I'd love to learn how you solved the reflection issue the yellow causes when wearing those Dewalt goggles. I'm personally prone to Ocular Migraines and my glasses alone can cause an issue. The Dewalt goggles cause a double ghosting effect due to not eliminating enough light penetration through the silicone surrounding the large plastic lens. For me I end up seeing my own eyes looking back at me while wearing those. Personally I've looked into dying, or painting the silicone to improve the light blocking, but I've yet to find a good solution.
I have a pair of safety glasses with prescription (payed for by my work). My nose gets itchy and eyes watering when I put on googles over my normal glasses Also have a pair of safety boots with steel sole, so everyday is leg day
@@herculesbrofister265 you still can't use glass eyes to see ;-) And with the exception of a few experiments cybernetic eyes are still in the experimental stage ...
Eye doc here. I’ve seen the horrific things and I’ve treated those horrific things. The Dewalts are hands down my favorite. They are what I wear in my shop. And they are what I recommend to patients. Worn over prescription safety glasses, they provide better protection and they help Rx lenses last longer.
Donkey Slayer I fortunately don’t require a prescription. But most any US optical will sell you a pair of Z87.1 prescription glasses that were made at a certified lab in the US. The brand isn’t as important as the source.
Heck yeah! I looked at my Amazon history and saw that I bought a pair of these about 3 years ago. I routinely wear them over my rx glasses (or even sunglasses, depending on where I'm working.) Had a chunk of plywood come off a table saw about a year ago and hit me square in the bridge of my nose. Probably would have cut me real well had I not had these on, and a few mm to either side could have been a bad day. The googles just have a little scuff there.
I LOL'ed at that too. I love Adam and admire what an amazing maker he is but his shop safety makes me cringe. I can totally understand why he drove Jamie crazy.
@@Jesiahjesiah But then they start fogging and you can't see. It's a tradeoff. I have understood that the eye procetion is mostly for the direct mist/spray of potentially infectious particles. As the breathing doen's go through that, there is very little air movement into or out of it (the main reason for fogging). If you want 100% quarantee then you need laboratory grade safety gear.
I think we can count on one hand the number of times he wears hearing protection. I'm also surprised he still has all of his fingers considering how he operates a tables saw
Adam, I’m a public school teacher, and I was struck by the truth of your statement, “A low threshold of entry encourages use.” It is the same in any classroom in the world-we learn to guide our students to grow in their understanding of the world and to wrestle with challenging ideas by presenting a path that appears less intimidating in order to build their confidence to learn to explore the world on their own. Thanks for so eloquently sharing your wisdom. It was appreciated.
Was drunk last night and watched the first season of mythbusters for the first time in ages. Adam, you’re awesome and I have learned so much from you over the years. Also, you’ve aged like fine wine!!!
Here’s mine : About 5 years ago and just before I went to work in the morning I decided in my wisdom that it would be a good idea to use the dremel to shorten a tiny bolt that was just a tad too long. Annoyingly I couldn’t find my safety goggles, and thinking it would just be a 5 second job I carried on. Didn’t feel anything dramatic initially, but an hour after the job was done I felt that there was probably some dust on my eye - tried washing that off but no joy. It started hurting like crap the next day, so off to the hospital I went.. The eye specialist took a look through the scope and said “it seems there is a metal shard lodged in your eyeball.. and it was probably quite hot when it impacted cos it’s caused a burn... and it’s started to rust...” 😱😱😱😱 Long story short, he managed to get the shard out of the eye (thankfully it was 3mm off and on a part of the eyeball where I wouldn’t notice the scarring), And I’m perfectly fine today. So goggles, everyone!
This will be the second of Adam's videos that I'm forwarding a link to our OSHA teacher. Gotta love it when a well known professional posts "lessons learned" - especially someone of Adam's caliber and fame. Admire a man that not only admits mistakes, but helps others learn from them as well.
I purchased these goggles along with a nice case for them on Amazon, and I already love them! Thanks, Adam, for a great suggestion. I have several other tools you've recommended in m cart to buy as money permits. I wanted to share my story of eye damage. I have managed to escape eye damage from most dangerous maker projects, shooting guns, and lots of yardwork. But a long time ago I did landscaping for a living and was hurriedly flinging pine bark mulch out of the back of a truck into a new flower bed to get done and go home for the day. I managed to get a tiny piece of bark lodged in my eye. What a painful injury! I also had to go to the eye doctor to get it removed, and she said it scratched my eyeball. It was sore and burning for several days after that. I was super careful from then on. I plan to use these goggles both for maker projects and yardwork such as weed whacking. Thanks again for the great suggestion.
Side shields and impact rated glasses Adam. That way you are always wearing your safety goggles. I worked in a furniture manufacturing plant for 8 years.
My pops worked on a shop floor all his life. He had the side shields and safety rates lenses, too. As long as they sit up on your face they're fine. He still managed to get the one wayward chip to land in his eye. Came right in from the top. It was easier to remove because it had lost all momentum by then and basically fell in but those are still no guarantee. Goggles look like better protection to me.
Prescription safety glasses aren't too expensive of an option either. Wearing safety glasses or goggles over my eye glasses always give me a headache, so prescription safety glasses are a lifesaver and provide decent protection for most situations.
@@TheRavenCoder It took me way too long to get some proper ones. I didn't think it worth the expense as I rarely wore them, but now that I have nice ones, I wear them all the time. Shocking!
I'll go ya one further and advocate something like the WileyX wraparound prescription safety glasses. I wear them any time I'm on the flight line or in the factory. I've lost the foam gasket, but I bet that'd help with glasses fogging in the COVID times.
Adam I appreciate you showing the young and upcoming makers that they need to practice safety. They want look up to you and aspire to be like you you showing them what they need to achieve this is great. Please keep this up.
Glad you came around and start wearing your PPE.... it’s a lot better then being in the ER and loosing something that you could have avoided. Stay Safe Everyone!
As someone who spends a lot of time on the water, the advice in this video is also absolutely applicable to PFDs (life jackets). They can only save your life if you wear them, and so many people don't wear the ones they have because the ones they have are uncomfortable. It is so important to find one that is comfortable because once you have a PFD that is comfortable, you are a million times more likely to actually wear it.
