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

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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. 😊
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
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.
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!
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"
I know a guy that had a full face mask (the perspex kind that wraps around face, nearly up to the ears, over your forehead with that black trim, and far below your chin) whilst he was grinding a relief in a piece of pipe. One of the sparks/crud flew around the mask, right into his left eye and scarred his eye. He had to go to a doctor and by the time the ambulance came, his eye looked like he had 10 rounds with Cena in the ring. So that's fun. Personally i wear a 3M full face wrapping mask with its own air supply. Most expensive piece of PPE i've ever bought, worth every cent.
There are safety glasses and goggles in which you can fit prescription lenses (e.g. Uvex RX series). For me way better option for several reasons: no fogging, no fitment issues, you don't ruin your main prescription glasses with dirt and scratches. And the biggest of all: you don't have to remember to put them on every time you turn on a power tool - just change from you regular glasses as soon as you enter your workshop and they're always there.
Those Dewalt goggles really are the best. I use them with a 3M half mask respirator and they are super comfortable as goggle and masks go. I wish I had started wearing them earlier in life for painting and cutting, but better late than never.
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!
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)😉
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!!!
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!
I have prescription safety glasses ( with side shields) which I wear all the time when I am at home. So when a go into my shop to do something quick I don't need to remember to protect my eyes. This also saves my regular glasses from abuse.
I am lucky enough that the company I work for actually has a safety glasses program. So my prescription glasses are my safety glasses. They’re impact rated and have sideshields and are my glasses while I work. They’re Pentax from Hoya.
I know I'm a bit late to this thread, but I want to raise a vote for a full faceshield. I have prescription safety glasses with sideshields that I will wear in the shop, but I really prefer to add a full face shield if I'm doing something that generates chips. I really like the fully framed type, like the Uvex Bionic or Jackson Maxview. I tried using one of them after noticing that a LOT of people on TV shows doing fab work were using them, and they really do work and are comfortable. Also note, a quick adjust headband lets you switch to wearing a sweatband (or back) in seconds, so is more useful than you might think.
I love my googles. I barely use it...but I use it under the car. I like how the dust doesn't go thru the side. I'm finally taking stagecraft...and one of the PPE is googles.
Mr.Savage in one of your videos you said you needed a glue brush pocket, try a plastic or metal cigar tube in one of the pen pockets. It may need to be cut down to fit the acid brush.
I’ve been through a whole bunch of goggles that don’t fit comfortably over my glasses. I’ll be grabbing some of these to try today, as of course I don’t like mine so I don’t wear them.
This channel is such a treat. I think I'd still be star struck, but don't you just feel like you know Adam? I think it'd take very little time to just fall into a normal friendly conversation with him after the celebrity wore off. I think the desire to learn from him would quickly overtake anything else. Really sad about Grant, as I'd always assumed I'd be able to talk to him about re-designing wheelchairs, but I still hope I get to pick Adam's brain someday.
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 :(
Fuglies - Aussie brand - bifocal (shh - I'm old) safety glasses. Might not be as perfect as elastic strap over specs goggles, but the gasket offers a comfortable level of protection vs convienience. I use the polarised version for regular sunglasses duties as well. The lower corner 2.0x magnification is handy for reading vernier markings.
What's up Adam. I didn't realize you had a channel. That's awesome. I caught Covid19 and am here looking at Face mask, goggles, et al. Love n Respect from Portland brother 🙌
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!
Now it's time for a one day build. A PPE station for every tool. It's one thing to have the PPE bit it's another to wear it and when you have to walk across the shop to get it eventually you stop going to get it.
you are like watching bob ross. it's just soo.. 'bob ross satisfying', i don't know how to say it. like, just the feeling (i think) everybody has while watching bob ross paint.
I got my lesson when I was shooting assault rifle and from the chamber it bursted something to my eye. For a week it felt like it was full of sand. And before that I was very well aware that if one of those shells popping out hits my eye, it's going to be bad. They come out with such a force. But well... You only learn once you suffer from it first time.
