I'd half to go with the angle grinder with the wire wheel. It seems to
grab whatever's available and toss it around the shop, or into me.
A couple years ago a piece of wire tossed itself into my hand, between
2 fingers. I thought most of it was sticking out, which was about an
inch long. Turns out those wires are around 3 inches long, with most of
it inside me.....
I now wear gloves.....although they get caught quite easily as well
inside the wheel. I also realized how important the goggles are!

You only have to get a piece of rusty steel lodged in your eyeball once
to reinforce the importance of eye protection. And safety glasses are
not enough. I have had bits come around the glasses and get in the eye.
So I always wear goggles when operating any power tools.
