OH LORD - looks like I opened another can of worms -
Yes - I have seen advertisements for most of the things you mention and have in rare and specialized situations seen some of it in use.
Just because I choose not to use something doesn't mean I don't know about it
And again -- I have nothing against anyone who wants to use it -
I am NOT putting ANYONE down -- whatever makes you feel safe and comfortable as you work -- is a great thing for you.
Personally -- the day I feel like I have to put on some kind of kevlar or chain mail to work in my shop --- is the day I take up crossword puzzles.
For one thing -- its tooo damn hot in Texas in street clothes - let alone what you describe.
And if you honestly believe that "just about anyone thatworks with the sharp tools . . .will use them"
We clearly hang out with a vastly different group of people.
I was raised around carpenters and welders and farmers and mechanics -
and still know quite a few - and with the obvious exception of the welders -- I know
none who would feel the need for the kind of gear you suggest -
Sorry if I have offended anyone -- we just seem to live in very different worlds
