    Are your tools dangerous?

    Thread Starter: Edward Weber

    Do you consider tools as dangerous? https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/how-to/g2394/10-workshop-tools-that-can-kill-you/ I came accross this article and it struck me, that I don't consider my tools as dangerous or not.

    Random Orbital Sanders (again)

    Thread Starter: David Kenagy
