Grinders for sure ..
I Have made far too many trips to the Eye doctor to have them scrape a steel spark out of my eye.
I used to wear a shield but sparks would bounce in behind the shield and head for my eye. I wear prescription glasses and plastic safety goggles when I grind now but still always getting dirt or something in my eyes.
I have been pretty lucky ,I still have all 10 fingers and toes.