I got lucky with a close call a few years ago I spent all day in a welding shop and close to the end of the day I took a break and took my glasses off when I left. When I returned I went to chip some slag off of one of my welds and got a piece in my eye. I had worn my saftey glasses for so long it felt like I still had them on. I was lucky and it was cold and fell back out.
I remember watching a video a few months back where Adam talked about a wraparound plexiglass face shield that would slip on over his glasses. He found it after seeing it in a sci-fi show (Westworld?) and surmising that it was a commercial product and not custom-made. I thought that was his favorite.
I know people are going to be delightful on me. I have always been told in High-school, Robotics, and even some laboratories. That your glasses with the right extensions are appropriate safety goggles. I have these really nice slip on wings guards that attach and create the side vents and siding like on normal goggles. But I do think that the full coverage is needed for some not all tasks. Like for mill work i wouldn't use my regular glasses with the attachment. I would thought use both them and a full protective sealing pair that Adam is showing off. I didn't know I was the only one who has issues with safety goggles or glasses and even VR because of your glasses you have. I know its might be hokey to say this as I choose my glasses to be close to Adam's as I love the shaping he has on his. He and I have the same face construction roughly so it complements our faces ,but that's an odd off topic!
I don't usually wear glasses, so I don't generally need safety googles. Instead, I have a pair of Stanley safety glasses that I find orders of magnitude more comfortable than the safety glasses with adjustable arms, which was important since, at the time I bought them, I was expecting to need them for roughly half of an 8 hour day. They do squeeze a bit above the ears, but that also means they won't fall off easily.
I’m reminded of Norm Abram’s safety talk in every episode of The New Yankee Workshop: “There’s no more important rule than to wear these safety glasses.”
I have two pair at work, and I like nether pair one is not shaped right, and the other doesn't fit right over glasses ... Those look awesome, I just ordered a pair ($9.00) .. a little tip for the lens, wax it with a good auto wax , it will make any scratches transparent and you can see better (Maguires car cleaner wax, liquid) :)
I picked up a pair of prescription safety glasses from RX-Safety. They were like $100, but worth it not to have to wear glasses over my glasses. Though they ARE glasses, so I've had dust get in around the saides, which sucks. Goggles may be something to look into.
I found them good, although I spent a couple hours cutting up concrete and they did get scratched to bits (like a frosted window now). I think a bit of clean film or clear tape may help as it can be removed and the Google's should be like new again
My dad had a tiny bit of swarf bounce off his forehead, through the vents on the top of his goggles, off the inside of the goggles, past his glasses, into his eye. Had to be basically scraped off his eye because it started rusting by the time he got in to the doctors the next afternoon. Needless to say, he wasn't so lucky.
I have keratoconus requiring a cornea transplant before the insanity happened the pain comes and goes but the result is a corneal scar in the center of my vision in one eye making it essentially useless, if I were riding my bike and something took out my good eye I’d be in trouble. I’m lucky the poor vision is in my non dominant eye other wise I’d have all kinds of cross dominant issues which if you have any experience with people like that in military can get pretty crazy.
i also got it once with an angle grinder but till then i didnt use goggles, and thought how great is the odd it flies in my eyes. it did and boy it was not funny to get with the eyedoctor like you did. from then i use goggles with everything i do.
I've worn glasses for over 20 years and remember thinking "oh I've got glasses already" and frequently had the issue of finding safety glasses that comfortably went over them and didn't slide down my nose. All it took was one near miss doing farm work to find something that worked. Though mine I toss haphazardly wherever and heavily caked with dusty, grime, sweat, and lawn shrapnel. Anyone who can keep a pair clean and tidy deserves fealty
Scratched cornea from a concrete block chip. I didn't hurt that bad initially but went to a job site then didn't make it to urgent care a few hours later. WOW did it hurt then. Don't ignore crap in your eye. Get it out as soon as possible.
I got one not long after Adam recommended it. They work well for me but my glasses come off every time I remove the shield. They get stuck to my frames from all the sweat. Tho they are awesome and cover your entire face.
