lol I feel bad, my girlfriend works harder during the day than I do as she runs a 160 head Dairy farm along with farming 1,000 acres between her and her dad. I just don't get any satisfaction in the office...
Took an hour and a half off and went and had a piece of metal cut out of my eye that I got in there Friday. I think I'm up to 15 pieces cut out now, I got to start wearing swimming goggles or a motorcycle helmet or something instead of safety glasses.
Few years back I worked in furniture and was running an air drill and it slipped and went straight into the corner of my eye like where your nose meets your eyebrow ish area and drilled in a bit before I realized it. The boss was like where's your safety glasses I said uh it would've went right under. They don't protect against much.
Exactly. I quit wearing them when I do stuff by normally I just work on wood and small sheet metal things. It always seems the debris just bounced around them anyways.
Yeah it didn't feel great. Worst part was it was a Phillips bit so it wasn't a clean cut. It ripped and dug lol. It caught my cheek pretty good then grazed my eye but didn't cut it and landed in the corner
Just had a "diesel mechanic" tell me if the Engine is off, and equipment/vehicle is pulled down the road... The passing air will cause the turbo to spin.....
I asked him define a positive displacement pump.. which he didn't know.....

You need to find some Spoggles. They are safety glasses with foam behind them that creates a seal kind a like motorcycle glasses.
I'm hard on my guys about wearing safety glasses at all times. I've known way too many guys that lost sight because of an accident on the job.
What makes you say that isn't true? All it takes is the valves to be in just the right position and the air will pass by. The better heavy haulers that I know that do cross country moves all cover the stacks on their machines. Plenty of real mechanics agree with the practice.

I'm not saying if you don't you will trash a turbo, but protecting the turbo from air, rain, and road debris is a wise choice.