As a wearer of prescription glasses, fogging goggles have been the bane of my existence. After watching this video, I immediately bought not only the goggles, but also the protective case. I can't say they're perfect, but they are by far the best goggles I've used in my 40+ years of making. Thank you, Adam, for making me aware, and Dewalt for the excellent product that will hopefully last me for years to come.
Bought the KORE Ballistic and ansi rated shooting glasses and so far love them. They have magnets that secure them on a sleeve or in your pocket. Also the strap to use to hold them to the visor. They say they are superior for using at the range. They are now my everyday sunglasses… better then my Oakleys.
I've got a pair of those Dewalt goggles when I put down laminate floors in my son's nursery a few years back. I love them and use them often. Good reminder to buy a few extra pairs.
As a glasses wearer who has a pair of these, I can attest to how nice they are. Adam’s 100% right about them. They’re comfortable and cheap, and fit over my glasses really well. My only real complaint is that they do sometimes like to take my glasses with them when I take them off, but that’s a minor inconvenience.
Thank you for bringing these goggles to the foreground!! I live in Australia, and recently got into Gelsoft (Airsoft, but with 8mm orbeez because pellets bad) and was having a hard time finding eye protection that works with glasses. I came across these at the hardware store, and immediately tried them and they fit so well and aren't super obtrusive, easily the best investment I've made in my sport. Now I just need a second pair that I can modify with a mini fan for during the game...
You think they can take a 400fps airsoft hit without damaging them? If possible please test them out and post a video! I’m dead serious, if you do i’ll buy and ship you an extremely cool gel blaster!
Yesterday I had over-glasses safety glasses on as usual and a piece of grinding debris got into my eye. I was able to flush it out. I’ve had near misses before. I just ordered the Googles. You were my motivation. Thanks and u deserve the bitty commission.
Good to see you advocating this. I've started letting my son ( 6 yo) use the shop (closet) a bit now with just a hammer and some nails and the only rule is that he has to wear safety glasses at all times.
You can date these videos by the cleanliness of Adam's apron. It's clean in this video, so it must have been shot some time ago. As always PPE is essential.
I noticed the same as above, this new apron is all pen/Pencil pockets on the breast; earlier I remember a half/half affair where the right(?) side was a normal pocket and the opposite half was pen/pencil slots
Hi everyone, I think you are matbe right, actually knowing those that watch thr channel, I can probably saw I am sure you are right. Good spot, I thought I was ahead of the game aaaaah (in a pirate sort way)😉
@@aserta yep- DIY suicide machine almost. The sad thing is the channel who he ripped off the design from just used regular ice ( water )- then he had the audacity to do a copyright strike against thunderf00t when he highlighted how utterly stupid CRH was...
Totally agree Adam, I was cleaning my goggles yesterday thinking just how underrated goggles are. I had a piece of something in my eye for a week until it worked it’s way out. Never again! Wear safety goggles!!!!
I have spent a few years now working with metal, twice I have got metal fragments in my eye from die grinding steel (I do anything to avoid it but sometime it has to be done) Both times it happen i was wearing goggles, the fragments were in my hair and fell down, even after a shop shower with a airline, eyes closed. I am not saying goggles don't work, I just feel its a lesson to learn that even when the cutting is done the fragments are still there.
The two most important lessons I've learned today (1) - When searching for Adam Savage's videos, spelling is important. "Adam Savage Testes" doesn't necessarily return the same search results as "Adam Savage Tested" and (2)- Good safety goggles are worth their weight in gold. Adam, while you're at it, check out "RZ Masks". Good stuff.
For keeping my Optivisor or Safety glasses dust and scratch free I use the cloth pouches that new sheet sets come in. Most times they have a Velcro closure, they are washable, they are durable, and they look luxe in the shop!
I've been in workshops most of my life like probably a lot of people who watch these videos. For years I never wore any real safety stuff, gloves, goggles, ear protection. Until I started working in a lab. Everything there was set up to make safety easy. Goggles by the machines that needed them and gloves the same. Since then I have made safety easy and I will never go back. I don't wear glasses so my go too goggles are a pair of 3M safety glasses and they practically live on my face
Some parts don't grow back! Never compromise on protecting those. I was once cutting the exhaust off my car with an angle grinder, wearing the standard blocky safety glasses with side-guards, and a hot shard found its way in anyway. Sometimes there is no replacement for sealing to the face! Only time I've been to the doctor for a making-injury, and fortunately it turned out my cornea was just burnt, nothing left behind embedded. Another time I was shooting a brad-nailer into the edge of some MDF ...upwards ...and I was above it. No safety glasses like a fool. One blew out and I got pelted in the eyes with what turned out to be wood bits, but later found the nail lodged in the ceiling drywall! I still have that nail as a reminder. As we say in the motorcycle world (at least those of us who both ride fast and continue to have skin), All The Gear, All The Time folks!
Working in an entertainment shop in Las Vegas for 12+ years , I use the same dewalt safety goggles. The only downfall is they have little air vent slits on the top and bottom to prevent them from fogging up. Many times I had debris come in my goggles so...I ended up sealing them with tape and now nothing gets in. Great goggles over all! Would recommend
OK got 'em ... I could only snag 2 as that's all the seller had... I notice every time you make a tool tip the stuff runs out fast! Eyes are important, so are ears, hands, everything! Safety in the shop is no joke and I even keep a stocked fully OSHA compliant First Aid kit even though I am one guy in a *home* maker space. The best project I did was make a PPE and First Aid station that has all that stuff and it's near by the front door of my shop so it's the first thing I grab when I go in to do any work... Hope everyone stays and works safe in their shops . . . Remember the motto: "Be Prepared!" Adam, Thanks so much for posting this reminder
Adam, you should *never* wait when it's an eye injury. That piece of metal could have done a heck of a lot of damage overnight. Go to the ER. Many ERs have eye doctors on staff/on call to handle eye injuries. That said...glad you're okay. 😊
Thank god, I wear glasses and finding eye pro for making and shooting has always been a problem and ive always wanted goggles but never knew any that worked
I wear those SWAT type big goggles for working in the shop. They are not too heavy, but are rugged. They are super rubbery so they form to your head pretty well. I have a few pair so never have an excuse for not using them.