The Dewalt goggles are good but need replaced on a regular basis. When work required goggles when working with certain materials, the many types of goggles they had available wouldn't fit over my large glasses. The Dewalts did and as Adam mentions, are comfortable to wear when compared to others. But over time the yellow seal material gets sticky and falls apart. Cheap enough to replace a routine basis.
Having had a, singular, metal filling on my iris for a week... I always wear sunglasses on windy days and safety specs in the shop... every time there was a change in light it would scratch.

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 !!!!
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

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?!
For those without glasses, 3m does a fantastic set of safety glasses with a snap in gasket. Lowes and home depot carry them.
I've got the same set of DeWalt Goggles! They are the best I've found for keeping sawdust out of my eyes.
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
Safety goggles are essential in almost all lines of work from chemistry to mechanics.
Im glad you are ok Adam you’re the best
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. 😊
I really appreciate you guys listing everything Adam is using. Thank you!
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
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.
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
close fitting squash glasses are my favorite for working around the shop. I like the comforte and the impact resistance
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!
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"
I know a guy that had a full face mask (the perspex kind that wraps around face, nearly up to the ears, over your forehead with that black trim, and far below your chin) whilst he was grinding a relief in a piece of pipe. One of the sparks/crud flew around the mask, right into his left eye and scarred his eye. He had to go to a doctor and by the time the ambulance came, his eye looked like he had 10 rounds with Cena in the ring. So that's fun.
Personally i wear a 3M full face wrapping mask with its own air supply. Most expensive piece of PPE i've ever bought, worth every cent.
There are safety glasses and goggles in which you can fit prescription lenses (e.g. Uvex RX series). For me way better option for several reasons: no fogging, no fitment issues, you don't ruin your main prescription glasses with dirt and scratches. And the biggest of all: you don't have to remember to put them on every time you turn on a power tool - just change from you regular glasses as soon as you enter your workshop and they're always there.
Those Dewalt goggles really are the best. I use them with a 3M half mask respirator and they are super comfortable as goggle and masks go. I wish I had started wearing them earlier in life for painting and cutting, but better late than never.
I have a pair almost identical to those made by Uvex, got to keep them from my college chem class and I love them
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 was at the eye doctor a few weeks back due to a stray splinter of wood, now wearing my new goggles whenever I should,
I’ve got a pair of prescription safety glasses and I am a big fan
"There is no more important safety rule, than to wear these, safety glasses."
-Norm Abram, in every show ever
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!
Could not agree more about a sax mouthpiece!! I absolutely love my 4C
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!!!
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!
Omg saw this because I have Big glasses, got some and they feel so lovely so comfortable and fit lovely over my big glasses.
I have prescription safety glasses ( with side shields) which I wear all the time when I am at home. So when a go into my shop to do something quick I don't need to remember to protect my eyes. This also saves my regular glasses from abuse.
I am lucky enough that the company I work for actually has a safety glasses program. So my prescription glasses are my safety glasses. They’re impact rated and have sideshields and are my glasses while I work. They’re Pentax from Hoya.
I know I'm a bit late to this thread, but I want to raise a vote for a full faceshield. I have prescription safety glasses with sideshields that I will wear in the shop, but I really prefer to add a full face shield if I'm doing something that generates chips. I really like the fully framed type, like the Uvex Bionic or Jackson Maxview. I tried using one of them after noticing that a LOT of people on TV shows doing fab work were using them, and they really do work and are comfortable. Also note, a quick adjust headband lets you switch to wearing a sweatband (or back) in seconds, so is more useful than you might think.
Just ordered 3 -pair. Great video. Agree. agree. agree. Love Harbor Freight ear muffs too.
I love my googles. I barely use it...but I use it under the car. I like how the dust doesn't go thru the side. I'm finally taking stagecraft...and one of the PPE is googles.
I have safety prescription glasses with removable side shields. I have been to the optometrist once for foreign objects in my eye.
Adam, these are awesome. Finally a pair of eyepro that fit properly with glasses and don't fog up. Thanks!
You should also look into prescription safety glasses for wearing in the shop all the time.
