Hey Jim, good catch. Yes, Hobart just launched 3 different versions of safety glasses ...

The frames of each style are the same ... tough nylon, wrap-around bows, vented for anti-fogging, with soft foam that fits snuggly against the eye socket to keep out flying debris. Lenses are made of shatter-proof polycarbonate with scratch resistant coating. As expected, these products meet ANSI safety standards for optical protection.

Three models available include:
1. Clear lens for general protection while grinding, chipping slag, etc.
2. Shade #5 for plasma cutting up to approx. 40 amps
3. Shade #5 with outside mirrored reflective surface.

The product is brand new, so it may take a little time to reach the shelves at Hobart retailers nationwide. Expect retail pricing to start about $9 to $10 for clear, and a few dollars more for shaded versions.

When using equipments and power tools, safety is the most important thing to consider.Wear all necessary safety gears. And never forget to stay focus with what you’re working. You can’t be absent minded while working inside your shop. Safety gear is crucial- hard hat, safety goggles and gloves, along with the proper footwear. Makita

In my shop hard hats are not required but,,,, there is some hard heads that pass though..

Be aware of exposed skin, the fluorescent shop lights can be pretty bright.

I'll second the vote for proper footwear. The shop cat finds the heap of sawdust you swept up, thinks it's cat litter. Never know what you might step in.

I will also prefer proper safety gear for usage.
