Who Needs Safety Glasses? Billy Ray "Mullet" finds out! Best safety glasses showdown

13 SAFETY GLASSES TESTED: Crews Bearcat BK310AF, Bullhead Pompano BH2761AF, Bullhead Pavon BH511, DeWalt Reinforcer DPB101-1D, 3M Virtua, DeWalt Auger DPG58-1C, Bouton Anser 250-AN-10111, Uvex S2960XP, Uvex Genesis S3200, Carhartt Carbondale CHB210DT, Carhartt Spokane CHB310D, Bouton Z12F 250-01-F020, and Bouton Traditional 249-5907-5900. All of the ANSI z87 rated safety glasses performed significantly better than the glasses tested that weren't rated as safety glasses. Knowing that the videos on this channel help viewers means a lot to me. So, I really hope this video will motivate more viewers to wear safety glasses when there's potential risk to help protect their eyes and eyesight. Thanks to everyone who requested this testing safety glasses.

Carbon fiber is the lightest (so I've heard). Type 2 best impact for side and top impact. You want to also replace every 5 years or after impact. Vgaurd is also important. Manufacturers have come out with other shapes than the traditional v guard. Many hardhats are also coming with vents like good football helmets. Replacing the the inner part of the helmet as need is important. They also have cooling inserts now as well as sweat guards. Full source has a good selection. Make sure it's ANSI because they do sell European models. I am not a salesman. I'm a EHS professional. I don't want to recommend brands but what I look for when I buy myself a helmet.

[@GraemePayne1967Marine]

I am not a medical person, but I do have over 7 decades of life experience. In my opinion the accelerations of the head-banger (in teal life) would probably be fatal no matter what happened to the glasses. That is definitely a very bad thing to do to a brain, because at each change of direction the brain smashes against the inside of the skull. ONE such impact can cause a concussion, which is always a medical problem. And I'm not even going to the incredible pain his neck would be in.

[@mattbarnett6902]

@@GraemePayne1967Marine Aah, but the point of the demo was not only to compare the glasses put to an exaggerated test that none would have to sustain in real life, but as a delivery method for the hilarity of watching the head banging robot toss the glasses like a rodeo bull in slow motion. At that point, it stopped being a scientific test in favor of producing chuckles.

[@staberdearth3130]

My old employee, Honeywell, bought and now sells the UVEX brand. It’s good to see they come out amongst the top related safety glasses for this lineup. I have quite a collection of safety glasses of all types, configuration, and era after a lifetime of calling on metals based industry companies. They often gave out a set of safety glasses and rarely wanted them back. No excuses for me, they’re everywhere, shop, car, shed, work desk, and so on. If you need reading glasses, look for the brands that offer bi-focals in many strengths. For shooters, or those who find themselves looking up while doing close work, they even make reverse bi-vocals with the readers on the top.

[@fazooleq1523]

safety glasses protected me several times. worse time was when I was helping clear damage with my chainsaw after an ice storm hit our local church and safety glsses literally saved my life. I was up on a ladder, covered in ice, sawing over my head a limb slipped and went the wrong way - the 3-4" diameter tree limb hit me bullyseye-centered in the eye. It bounced off my safet glasses and I was able to keep my footing and grip on the running chainsaw. These are no joke and nothing to skimp on or avoid - they should be the first "tool" any shop owns.

[@philiplaier1637]

Great test! I have been a strong advocate of safety glasses ever since I was about 16 years old. I got a piece of hot slag on my eyelid after hammering off slag from an arc weld. I thought I went blind in one eye as I could not see out of it. I quickly ran into the house to look at myself in the mirror in the bathroom. To my amazement I had fortunately closed my eye when the slag hit. It burned my eye lids together in one eye which caused me not to be able to open my eye. I was able to remove the slag with tweezers and great discomfort. Fortunately no damage to my eye. I cringe now when I see people doing work activities that obviously require safety glasses. My story stems from the "I want to be cool and not wear safety glasses because they are for nerds." Don't be like I was. Wear your safety glasses! Thanks for another good video.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing your story! I hope it will encourage others the importance of wearing safety protection.

[@tasteapiana]

There are soooo many factors that go into good safety glasses construction. My favorite is Uvex across the board. Like tool steels, at and above a certain hardness you get diminishing results as brittleness becomes a factor (potential for shattering), same goes for safety glasses. Toughness is NOT hardness, in fact toughness can be viewed as the opposite of hardness, as evidenced by the concept of sheering or break-away/crush components in car bodies, helmets, etc. Plastics, like steels, are temperature worked and work hardened and getting the right mix of materials joined at just the right temperature is crucial. Uvex, I believe, does about the best job across their product line and I do consider their frames and arms as integral to the safety of the overall glasses. I've been hit by lots of things wearing their bandit models (the ones with separated/modular frames and lenses) and not once have they been knocked off, knocked loose or damaged beyond continued use. Another highly important consideration that they address is color correction/ high intensity light protection. Get a pair of their SCT Gray lenses for outdoor/yard work and you'll be hooked. Reds POP, masonry work / tuckpointing (seeing non-red on red), stop signs hiding behind shrubs in shady places, etc so many things suddenly become visible that aren't with anything else. Remember, safety is not just about protecting ourselves but others, too.

[@leonelleguizamon5637]

i've been there, working with the grinder without the protection on, the disc exploded and hit me in my left shoulder

[@christophermarshall5765]

I've had grinding wheels come apart. I agree with what you say 100%. The material is thrown in all directions. I use amber lens type safety glasses when fishing, as these lenses are polarised & filter most UV light, along with cutting glare. The lens material is industrial grade poly-carbonate to withstand impact & penetration. You don't want to be smacked in the eye with a big 4 ounce lure, which is travelling at high speed. I have seen this happen, but never experienced it.

