I was not so lucky a six weeks ago....................... I now where a full shield when working with that particular tool.

A full face shield is the only way to go. I know one guy that came very close to loosing an eye and they had a hard time saving it.
I have another friend that spent a week with me recently that did loose an eye a year ago pressing bushings in an a-arm and it popped out and hit him in the eye. I'll now use a face shield when pressing u-joints, bushings, etc.. He had a parts store that he sold to his son and was doing the pressing for one of his son's customers and said he had done it thousands of times before. It just takes once.
...........and he just called me the other day after two weeks in the hospital. He was driving his '41 Ford pickup in the rain and spun out off the road and it rolled and destroyed it and he bounce around inside the cab and did a lot of serious damage to himself. He had taken the time to put seat belts in the truck, but wasn't wearing them.
Let's be safe guys..............
