So, I was working on the Civic with the Dremel. I had on safety glasses and I still got metal in my eye(and it rusted). That's why I am not at work right now and I am putting up this post. In other words, I am bored. View attachment 2159
that will teach you to work on a civic... mod the sti and that wont happen...bahahaha on the other hand hope all is well and that its nothing to horribly serious
Yeah it rusted. I got a piece of metal in my eye on Tuesday, but it didn't start hurting until Thursday night. It took it that long to start rusting enough to irritate my eye. The doc had to use a "medical" dremel tool to grind the rust out. Damn Civic
Yeah I keep knocking into stuff, it sucks only using one eye. I get to take the patch off tomorrow and it should be good.
Had an air line explode beside the bench grinder and blow that crap in my face and eyes. I cried for three days afterward. Hope there is no permanent damage. Now the shop is littered with glasses and face shields.
Working for a corneal specialist I see this all too often. Yes wear your safety glasses!!!! Hope your feeling better... This hurts like a bitch!
Every time there is a sale at Northern Tool on glasses I grab a pair. I am up to four pairs now. Two tinted and two clear. They are all different shapes and sizes and each work's better for different projects...
+1 Necro posting. I've been working in dangerous environments since I was old enough to crawl around my dad's shop, and have always seen the importance of protecting one's eyes. I own more face and eye protectors than I have pants. So, when I make a recommendation for what seems to be some cheap crap, I hope you can take it seriously. These things are absolutely perfect for working under the car, or doing anything that has a lot of small debris floating around where you might need some light. They do not seal against your face, but they sit close to mine at least. The down side is that sometimes debris can hit your face and roll under the glasses into your eyes. The button for the lights suck, as they are easy to hit accidentally, but the LEDs themselves are good enough for working in dark conditions and the battery is replaceable. I have a pair of these coming in today, but it seems likely that these will not offer as much shielding as the previous item. I intend to use these as inspection glasses at work. Aside from that, if you need the best in eye protection, ESS ballistic goggles are first rate. Somewhere in between, ballistic safety glasses are my go-to alternative. I have some Oakley M-Frames with 3 different tinted lenses that I use for everything from going to the range to mountain biking that I picked up for cheap from soldiers returning from Iraq. They were standard issue equipment, so the market was saturated when waves of soldiers would return and the price dropped dramatically. At any rate, I'll return with comments on the inspection glasses whether any of you care or not. :coolugh: EDIT: So, they hug my face a lot closer, the lights are brighter and the switches won't accidentally be hit. Overall, I like them much better for what they are, but I'm not sure about the strength of the lenses themselves and the design doesn't permit them to be as strong as the cheaper ones....still, I'd get the latter ones I posted.
