the solution for chuck keys, wrenches, etc is to always hold them in your
hand - if you don't let go until it's removed from the tool, you won't
start the tool with the wrench attached. (works for me)

That's only half the solution. The other half is to make sure you put it
down in the same place every time, so you know where it is the next time
you need it.

Use a key with a spring loaded center pin which pops the key out if you
let go. I store the key on the right side of the belt housing with one
of those dime diameter rare earth magnets. The key _won't_ fall off on
its own.

Here in Australia we have some stuff called Denkorub which is a deep
heat type thing for muscle soreness - after a football game you can
usually smell the change rooms from 200 feet away because of the
stuff.

You learn at an early age to wash your hands twice before you go to
the dunny after using the stuff.

I recently made a donut chuck from MDF so I can reverse mount a bowl and
detail and sand the bottom. I made it with sections of threaded rod so I
can adjust a wide range of bowl heights. My first one was rather short so
I had about 4 inches of threaded rod exposed out the backside of the chuck
(I figured there would not be a safety issue on the backside) On my first
run the thing went great, the bottom cleaned up beautifully. I was so
proud, my head grew two sizes, proportionally my safety awareness shrank
two sizes and I reached to turn of the machine......passing my hand right
through the spinning threaded rods that I couldn't see spinning at
1000rpm.
I got one of those nasty THUMP...OUCH....grab your hand and squeeze while
your mind wonders if your fingers are still going to be attached and in
one piece when you look.. Luckily it only caused some minor bruising and
small cuts. Once bitten, twice shy.....

Or refinishing a hardwood floor, make sure the switch for the edger is off
before plugging in 20 feet of extension cord (especially when you have done
the finish coat on the main section of the floor, and there's 60-grit in the
edger).

I picked up a spring-loaded chain (looks kind of like a
small tape measure) that clips to one's belt/waistband, to hold
keys handily. I mounted it inside the belt housing on my press
with an "L" bracket, and, after pulling the chain through a
hole drilled in the bottom of the housing, hooked the chuck key
to it. Now..It is hanging handily out of the way, and, having the
chain attached to it makes it unlikely that it will get left
in the chuck by accident. The spring-loading, while strong enough
to retract the chuck if I let go of it, does not make it a
struggle to use the chuck.

I have no idea what you're talking about. You also shouldn't run your

At least that's what I read somewhere.

Ever spliced an extension cord to make it longer. Here's how:

1) carefully uplug the drill from the end
2) get pocket knife
3) admire new hole in pocket knife blade
4) unplug remainder of cord
5) reset breaker

I heard that the scots regiments took fewer casualties from mustard
gas because of the argyle socks, which, because they are 100% wood
with lanoline, were resistant to the gas.

Mind you, I'm not sure I buy that. But it makes a good story.

Here are two that you CAN look up, though.

The scots DID, in fact wear thier kilts into battle during WWI.

They fought so fiercely that thier German opponents honored them with
the epithet: The Ladies from Hell.
