If you can find a better quality product at a hardware store then definitely get it, even if it costs 30% more.

The best case scenario of a tool failing is that you lose time having to replace a tool. My uncle lost an eye because his cheap Lowes nailgun backfired and passed right through his cheap Lowes safety goggles

That sounds like a massive lawsuit.

I kinda feel like thats more an indictment of his shit safety glasses than the tool. Tools fail all the time (at least, drill bits fail) and send shit flying, but the glasses need to be able to stop it.

Holy shit, that’s terrifying. Lowes should pay him in damages.