I am an electronicist, so my work is typically at the scale of integrated circuits and their enclosures. This means that I don't have large tools around my shop, I have a large desk with hand tools around it. As all of my work is centered in one workspace I don't wear goggles, instead I have a pane of acrylic mounted to two pieces of lock-line that arc over my monitors. When I am soldering or clipping wire or any other potentially hazardous activity I pull the pane down in between my face and my work like a fume hood. It is much quicker and less cumbersome then putting on goggles so I actually do it every time.
Yep. I like those. I find when using an angle grinder, the cooling fan in the tool sometimes blows air right at my face and regular safety glasses will not stop the air from swirling around the edge and carrying stuff into my eyes. I even use those when mowing (riding mower) for the same basic reason; light dust, grass and wood particles get kicked up into the air and the air swirls around regular safety glasses. Goggles work much better.
Funny timing for this video, I just bought some safety goggles yesterday and they arrived today! Hundred percent agree, protect your eyes! Glad to hear your accident wasn't life changing!
As a ( former ) gigging trombonist I’ve always subscribed to the method of “if I find a piece to the hard machine, ie any part that goes in or on the trombone or replaces a part of it, that works better than what I have now I spend time in the practice room to find out what can achieve the same result by simply improving the soft machine ( me ). There’s a difference here that I don’t need to spend another $300 on a mouthpiece if I can just practice my craft, but you do need to spend $15 on goggles if your current ones don’t fit or are scratched up. There are grey areas, but generally a musician can achieve great flexibility with simple tools most of the time, but a maker has a much larger tool box and needs more specificity
I have those same goggles and wear them whenever I am cutting or filing or sanding to prevent dust and fragments from going around regular safety glasses. I find my eyes feel better the next day by comparison. I also forget I put them on and start looking around for them when I am about to cut something else only to find I am already wearing them. They are cheap and comfortable and fit over prescription eye glasses.
Could not agree more! A month ago, I had to glue some magnets that came loose from my fridge magnet/hand towel hanger. I used cyanoacrylate glue (the liquid kind) to stick them in place. I was done, took off my goggles (the glue fume irritates my eyes) & about to leave the fridge magnet to dry when suddenly, the magnets jumped, attracted to one another. The attraction made for a quick & powerful smack, causing the liquid cyanoacrylate glue to splash right into my left eye before I could look away. It dried up quickly and I could not stop blinking. And then, I couldn't see clearly. Made the run to a nearby hospital and they flushed it out with some solutions. So, wear goggles, just to be on the safe side!
My favorite safety glasses story comes from my last job. we were all given a couple pairs of the same glasses. I decided to start decorating the temples on mine because I often misplaced them. The flip side of decorating them is production would often call me out if I forgot them while on call. Everyone had gotten so interested in the designs that they started to pay more attention to safety equipment.
Safety goggles are a must! I had to visit the eye doctor before after getting a metal fleck in my eye. The eye doctor had to polish the rust off of my eyeball and it was not pleasant. They use numbing eye drops that work great, I couldn’t feel anything, but I could still SEE everything! At least, until I passed out.
I own a pair of Carhartt modular safety goggles, have used them through service in a desert climate and in my "shop" with an angle grinder. Very pleased with those.
Some years ago when I worked in a lab, was pouring ethanol. An unexpected glug created a drop that arced up two feet and over the top of my moderate sized glasses and into my eye. Burned like hell, but a trip to the eyewash station and 15 minutes I was more or less okay. I was very lucky. Safety glasses are sometimes not enough. Be safe - use full protection. $12 for cool looking goggles in nothing compared to your vision. Thanks Adam!
I have those exact goggles and swear by them. My favorite thing about them is they never mist up. I also love how ‘Evil doom lord’ I look when I wear them with my respirator. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m wearing in my avatar lol
It's crazy, I just got my new DeWalt Safety glasses in the mail yesterday. I don't need glass covers, but I got them becasue they are "fog resistant". I visit automotive factories frequently and having a nice set of safety glasses is a real plus. Some of the cheap ones they supply are really sucky and now that we have to wear surgical masks the fogging is a real pain. The importance of protecting your eyes can not be over stated.
Two pair in my place. Lost use of my right eye when I was 7 years old. I do NOT slack on my eye protection! The Dewalts were my favorites in recent years.
the first word of ppe is personal for a reason. every piece of equipment should be a personal fit for your requirments. one does not fit all. your boss should provide you with a variety in all forms of personal protective equipment. this is written in law. great advice again adam.
"Side shields" are available that attach to the ear pieces and fill the open space. They turn your ordinary glasses into simple goggles and you never need to remember to put them on. A friend of mine worked in a cabinet shop and swore by them. They are made in several sizes to fit different shapes of eyeglass frames. You should look into them.
For years I'd mark stuff out, then take my prescription glasses off and put safety glasses on to make a cut. But I wanted to improve accuracy, which meant being safe, AND being able to see! Settled on a nice pair of Bole goggles which I really like, one of the best shop purchases I've made.
Regarding being lucky. I have used angle grinders a lot during the years, both at work and hobby like working on cars. I have always used googles like the one you (Adam) show here, both for grinding discs and cutting discs. Last time I used an angle grinder I used it to cut of a rusted fastener on a car with a thin cutting disc. This time I choose to wear a full "face shield" because it was close. This was also the first time a cutting disc exploded and most of the disc hit my "face" or in this case the mask. So just a tip for people using thing cutting discs, of course it's most important to protect your eyes, but it can do a lot of damage on other parts of your face too so wear a full "face shield"
Fully agree. I got mugged many years ago and ended up being rushed to A&E to have the glass fragments removed from my left eye. I spent two weeks in the eye hospital as they worked to ensure my brain did not switch off the bad eye. Apparently, if that happens it's irreversible. Luckily the damaged eye was recovered to almost it's original state. So, I wear a 3M full face shield when machining, routing, etc.
That experience you made, I made when I was 5 years old. We had a workshop in kindergarten and we just build stupid/funny constructions with wood and nails. A tiny bit chipped of from the nail and hit me in the eye. It was a nightmare. They had to remove it with a very fine drill and something like a high tech dremel. You can imagine how a 5 year old feels when he sees a drill coming towards his eye and is told to hold still...
