I'd have to say the best "safety item" would be.... common sense.

I say this , I all ways wear safty glasses,and hearing protection,and my (north cfr-1 dust mask). But let it be known that if you have to stop and think (is this safe) Than you can bet your last doller that it is not. THINK that what it is all about.

If you are having one of those days where you trip over the dog, put orange juice on your oatmeal, spill your coffee on your newspaper this may not be the best day to be using power tools.....

What I'm saying is an alert you is the best safety equipment you have. Stay focused....those distractions will get you everytime.

I'd also add (as a hobbyist) "In the mood". Deadlines are for a business not the hobbyist. I wood work for fun. If I quit having fun (frustration for example) I quit. I do better work safer and ruin less lumber that way.
