Also the humble rotary (Dremel style) tool. I was doing some work with mine yesterday and - in a moment of complacency - actually had the tool bit make contact with the surface I was working on for a second or two before I realized "shit, I'm not wearing safety glasses." I shut it down and grabbed my safety glasses pronto. I'm not exactly a "safety nazi" on this stuff, but some things just make too much sense to not do. And even a rotary tool can send shards slamming into your eyes or something that could cost you your vision. :-(

It's always worth 15 seconds of time to find and put on the safety glasses for a lifetime of having both working eyes. I'd ruminate over "if I had just found my safety glasses" for the rest of my life if something flew off what I was working on and destroyed one of my eyes. Same with ear protection. It's not worth being deaf (or even partially deaf) to get a job done 15 seconds faster.
