    Some key takeaways from the passage are that using proper safety techniques and having a good safety attitude can help prevent injuries when using hand and power tools.

    Most wrench accidents are caused by the wrench slipping off the bolt or nut being turned. Using 'cheater bars' can also increase risk of injury.

    Power tools should have either double insulation, indicated by only having two prongs on the plug, or proper grounding with a three-prong plug. The third prong signifies the tool is grounded.