Years ago, I was scraping drops of paint off windows. One rather tenacious bit finally popped off and flew into my eye. Turns out, it was actually a tiny bit of welding slag. Before I could get it out, it scratched my eye and I was having a difficult time sleeping because closing my eyes irritated the scratch. I went to an ophthalmologist before I had to suffer a three-day holiday weekend. As soon as they put analgesic in my eye, I felt the first relief in a couple days. They then used the tip of a 25 ga hypodermic needle to tease out the three razor blade fragments eye that were starting to rust. What I had thought was the bit of slag was actually the bits of the razor that broke under the pressure. So, yes, big proponent now of (wrap around) safety glasses/goggles.
Broken Syntax I know right, been looking for those a long time and the price never drop. Look at canadian tire they have those but still at a high price :(
I have come home from work to realize i had my laminate iron on all day long on my wooden work desk. Occasionally left soldering iron as well. My safety protocol now is that anything that heats up in my shop is plugged into a powerstrip that also has some kind of light that is always turned on. Now i can just glance around my shop and if any lights are on i know i need to turn that power strip off.
Yes, a hundred times, this. I wear safety glasses when hiking, also. Caught a branch in the eye about three years ago, still hasn't quite healed. Jumped right under my glasses. Use a fume extractor when soldering/welding too! Or at least use a fan.
Impact rated folding tactical goggle. Cup gaskets fit tight to the face along the ocular orbit, does NOT significantly impeded peripheral vision, and you can keep them in a pocket to have at the ready at ALL times for whenever you might need eye protection. Used them for decades for everyday eye protection. And they look "bad ass". A full face shield over top of whatever goggles or glasses you choose to wear while doing any metal work process is a really good plan. If you need breathing protection too, then I'm a huge fan of full face shield, impact rated, respirator masks.
I bought a lawnmower in March as the lawnmower guy I knew was no longer working due to lock downs. I read through the manual, and it said to wear safety gear, including long sleeves and pants, boots, gloves, googles and ear protection. Is there a high risk of me having to need all that protection just to mow the lawn? No, not on most days. But is it worthwhile having the safety gear when something goes wrong? Absolutely. I'll use safety googles when I am pruning, as bushes will sometimes spring back after pruning and hit you in the face. It doesn't mean you should not be careful, but it definitely reduces the risk of injury if something goes on. Safety first people! :-D
The goggles that fit my weird crazy unique face/head: those exactly Dewalt goggles. I've been using them for about 6 years now. I have others, but it's long past time to donate them, because I never use them after getting the Dewalt pair. Very comfortable, full protection, never fog up.
As a machinist and glasses-wearer, I really wanted to give this video more than one thumbs-up. Eye protection is very important! Leave wearing eye-patches to the pirates.
Being employed at an aluminum manufacturing plant, and having a shard of aluminum almost being lodged in my eye, I am a firm believer in safety goggles! I know wear prescription safety glasses and have the very same pair of DeWalt goggles at home!
Safety glasses saved me an eye. Drill in a drill press snapped, raw end punched the center of the left lens, bounced up from the floor before I had time to blink. Factory rules that I was wearing specs, but it made a convert of me.
I use the dewalt safety glasses (not goggles) all the time, both for the safety aspect and because I get the bifocal ones. I work in a lab deprocessng integrated circuits. So everything is small, the magnification the bifocal gives me helps out a lot. I have the glasses straps on them. There are two pair on my desk at work, one pair on my desk at home and another tinted pair at home for working outside.
I've moved to using those full face shields with integrated respirators for lots of my activities. Chunks of things in your face and eyes are bad, but anything in your lungs is possibly worse over the long haul and you never even know about them until later in life. Stainless steel fumes are a prime example.
Just a tip. If you get any small chips in your eyes...NOT SOMETHING IN THE EYE ITSELF.... keep a magnet around and cover it with a soft white cloth and pass it over your eye area slow and sometimes it will grab small bits saving a trip to the doctor. Of course it only works on iron. Do not touch your eyeball. The white cloth is used to see the chip easy.
As a non glasses wearer: so far the best safety glasses I’ve enjoyed so far are the 3m flat temple glasses. They fit nice and close and work well when you have other things on your head like headphones or hearing protection. Lots of people in my family wear glasses and I’ll be checking out these goggles! Eyes are important to protect for sure!
I would recommend checking out mesh eye goggles as well. Instead if a lens, they have a fine mesh so it still protects your eye, but they dont fog up like most goggles and safety glasses do after working hard.

I'd love to learn how you solved the reflection issue the yellow causes when wearing those Dewalt goggles.
I'm personally prone to Ocular Migraines and my glasses alone can cause an issue. The Dewalt goggles cause a double ghosting effect due to not eliminating enough light penetration through the silicone surrounding the large plastic lens.
For me I end up seeing my own eyes looking back at me while wearing those.
Personally I've looked into dying, or painting the silicone to improve the light blocking, but I've yet to find a good solution.
The yellow tint used to be issued to our night shift workers in their safety specs to combat glare - I never tried them because I never worked nights.
I have a pair of safety glasses with prescription (payed for by my work).
My nose gets itchy and eyes watering when I put on googles over my normal glasses
Also have a pair of safety boots with steel sole, so everyday is leg day
Thee's loads of negative reviews on amazon saying they do so fog up and aren't anti-fogging at all.
as my shop teacher once said, you can still grab and walk with a prosthetic limb but you cant see with a prosthetic eye
They make glass eyes
@@herculesbrofister265 you still can't use glass eyes to see ;-)

Heck yeah! I looked at my Amazon history and saw that I bought a pair of these about 3 years ago. I routinely wear them over my rx glasses (or even sunglasses, depending on where I'm working.) Had a chunk of plywood come off a table saw about a year ago and hit me square in the bridge of my nose. Probably would have cut me real well had I not had these on, and a few mm to either side could have been a bad day. The googles just have a little scuff there.

I’m a nurse. I wear these in COVID rooms. They’re super comfortable, and don’t fog.
I was wondering about this. They seem perfect for COVID eye protection. Well, maybe nothing is perfect, but these sure seem close.
