That fancy fire blanket I bought was a waste of money
I spent $80 on a high end fire blanket last month after watching some welding safety videos. Thought it would be way better than the old beat up one I got from my foreman. First time I used it on a job in Pittsburgh, the thing just melted and stuck to some hot siding. My old cotton blanket actually held up better. I was really skeptical that the cheap stuff could be better, but now I see it's about fabric weight not fancy labels. Anyone else have a safety tool that just didn't work as advertised?

The fabric weight thing really changed my mind after I saw it happen too.

The part about fabric weight, was that with bedsheets or something else? I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you could prove it changes your mind just by seeing the weight difference on a scale or something. That seems way too simple but maybe there's a trick to it.