Mr.Savage in one of your videos you said you needed a glue brush pocket, try a plastic or metal cigar tube in one of the pen pockets. It may need to be cut down to fit the acid brush.
I’ve been through a whole bunch of goggles that don’t fit comfortably over my glasses. I’ll be grabbing some of these to try today, as of course I don’t like mine so I don’t wear them.
This channel is such a treat. I think I'd still be star struck, but don't you just feel like you know Adam? I think it'd take very little time to just fall into a normal friendly conversation with him after the celebrity wore off. I think the desire to learn from him would quickly overtake anything else.
Really sad about Grant, as I'd always assumed I'd be able to talk to him about re-designing wheelchairs, but I still hope I get to pick Adam's brain someday.
$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
Fuglies - Aussie brand - bifocal (shh - I'm old) safety glasses. Might not be as perfect as elastic strap over specs goggles, but the gasket offers a comfortable level of protection vs convienience. I use the polarised version for regular sunglasses duties as well.
The lower corner 2.0x magnification is handy for reading vernier markings.
What's up Adam. I didn't realize you had a channel. That's awesome. I caught Covid19 and am here looking at Face mask, goggles, et al. Love n Respect from Portland brother 🙌
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!
Now it's time for a one day build. A PPE station for every tool. It's one thing to have the PPE bit it's another to wear it and when you have to walk across the shop to get it eventually you stop going to get it.
I'm a firm believer in safety goggles. I once had a piece of hot steel ping off my goggles, and I swore that I would always wear them from then on.
you are like watching bob ross.
it's just soo.. 'bob ross satisfying', i don't know how to say it.
like, just the feeling (i think) everybody has while watching bob ross paint.
I got my lesson when I was shooting assault rifle and from the chamber it bursted something to my eye. For a week it felt like it was full of sand. And before that I was very well aware that if one of those shells popping out hits my eye, it's going to be bad. They come out with such a force. But well... You only learn once you suffer from it first time.
I used to use an ultrasonic to clean goggles to keep from scratching the lenses.
I got lucky with a close call a few years ago I spent all day in a welding shop and close to the end of the day I took a break and took my glasses off when I left. When I returned I went to chip some slag off of one of my welds and got a piece in my eye. I had worn my saftey glasses for so long it felt like I still had them on. I was lucky and it was cold and fell back out.
I remember watching a video a few months back where Adam talked about a wraparound plexiglass face shield that would slip on over his glasses. He found it after seeing it in a sci-fi show (Westworld?) and surmising that it was a commercial product and not custom-made. I thought that was his favorite.
They posted a link (below that video) where you could buy them on Amazon. And yes, he saw them being used on HBO's Westworld..
@@BROON71 Ah yes, Raygear. Unfortunately, they became in such demand for the pandemic that they've been sold out ever since.
I know people are going to be delightful on me. I have always been told in High-school, Robotics, and even some laboratories. That your glasses with the right extensions are appropriate safety goggles. I have these really nice slip on wings guards that attach and create the side vents and siding like on normal goggles. But I do think that the full coverage is needed for some not all tasks. Like for mill work i wouldn't use my regular glasses with the attachment. I would thought use both them and a full protective sealing pair that Adam is showing off. I didn't know I was the only one who has issues with safety goggles or glasses and even VR because of your glasses you have. I know its might be hokey to say this as I choose my glasses to be close to Adam's as I love the shaping he has on his. He and I have the same face construction roughly so it complements our faces ,but that's an odd off topic!
I don't usually wear glasses, so I don't generally need safety googles. Instead, I have a pair of Stanley safety glasses that I find orders of magnitude more comfortable than the safety glasses with adjustable arms, which was important since, at the time I bought them, I was expecting to need them for roughly half of an 8 hour day. They do squeeze a bit above the ears, but that also means they won't fall off easily.
I’m reminded of Norm Abram’s safety talk in every episode of The New Yankee Workshop: “There’s no more important rule than to wear these safety glasses.”
Just thought to myself, "New Yankee Workshop! I haven't seen that in at least a decade!!". Googled and found it was wound up in 2009. Might be why.