I use them as well. Firefighter EMT and I use them for all isolation calls. Thank you for sharing.
When the hardware Shop and medical need collide...
these have rather large ventilation holes. Do you do anything to fill those in to create a true seal?
@@Jesiahjesiah But then they start fogging and you can't see. It's a tradeoff. I have understood that the eye procetion is mostly for the direct mist/spray of potentially infectious particles.

I fucking hope so. I have a heart attack every time he cuts foam.
@@Rotsuoy you mean anytime he cuts anything? Or sands anything, or lacquers anything etc

@@GhostOfUhd still haven't seen him use safety glasses. Though maybe I haven't seen the ones where it was necessary
"weird, specific type of face" is pretty accurate to me lmao
still wanna protect it tho because it's MY weird, specific face
My go-to line in the brain-bucket vs. full-face motorcycle helmet debate is "My face isn't much to look at, but I've grown attached to it!"
"I don't like being lucky. I like being smart!" - Han and Talon Karrde having a stare off
Talon Karrde... that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Here’s mine :
About 5 years ago and just before I went to work in the morning I decided in my wisdom that it would be a good idea to use the dremel to shorten a tiny bolt that was just a tad too long.
Annoyingly I couldn’t find my safety goggles, and thinking it would just be a 5 second job I carried on.
Didn’t feel anything dramatic initially, but an hour after the job was done I felt that there was probably some dust on my eye - tried washing that off but no joy. It started hurting like crap the next day, so off to the hospital I went..
The eye specialist took a look through the scope and said “it seems there is a metal shard lodged in your eyeball.. and it was probably quite hot when it impacted cos it’s caused a burn... and it’s started to rust...” 😱😱😱😱
Long story short, he managed to get the shard out of the eye (thankfully it was 3mm off and on a part of the eyeball where I wouldn’t notice the scarring), And I’m perfectly fine today.
So goggles, everyone!
This will be the second of Adam's videos that I'm forwarding a link to our OSHA teacher. Gotta love it when a well known professional posts "lessons learned" - especially someone of Adam's caliber and fame. Admire a man that not only admits mistakes, but helps others learn from them as well.
I purchased these goggles along with a nice case for them on Amazon, and I already love them! Thanks, Adam, for a great suggestion. I have several other tools you've recommended in m cart to buy as money permits. I wanted to share my story of eye damage. I have managed to escape eye damage from most dangerous maker projects, shooting guns, and lots of yardwork. But a long time ago I did landscaping for a living and was hurriedly flinging pine bark mulch out of the back of a truck into a new flower bed to get done and go home for the day. I managed to get a tiny piece of bark lodged in my eye. What a painful injury! I also had to go to the eye doctor to get it removed, and she said it scratched my eyeball. It was sore and burning for several days after that. I was super careful from then on. I plan to use these goggles both for maker projects and yardwork such as weed whacking. Thanks again for the great suggestion.
Side shields and impact rated glasses Adam.
That way you are always wearing your safety goggles.
I worked in a furniture manufacturing plant for 8 years.
My pops worked on a shop floor all his life. He had the side shields and safety rates lenses, too. As long as they sit up on your face they're fine. He still managed to get the one wayward chip to land in his eye. Came right in from the top. It was easier to remove because it had lost all momentum by then and basically fell in but those are still no guarantee. Goggles look like better protection to me.
Prescription safety glasses aren't too expensive of an option either. Wearing safety glasses or goggles over my eye glasses always give me a headache, so prescription safety glasses are a lifesaver and provide decent protection for most situations.
@@TheRavenCoder It took me way too long to get some proper ones. I didn't think it worth the expense as I rarely wore them, but now that I have nice ones, I wear them all the time. Shocking!
I'll go ya one further and advocate something like the WileyX wraparound prescription safety glasses. I wear them any time I'm on the flight line or in the factory.
I've lost the foam gasket, but I bet that'd help with glasses fogging in the COVID times.
Adam I appreciate you showing the young and upcoming makers that they need to practice safety. They want look up to you and aspire to be like you you showing them what they need to achieve this is great. Please keep this up.
Glad you came around and start wearing your PPE.... it’s a lot better then being in the ER and loosing something that you could have avoided. Stay Safe Everyone!
2:52 Well..i think we can all agree, we *need* a video of you and a saxaphone..
I'll be disappointed if it's not the opening of Careless Whisper.

A saxophone video from Adam and hearing protection for us.
Adam Savage playing saxophone in safety goggles
As someone who spends a lot of time on the water, the advice in this video is also absolutely applicable to PFDs (life jackets). They can only save your life if you wear them, and so many people don't wear the ones they have because the ones they have are uncomfortable. It is so important to find one that is comfortable because once you have a PFD that is comfortable, you are a million times more likely to actually wear it.
As a wearer of prescription glasses, fogging goggles have been the bane of my existence. After watching this video, I immediately bought not only the goggles, but also the protective case. I can't say they're perfect, but they are by far the best goggles I've used in my 40+ years of making. Thank you, Adam, for making me aware, and Dewalt for the excellent product that will hopefully last me for years to come.
Bought the KORE Ballistic and ansi rated shooting glasses and so far love them. They have magnets that secure them on a sleeve or in your pocket. Also the strap to use to hold them to the visor. They say they are superior for using at the range. They are now my everyday sunglasses… better then my Oakleys.
I've got a pair of those Dewalt goggles when I put down laminate floors in my son's nursery a few years back. I love them and use them often. Good reminder to buy a few extra pairs.
As a glasses wearer who has a pair of these, I can attest to how nice they are. Adam’s 100% right about them. They’re comfortable and cheap, and fit over my glasses really well. My only real complaint is that they do sometimes like to take my glasses with them when I take them off, but that’s a minor inconvenience.
Thank you for bringing these goggles to the foreground!! I live in Australia, and recently got into Gelsoft (Airsoft, but with 8mm orbeez because pellets bad) and was having a hard time finding eye protection that works with glasses. I came across these at the hardware store, and immediately tried them and they fit so well and aren't super obtrusive, easily the best investment I've made in my sport.
Now I just need a second pair that I can modify with a mini fan for during the game...
You think they can take a 400fps airsoft hit without damaging them? If possible please test them out and post a video! I’m dead serious, if you do i’ll buy and ship you an extremely cool gel blaster!
