves but I end up with out them.. for the eyes im considering since last times under the xj stuff has gotten in them.. I dont use long sleeves sometimes not even a shirt and well IDK why but I dont use any type of footwear (I know I know is dangerous I could loose a finger or two,, even my hole foot, but I cant,, I use my feet as an extra pair of hands..)

Are you a chango Belto?
I wear mechanics glove when stuff is hot or sharp and I wear tennis shoes b/c boots hurt my old feet anymore. I have always needed glasses to see so I guess that goes without saying that I wear them.

Flip Flops in the shop... Gloves get in the way.

Eye pro usually remember once something flies into them.

a chango? haha I use to wear gloves but one time while changing oil they got all wet,, and hot,, so I took them off and well I lost one of them,, so I would need a new pair,, and well I dont like shoes while working,, they dont let me use all my lims.. correctly..

You could "lose a finger or two" by not wearing shoes? Have you considered a career in carnivals?

Anyways, I usually wear flip-flops, old shorts, and a t-shirt. Rarely use gloves, never wear long sleeves, and my vision sucks, so my coke-bottle glasses could stop a bullet.

I could still stump my way in it.. lol

You are a danger to yourself and others. I think you need some help (read councilling)

Eye care is a must for me. I already lost my ears and if my eyes run off....uh oh.

I wear gloves when i work on greasy parts, otherwise i prefer gloveless for better traction.

I used to wear a small helmet but since the jeep is high now, i can climb under there without banging my head on something.

I know I should use some.. but with gloves on I cant feel it right, nor I have the traction I want,, and shoes, im not saying it again..

I wear gloves almost all the time when I'm working on our vehicles. I've got two pairs of Mechanics Impact gloves - one for regular use and one for greasy stuff, though usually if it's greasy/oil I'll go bare handed so I don't mess up my gloves (go figure). If I'm working with brake fluid I'll wear some nitrile gloves, but I hate wearing them (hate what brake fluid does to my hands even more though).

I always wear shoes. Can't stand flip-flops, and I rarely wear my Tevas or Birks working in the garage.

long sleeves and long pants just depends on the weather... in the summer - shorts and a t-shirt.

Safety glasses... always when using power tools or air tools, or if I'm working on the vehicle while something is running (ie: engine running), or if I'm doing brake lines/fluid.

Whenever I am doing any type of construction I like to wear closed toed shoes and gloves if I have em. As for helping Kyle with the Jeep, I usually wear grungy clothes (you can count on getting dirty :rofl and closed toed shoes. I don't help him do anything too hardcore so that's about all I need.

I'm glad to see you all are safe...keep it up! :thumbsup:

Did you read how Belto dresses to work on his Heep? You may want to re-think that last statement!!

 

[Amy]

Oops, forgot about that. Belto, you need to protect yourself! I've seen some nasty injuries from a lack of protection when doing routine car maintenance.

 

[Belto]

I always secure my jack stands but I try to use ramps there more secure,, I take all the safety measures I can but well yeah, the barefoot thing hunts me..

 

[drakan1908]

I wear t shirt,shorts (depending on the weather),tennis shoes and I'm blind so I wear glasses all the time (impact resist). Can't stand to wear gloves unless it is really cold.

 

[xj&tj4me]

all depends on the project at hand. If I am welding or fabbing something, then I will wear the proper clothing and safety attire, but if I am just doing a simple repair, I might wear shorts and flip-flops. Eye protection is a must for me since I have to have my glasses to see what the hell I am doing

 

[drakan1908]

Wonder how many have clicked on this thread because of the title.....:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[Belto]

yeah,, I kinda made it a lil kinky. LOL

 

[Belto]

well today I worked on the xj, and im using crock on my feet and a shirt, also some sunglasses for now till I get some eye protection , ahh and some rubber gloves since I was working with gas, and paint

 

[BlueXJ]

Crocs great. That's what I wear 90% of the time anymore. I love how comfortable they are. Glad to see you put gloves on too. Great move Belto.