I have two pair at work, and I like nether pair one is not shaped right, and the other doesn't fit right over glasses ... Those look awesome, I just ordered a pair ($9.00) .. a little tip for the lens, wax it with a good auto wax , it will make any scratches transparent and you can see better (Maguires car cleaner wax, liquid) :)
I picked up a pair of prescription safety glasses from RX-Safety. They were like $100, but worth it not to have to wear glasses over my glasses.
Though they ARE glasses, so I've had dust get in around the saides, which sucks. Goggles may be something to look into.
Hey you changed the apron front pocket. Nice, I might do that to mine.
lol, or it's just a different apron
Just bought a pair because of this video 👍
I like the regular Milwaukee saftey glasses. Not their new $20+ ones
I found them good, although I spent a couple hours cutting up concrete and they did get scratched to bits (like a frosted window now). I think a bit of clean film or clear tape may help as it can be removed and the Google's should be like new again
My dad had a tiny bit of swarf bounce off his forehead, through the vents on the top of his goggles, off the inside of the goggles, past his glasses, into his eye. Had to be basically scraped off his eye because it started rusting by the time he got in to the doctors the next afternoon.
Needless to say, he wasn't so lucky.
Mum! Adam Savage said I have a weird face...
*Watches background...* Adam... shits on fire yo.
I have keratoconus requiring a cornea transplant before the insanity happened the pain comes and goes but the result is a corneal scar in the center of my vision in one eye making it essentially useless, if I were riding my bike and something took out my good eye I’d be in trouble. I’m lucky the poor vision is in my non dominant eye other wise I’d have all kinds of cross dominant issues which if you have any experience with people like that in military can get pretty crazy.
"If you have a weird face I'd love to hear about it!"
i also got it once with an angle grinder but till then i didnt use goggles, and thought how great is the odd it flies in my eyes. it did and boy it was not funny to get with the eyedoctor like you did. from then i use goggles with everything i do.
I've worn glasses for over 20 years and remember thinking "oh I've got glasses already" and frequently had the issue of finding safety glasses that comfortably went over them and didn't slide down my nose. All it took was one near miss doing farm work to find something that worked. Though mine I toss haphazardly wherever and heavily caked with dusty, grime, sweat, and lawn shrapnel. Anyone who can keep a pair clean and tidy deserves fealty
I did not realize Adam was a fellow saxophonist!
Scratched cornea from a concrete block chip. I didn't hurt that bad initially but went to a job site then didn't make it to urgent care a few hours later. WOW did it hurt then. Don't ignore crap in your eye. Get it out as soon as possible.
You mean my reading glasses aren't enough? Dang! Off to the hardware we go...
These are exactly what I need. I also have glasses and finding goggles to account for this ahs been impossible. I also might do a face shield too
I use Bolle Pilot, also have glasses
what was the full-face shield that you recommended some years ago, the almost-spherical one?
X-Shield SKU X1-NC thought they're completely out of stock on all of their models last I looked
I got one not long after Adam recommended it. They work well for me but my glasses come off every time I remove the shield. They get stuck to my frames from all the sweat. Tho they are awesome and cover your entire face.
@@plkrtn Thank you very much! I'm starting a new small shop and want good safety gear ..
Sadly it seems to have been discontinued.
The Dewalt goggles are good but need replaced on a regular basis. When work required goggles when working with certain materials, the many types of goggles they had available wouldn't fit over my large glasses. The Dewalts did and as Adam mentions, are comfortable to wear when compared to others. But over time the yellow seal material gets sticky and falls apart. Cheap enough to replace a routine basis.
full face mask like alec steel a blacksmith uses might be more efficient it also has a breather i believe check it out.
Having had a, singular, metal filling on my iris for a week... I always wear sunglasses on windy days and safety specs in the shop... every time there was a change in light it would scratch.
Mine scratched badly in the work van. Store goggles and glasses in a sock or they will get scratched.
-Ken
Walking about with a pair of goggles in your sock must be a right pain. 🤣👍
