The quotation "safety rules are your best tools" means that following safety guidelines and precautions is the most effective way to protect oneself and others from harm or accidents.
One of the safety rules you should NOT follow when using hand tools is: B. If a tool has tape on the wooden handle, it is okay to use if the tape looks fresh. While some amount of tape may be used to provide grip or prevent splinters, it is generally not recommended to rely on tape to determine the safety of a tool.
