I have a pair of
these, I even wear them, sometimes. Not always, because they aren't very comfortable or easy to see through. I even have a pair of
these somewhere which I might use from time to time, but even when I do (when wearing contacts) I end up peering through the bottom, so the eye protection is limited.
So why am I asking? The other day I was using my Dremel to split a plastic case. It's plastic, not metal, and I was wearing spectacles, so no worry, eh? Except that a gob of burning hot plastic about 6mm wide shot up and burned the skin, 3mm away from the corner of my eye. I feel rather lucky, the potential consequences make me feel a little queasy.
So, I am going to be a good boy in future, and wear eye protection whenever I should (using dremel, grinding, strimming etc). If nothing else I'll wear the £1.40 ones but I'm sure there must be better alternatives.....any experience of ones providing best vision?