Yesterday I had over-glasses safety glasses on as usual and a piece of grinding debris got into my eye. I was able to flush it out. I’ve had near misses before. I just ordered the Googles. You were my motivation. Thanks and u deserve the bitty commission.
Finally some goggles from a certified glasses wearer! WIll be checking these out asap.
Good to see you advocating this. I've started letting my son ( 6 yo) use the shop (closet) a bit now with just a hammer and some nails and the only rule is that he has to wear safety glasses at all times.
"There is no other more important safety rule than to wear these, safety glasses." - Norm Abram
I miss that show. I literally grew up watching it. I feel like youtube scratches that itch, but it isn't the same.
Tested and New Yankee Workshop Crossover when?!
You can date these videos by the cleanliness of Adam's apron. It's clean in this video, so it must have been shot some time ago. As always PPE is essential.
I noticed the same as above, this new apron is all pen/Pencil pockets on the breast; earlier I remember a half/half affair where the right(?) side was a normal pocket and the opposite half was pen/pencil slots
its another apron because the other one he has the straps are black and he has a big pocket and some pencil size pockets in the same place
Hi everyone, I think you are matbe right, actually knowing those that watch thr channel, I can probably saw I am sure you are right. Good spot, I thought I was ahead of the game aaaaah (in a pirate sort way)😉
Yep. The pencil slots up top and the green straps mean this is a new apron. Or, an older apron that he simply hasn't worn on camera until now.
He'd better start hitting his new aprons with some rub'n'buff for continuity!
In the words of Crazy Russian Hacker “safety is number one priority!”
Wasn't he the one who made a CO2 generator cooler?
@@aserta yep- DIY suicide machine almost. The sad thing is the channel who he ripped off the design from just used regular ice ( water )- then he had the audacity to do a copyright strike against thunderf00t when he highlighted how utterly stupid CRH was...
Totally agree Adam, I was cleaning my goggles yesterday thinking just how underrated goggles are. I had a piece of something in my eye for a week until it worked it’s way out. Never again! Wear safety goggles!!!!
I have spent a few years now working with metal, twice I have got metal fragments in my eye from die grinding steel (I do anything to avoid it but sometime it has to be done) Both times it happen i was wearing goggles, the fragments were in my hair and fell down, even after a shop shower with a airline, eyes closed. I am not saying goggles don't work, I just feel its a lesson to learn that even when the cutting is done the fragments are still there.
The two most important lessons I've learned today (1) - When searching for Adam Savage's videos, spelling is important. "Adam Savage Testes" doesn't necessarily return the same search results as "Adam Savage Tested" and (2)- Good safety goggles are worth their weight in gold.
Adam, while you're at it, check out "RZ Masks". Good stuff.
For keeping my Optivisor or Safety glasses dust and scratch free I use the cloth pouches that new sheet sets come in. Most times they have a Velcro closure, they are washable, they are durable, and they look luxe in the shop!
Also nerd flaps! It's what my engineering teacher from HS called those little attachments that go on the sides of glasses 😂
I really appreciate you guys listing everything Adam is using. Thank you!
I've had these same ones for years! Love these ones. Definitely a life saver
"There is no more important safety rule, than to wear these, safety glasses."
-Norm Abram, in every show ever
I've been in workshops most of my life like probably a lot of people who watch these videos. For years I never wore any real safety stuff, gloves, goggles, ear protection. Until I started working in a lab. Everything there was set up to make safety easy. Goggles by the machines that needed them and gloves the same. Since then I have made safety easy and I will never go back. I don't wear glasses so my go too goggles are a pair of 3M safety glasses and they practically live on my face
Some parts don't grow back! Never compromise on protecting those.
I was once cutting the exhaust off my car with an angle grinder, wearing the standard blocky safety glasses with side-guards, and a hot shard found its way in anyway. Sometimes there is no replacement for sealing to the face! Only time I've been to the doctor for a making-injury, and fortunately it turned out my cornea was just burnt, nothing left behind embedded.
Another time I was shooting a brad-nailer into the edge of some MDF ...upwards ...and I was above it. No safety glasses like a fool. One blew out and I got pelted in the eyes with what turned out to be wood bits, but later found the nail lodged in the ceiling drywall! I still have that nail as a reminder.
As we say in the motorcycle world (at least those of us who both ride fast and continue to have skin), All The Gear, All The Time folks!
Working in an entertainment shop in Las Vegas for 12+ years , I use the same dewalt safety goggles. The only downfall is they have little air vent slits on the top and bottom to prevent them from fogging up. Many times I had debris come in my goggles so...I ended up sealing them with tape and now nothing gets in. Great goggles over all! Would recommend
OK got 'em ... I could only snag 2 as that's all the seller had... I notice every time you make a tool tip the stuff runs out fast! Eyes are important, so are ears, hands, everything! Safety in the shop is no joke and I even keep a stocked fully OSHA compliant First Aid kit even though I am one guy in a *home* maker space. The best project I did was make a PPE and First Aid station that has all that stuff and it's near by the front door of my shop so it's the first thing I grab when I go in to do any work... Hope everyone stays and works safe in their shops . . . Remember the motto: "Be Prepared!" Adam, Thanks so much for posting this reminder
Adam, you should *never* wait when it's an eye injury. That piece of metal could have done a heck of a lot of damage overnight. Go to the ER. Many ERs have eye doctors on staff/on call to handle eye injuries.
That said...glad you're okay. 😊
Thank god, I wear glasses and finding eye pro for making and shooting has always been a problem and ive always wanted goggles but never knew any that worked
I just ordered a pair now 10 bucks on amazon
I wear those SWAT type big goggles for working in the shop. They are not too heavy, but are rugged. They are super rubbery so they form to your head pretty well. I have a few pair so never have an excuse for not using them.
I am an electronicist, so my work is typically at the scale of integrated circuits and their enclosures. This means that I don't have large tools around my shop, I have a large desk with hand tools around it. As all of my work is centered in one workspace I don't wear goggles, instead I have a pane of acrylic mounted to two pieces of lock-line that arc over my monitors. When I am soldering or clipping wire or any other potentially hazardous activity I pull the pane down in between my face and my work like a fume hood. It is much quicker and less cumbersome then putting on goggles so I actually do it every time.
