This eye protection is Bull Shit!!!

You need a pair of these sucka's, but you'll still end up with something in your eye trust me,lol...

You need a full fresh air completely sealed hood to not get metal in your eyes!!! LOL ive had metal in my eyes several times and i wear goggles and face shield.. i think my eyes are magnetic!!

Another thing that helps is holding the grinder in such a way that the majority of the sparks goes away from you, however there are times when it cant be helped.

Ihave those magnetic eyes also HA HA HA. I get shiot in them all the time. I had one pc. removed from my pupil a few years ago. Now I use glasses and a fullface shield.

I wear the clear safety goggles i got from home depot. They fog up a little but not bad. I started wearing them after I had a sliver of metal from a cutoff wheel removed from my eye. The doc took a pic of my eye with the metal in it and a ring of rust around it. After seeing and feeling that I dont want to go through that again.

I just rock yellow tint safety glasses for the most part. I cant work with a shield on.My buddy prefers the squint and pray method. I'm sure it'll bite him in the ass someday.

you can always strap a huge magnet on your head and youll be good lol

Man somebody needs to make some sort of protective contacts that would resist a fling piece of metal..

I sell safety equipment for a construction company and we have this problem a lot.

A good quality brand is Pyramex Safety Glasses, model Venture 2. You can get the lenses in a variety of lens options and they hug your face very well.

GLASSES DO ALOT MORE THAN SOME OF YOU THINK.JUST LAST WEEK I WAS WEARING JUST MY EYEGLASSES(NORMALLY WEARING CONTACTS)AND I WAS BENDING A PIECE OF ALUMINUM TUBE IN HALF WHEN IT SNAPPED AND GOUGED ME RIGHT IN THE EYE.SCRATCHED THE HELL OUTTA MY NEW GLASSES.HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE GLASSES LENS,I WOULD HAVE SURELY LOST MY LEFT EYE.SO GUYS,PLEASE DONT LET THIS POST MAKE YOU STOP WEARING YOUR SAFETYS.YOUR VISION IS VERY IMPORTANT AND CANNOT BE REGAINED AFTER ITS LOST.
