When I had the shop safety glasses were always a sore spot with me.
I could order a dozen pair of them and a week later somebody would be asking me if I had anymore.
I would walk through the shop and see a pair somebody had dropped something on, another pair someone melted with sparks from an angle grinder or welder along with some that were set lens down on metal benches and were so badly scratched they were about useless.
To solve the problem I went and bought about a dozen pair of the expensive ones, tinted, chromed, fancy frames etc. ($20 price range)
I had everyone in the shop come and pick out a pair and I told them I don't care if you quit or leave tomorrow, the glasses are yours to keep.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