Yep. I like those. I find when using an angle grinder, the cooling fan in the tool sometimes blows air right at my face and regular safety glasses will not stop the air from swirling around the edge and carrying stuff into my eyes. I even use those when mowing (riding mower) for the same basic reason; light dust, grass and wood particles get kicked up into the air and the air swirls around regular safety glasses. Goggles work much better.
Adam Please be careful we don't want a lose you anytime soon and we worry when we hear and see you hurt. Your our own superhero.
Funny timing for this video, I just bought some safety goggles yesterday and they arrived today! Hundred percent agree, protect your eyes! Glad to hear your accident wasn't life changing!
As a ( former ) gigging trombonist I’ve always subscribed to the method of “if I find a piece to the hard machine, ie any part that goes in or on the trombone or replaces a part of it, that works better than what I have now I spend time in the practice room to find out what can achieve the same result by simply improving the soft machine ( me ). There’s a difference here that I don’t need to spend another $300 on a mouthpiece if I can just practice my craft, but you do need to spend $15 on goggles if your current ones don’t fit or are scratched up. There are grey areas, but generally a musician can achieve great flexibility with simple tools most of the time, but a maker has a much larger tool box and needs more specificity
I have those same goggles and wear them whenever I am cutting or filing or sanding to prevent dust and fragments from going around regular safety glasses. I find my eyes feel better the next day by comparison. I also forget I put them on and start looking around for them when I am about to cut something else only to find I am already wearing them. They are cheap and comfortable and fit over prescription eye glasses.
You had me at "fits over my big glasses."
Could not agree more!
A month ago, I had to glue some magnets that came loose from my fridge magnet/hand towel hanger. I used cyanoacrylate glue (the liquid kind) to stick them in place. I was done, took off my goggles (the glue fume irritates my eyes) & about to leave the fridge magnet to dry when suddenly, the magnets jumped, attracted to one another.
The attraction made for a quick & powerful smack, causing the liquid cyanoacrylate glue to splash right into my left eye before I could look away.
It dried up quickly and I could not stop blinking. And then, I couldn't see clearly.
Made the run to a nearby hospital and they flushed it out with some solutions.
So, wear goggles, just to be on the safe side!
Thank you for covering this, the amount of maker's on UA-cam that I've seen just not use them makes me feel sick.
I've got the same set of DeWalt Goggles! They are the best I've found for keeping sawdust out of my eyes.
My favorite safety glasses story comes from my last job. we were all given a couple pairs of the same glasses. I decided to start decorating the temples on mine because I often misplaced them. The flip side of decorating them is production would often call me out if I forgot them while on call. Everyone had gotten so interested in the designs that they started to pay more attention to safety equipment.
Safety goggles are a must! I had to visit the eye doctor before after getting a metal fleck in my eye. The eye doctor had to polish the rust off of my eyeball and it was not pleasant. They use numbing eye drops that work great, I couldn’t feel anything, but I could still SEE everything! At least, until I passed out.
I own a pair of Carhartt modular safety goggles, have used them through service in a desert climate and in my "shop" with an angle grinder. Very pleased with those.
I’ve got a pair of prescription safety glasses and I am a big fan
Some years ago when I worked in a lab, was pouring ethanol. An unexpected glug created a drop that arced up two feet and over the top of my moderate sized glasses and into my eye. Burned like hell, but a trip to the eyewash station and 15 minutes I was more or less okay. I was very lucky. Safety glasses are sometimes not enough. Be safe - use full protection. $12 for cool looking goggles in nothing compared to your vision. Thanks Adam!
I have those exact goggles and swear by them. My favorite thing about them is they never mist up. I also love how ‘Evil doom lord’ I look when I wear them with my respirator. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m wearing in my avatar lol
It's crazy, I just got my new DeWalt Safety glasses in the mail yesterday. I don't need glass covers, but I got them becasue they are "fog resistant". I visit automotive factories frequently and having a nice set of safety glasses is a real plus. Some of the cheap ones they supply are really sucky and now that we have to wear surgical masks the fogging is a real pain. The importance of protecting your eyes can not be over stated.
close fitting squash glasses are my favorite for working around the shop. I like the comforte and the impact resistance
Two pair in my place. Lost use of my right eye when I was 7 years old. I do NOT slack on my eye protection! The Dewalts were my favorites in recent years.
Safety goggles are essential in almost all lines of work from chemistry to mechanics.
the first word of ppe is personal for a reason. every piece of equipment should be a personal fit for your requirments. one does not fit all. your boss should provide you with a variety in all forms of personal protective equipment. this is written in law. great advice again adam.
"Side shields" are available that attach to the ear pieces and fill the open space. They turn your ordinary glasses into simple goggles and you never need to remember to put them on. A friend of mine worked in a cabinet shop and swore by them. They are made in several sizes to fit different shapes of eyeglass frames. You should look into them.
For years I'd mark stuff out, then take my prescription glasses off and put safety glasses on to make a cut. But I wanted to improve accuracy, which meant being safe, AND being able to see! Settled on a nice pair of Bole goggles which I really like, one of the best shop purchases I've made.
Bought a ski goggle hard case in order to store my Dewalt goggle and it makes it easy store on my tool bag and would recommend this storage method
I have safety prescription glasses with removable side shields. I have been to the optometrist once for foreign objects in my eye.
I ordered these before the video was even over. I could never find a pair that fit over my glasses that wasn't expensive. Thanks for the tip !!!!
Regarding being lucky. I have used angle grinders a lot during the years, both at work and hobby like working on cars. I have always used googles like the one you (Adam) show here, both for grinding discs and cutting discs. Last time I used an angle grinder I used it to cut of a rusted fastener on a car with a thin cutting disc. This time I choose to wear a full "face shield" because it was close. This was also the first time a cutting disc exploded and most of the disc hit my "face" or in this case the mask. So just a tip for people using thing cutting discs, of course it's most important to protect your eyes, but it can do a lot of damage on other parts of your face too so wear a full "face shield"
Fully agree. I got mugged many years ago and ended up being rushed to A&E to have the glass fragments removed from my left eye. I spent two weeks in the eye hospital as they worked to ensure my brain did not switch off the bad eye. Apparently, if that happens it's irreversible. Luckily the damaged eye was recovered to almost it's original state. So, I wear a 3M full face shield when machining, routing, etc.
