Heh, don't know that I'd trust a Harmful Freight device with my eyesight, but there are many other suppliers that will carry name-brand eye protection.
yea, that's why I basically said any other tool store But even Amazon was busted recently for selling counterfiets The goggle type devices are often called "cutting glasses" or
"cutting goggles" because they're only used when cutting or welding with an oxy-fuel torch -- electric arc welding requires full face protection from the UV given off by the arc as it'll sunburn any exposed skin. Many big box hardware stores carry either Lincoln, Hobart, or Miller branded safety gear, which is fine, safe stuff.
yea, I don't mind paying extra for those either I don't have a welding mask any longer for many years, simply because I don't have room to weld anything. I was going to check the other local tool stores around here if they have the same goggles in stock
We went in for new glasses last week, and the optometrist had cardboard and film filter glasses for free in their lobby.
now that is one I would be very leery about trusting for my eyesight, it's sounds no different than the gimmicky sunglasses sold elsewhere -- _ ____ / \__/ Scotty, We Need More Power !! \_/ _\__ Aye, Cap'n, but we've only got 80 col's !!
