Decent eye protection?

Post by Nicola&Tony »

If there's one thing that I really hate when working under the van (apart from snapping bits off and skinning my knuckles!) , it's getting bits of rust and other cr*p in me eyes! :evil:

I've tried using these goggles but they steam-up after a few minutes:

Just wondering if anyone has anything that they can recommend from personal experience (apart from the obvious stuff like don't go under the van, or keep your eyes closed! :wink: ) ?

Cheers

The goggles look pretty good. What about trying some anti-misting spray on them?

Hadn't thought of that. Worth a try I reckon.

Thanks :ok

full face shield is the way to go.

I use this one http://www.cromwell.co.uk/PUL9601156X with the appropriate browgaurd. Not only does it stop bits falling in your face when underneath but gives you proper protection when using rotating devices such as angle grinders, flap wheels, wire brushes etc.