Thank Adam, followed your advice, and bought the DeWalt goggles because I also wear glasses and they felt super good when I put them on.
Thanks for the video. I went on line and Amazon had the Dewalt goggles on sale. They came today and are great.
That experience you made, I made when I was 5 years old. We had a workshop in kindergarten and we just build stupid/funny constructions with wood and nails. A tiny bit chipped of from the nail and hit me in the eye. It was a nightmare. They had to remove it with a very fine drill and something like a high tech dremel. You can imagine how a 5 year old feels when he sees a drill coming towards his eye and is told to hold still...
Years ago, I was scraping drops of paint off windows. One rather tenacious bit finally popped off and flew into my eye. Turns out, it was actually a tiny bit of welding slag. Before I could get it out, it scratched my eye and I was having a difficult time sleeping because closing my eyes irritated the scratch. I went to an ophthalmologist before I had to suffer a three-day holiday weekend. As soon as they put analgesic in my eye, I felt the first relief in a couple days. They then used the tip of a 25 ga hypodermic needle to tease out the three razor blade fragments eye that were starting to rust. What I had thought was the bit of slag was actually the bits of the razor that broke under the pressure.
So, yes, big proponent now of (wrap around) safety glasses/goggles.
$35 on Amazon in Canada :(
$10 in U.S.
Cheaper to order to the U.S. and ship separately *sigh*
Oh Canada, the shipping is outrageous 🍁
Broken Syntax I know right, been looking for those a long time and the price never drop. Look at canadian tire they have those but still at a high price :(
Ain't so sure about that. I tried to ship a coin, a coin. Cheapest shipping I could get was $15.
Its worth having a look in hardware stores, there's a high chance that they'll stock them for less
I have come home from work to realize i had my laminate iron on all day long on my wooden work desk. Occasionally left soldering iron as well. My safety protocol now is that anything that heats up in my shop is plugged into a powerstrip that also has some kind of light that is always turned on. Now i can just glance around my shop and if any lights are on i know i need to turn that power strip off.
Yes, a hundred times, this. I wear safety glasses when hiking, also. Caught a branch in the eye about three years ago, still hasn't quite healed. Jumped right under my glasses. Use a fume extractor when soldering/welding too! Or at least use a fan.
I was at the eye doctor a few weeks back due to a stray splinter of wood, now wearing my new goggles whenever I should,
Yay! Thanks Adam, I’ve seen so many eye injuries due to people not wearing eye protection. Doing a Happy Dance now.
Those are the goggles I have. I chose them because they fit so well over my glasses. They're awesome.
Impact rated folding tactical goggle. Cup gaskets fit tight to the face along the ocular orbit, does NOT significantly impeded peripheral vision, and you can keep them in a pocket to have at the ready at ALL times for whenever you might need eye protection. Used them for decades for everyday eye protection. And they look "bad ass".
A full face shield over top of whatever goggles or glasses you choose to wear while doing any metal work process is a really good plan. If you need breathing protection too, then I'm a huge fan of full face shield, impact rated, respirator masks.
I bought a lawnmower in March as the lawnmower guy I knew was no longer working due to lock downs. I read through the manual, and it said to wear safety gear, including long sleeves and pants, boots, gloves, googles and ear protection. Is there a high risk of me having to need all that protection just to mow the lawn? No, not on most days. But is it worthwhile having the safety gear when something goes wrong? Absolutely. I'll use safety googles when I am pruning, as bushes will sometimes spring back after pruning and hit you in the face. It doesn't mean you should not be careful, but it definitely reduces the risk of injury if something goes on. Safety first people! :-D
The goggles that fit my weird crazy unique face/head: those exactly Dewalt goggles. I've been using them for about 6 years now. I have others, but it's long past time to donate them, because I never use them after getting the Dewalt pair. Very comfortable, full protection, never fog up.
As a machinist and glasses-wearer, I really wanted to give this video more than one thumbs-up.
Eye protection is very important!
Leave wearing eye-patches to the pirates.
Being employed at an aluminum manufacturing plant, and having a shard of aluminum almost being lodged in my eye, I am a firm believer in safety goggles! I know wear prescription safety glasses and have the very same pair of DeWalt goggles at home!
Safety glasses saved me an eye. Drill in a drill press snapped, raw end punched the center of the left lens, bounced up from the floor before I had time to blink. Factory rules that I was wearing specs, but it made a convert of me.
I use the dewalt safety glasses (not goggles) all the time, both for the safety aspect and because I get the bifocal ones. I work in a lab deprocessng integrated circuits. So everything is small, the magnification the bifocal gives me helps out a lot. I have the glasses straps on them. There are two pair on my desk at work, one pair on my desk at home and another tinted pair at home for working outside.
Sound advice, sir. This needs to be said more often, kudos to you for recognizing that.
I've moved to using those full face shields with integrated respirators for lots of my activities. Chunks of things in your face and eyes are bad, but anything in your lungs is possibly worse over the long haul and you never even know about them until later in life. Stainless steel fumes are a prime example.
Just a tip.
If you get any small chips in your eyes...NOT SOMETHING IN THE EYE ITSELF.... keep a magnet around and cover it with a soft white cloth and pass it over your eye area slow and sometimes it will grab small bits saving a trip to the doctor. Of course it only works on iron. Do not touch your eyeball. The white cloth is used to see the chip easy.
i just bought them cos you. i wear glasses and they all steam up. The feature of these, they promise they dont. Amazing!
I'm very glad your eye wasn't permanently damaged. We love you. Stay safe!
As a non glasses wearer: so far the best safety glasses I’ve enjoyed so far are the 3m flat temple glasses. They fit nice and close and work well when you have other things on your head like headphones or hearing protection. Lots of people in my family wear glasses and I’ll be checking out these goggles! Eyes are important to protect for sure!
I would recommend checking out mesh eye goggles as well. Instead if a lens, they have a fine mesh so it still protects your eye, but they dont fog up like most goggles and safety glasses do after working hard.
