  1. I wear ear muffs when using a chop saw or angle grinder. Sometimes at the belt grinder when I'm using certain belts.
  2. My demo barricade posts are 3/8" rebar. I bent the rope eye into a "U" shape and I have never broken one. I did loan them to someone to use for a demo and when I got them back, one of the "U's" was broken. I don't know where they hit it, or with what, all I know is that I've been using these things for about 3 years with no failures. I'd rather use 3/8" round stock but I have so many rebar electric fence posts around, it seems a shame not to use the stuff just to reinforce the old axiom : "Poor people got poor ways".
  3. TYRE (that's a rubber thing on your truck wheel if you're from the UK). It's also an ancient city in the middle East.
  4. I find that I can keep most of my body warm with insulated stuff and activity. The problem is with the hands since most every punch, chisel, hammer, drill, etc is COLD. A pair of mechanic's gloves helps with this. Just remember, they aren't Kevlar gloves and can't stand much heat, so be careful around hot iron with them.