[@MrDLRu]

According to Ham Shute, RIP Ham, a young machinist back during WWII, the 21" grinding wheel took the 1/2" wheel guard and threw it across the shop when it exploded one day. That day he decided that if the wheel ever let loose on him, his safety move was to hit the floor and to reach-up and hit the E-Stop...That is all.

This is great. Would also love to see a test involving over-the-glasses safety glasses since I'm a glasses wearer.

Also effectiveness of hearing protection (23 NRR vs 26 NRR vs 30 NRR muffs vs plugs - do they live up to their ratings, which are most effective at blocking noise). Also would be interesting to see the safety of car ramps (like rhino ramps) - how well they resist slipping, do they live up to their weight ratings, etc. Plastic, metal, just slabs of wood.

[@ProjectFarm]

[@GraemePayne1967Marine]

I agree with "A P" about wanting to see a test of over-eyeglasses safety glasses. There is also the question of Prescription safety glasses (my preferred choice). But independently testing those would be expensive, unless you could obtain raw lens blanks of each type of marerial. So i suppose I will have to continue to rely on the ANSI testing standard.

[@jacobharris7711]

i went to the ER twice for metal to be removed from my eye, the first time was my fault, using a sander on metal with no eye pro, my fault and i paid for it. The second time i had on glasses but the rust from an exhaust bolt fell down into my eye and the glasses had no effect. Still, having been there and done that, everyone please wear some eye pro, its totally better then the DR taking fragments out of your eye. Trust me, I know.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great advice! Thanks for sharing.

[@petercolquhoun2086]

Here's an idea: a magnetic frame to catch those loose metal particles.

[@animefreak5757]

if your working on your back under something, it's a good idea to consider goggles rather then glasses. A well fitting pair of goggles will keep stuff from getting in the sides. I've had a similar experience, wearing glasses under a jeep while using a carbide burr. One of the sharp shavings got around my glasses and imbeded itself in my eye. Unfortunately, the ER insisted there was nothing there to find even though i could feel it. 2 days later my eye had a halo of rust in it >< The hospital got it right the second time, though it cost me a chunk of my cornea. Spent the next 2 weeks feeling like there was sand in my eye :(

I've always been safety-conscious, so last summer when I was building a cloche frame for the garden I donned the usual safety glasses. While zipping-off the tip of a stainless steel screw with a Dremel, it came flying at my face at a million miles an hour, striking the lens over my right eye, with a hell of a noise and scratching the lense. I would be blind in that eye now if it wasn't for those glasses. I also wear welding gloves if I'm ever using the angle grinder, you can't be too safe!

I was definetly giving more importance to scratch resistance over anything else until you proved how full frame matters. Awesome job.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@jaydunbar7538]

Scratch resistance is very important from a workers point of view. I hate wearing cheap glasses because they scratch up to easy and you can't see anything, so ill just risk it and not wear them if junk is all that is offered. Visibility is obviously a safety concern as well. Its a hard thing to balance, the safety glasses need to be high enough Quality to work well and be worn without to much argument, yet if you spend to much (examples Oakleys) they will all disappear.

[@gizmogremlin1872]

@@jaydunbar7538 Personally I would say anti fogging would be a greater concern than scratch resistance, especially considering that a safety glasses are often worn with a dust mask which tends to increase the likelihood of glasses fogging up. Having glasses fog up while in the middle of ripping a board for instance, I would say has a more likely chance to create an incident than a few little scratches.

[@ronfults3844]

I work in a steel mill so we have to wear safety glasses all the time. Mine are prescription safety glasses but my point is we are required to use Chums or some other strap on our glasses. Also from my experience, heavy scratches are not what you need to worry about but rather light scratches. Also being in a steel mill, fogging is a big problem. I've not found any glasses that were very fog resistant. Your best for prevention is some of the anti fog cleaning wipes and they are only partially effective. From my experience your biggest concern with safety glasses should be the amount of impact they can take. After a impact, throw them away and get a new pair. Glasses of any kind are cheap compared to loosing a eye. I wear safety glasses any time I'm doing anything where the potential of something flying at me is present. I should have is too late after a accident.

[@nothanks3462]

Propane works great as a road fuel, on average you expect around 10% less mileage and power, but its around half the price of regular unleaded in the UK and Europe at the pumps. Had a few cars that ran it, loved it and saved a fortune. Very clean, engine Oil comes out looking almost new at service. There is no difference driving around, if you run out of propane then you just carry on with regular fuel, systems are normally fully automatic. All my little 4 bangers were reliable and had more than 150,000 miles when sold and still ran perfectly. Works even better on bigger engines. EDIT: Best of all, usually cost per mile is still cheaper than diesel AND engine is simpler and cheaper to repair/maintain. Smoothness and quietness also a big plus. I did miss the diesel torque when towing, but still managed just fine.

27 years in the safety field and this testing confirms what I've seen after trying every conceivable type of safety glasses out there. Our company bought thousands and thousands of safety glasses and the work was heavy industrial and steel erection. Uvex always ended up holding up the longest and were the real-world cost analysis winner for us. They cost more up front, but the comfort, protection, scratch resistance, fog resistance, and durability meant they would outlast multiple pairs of cheaper glasses while providing more wearer compliance due to the comfort level and fit. Thank you for doing this! I'll share this with our crews in upcoming training classes.

When I was about 20 years old (about 40 years ago), I was working in a machine shop. Safety glasses were required, but I had just finished lunch and returned to my task without putting mine on. I was drilling some hard steel with a drill press and the bit was a large one - maybe about half an inch in diameter. My boss walked by and tapped his glasses to remind me to put mine on - which I did. Within 10 seconds, the drill bit shattered sending hardened steel shards flying. A couple of splinters stuck into my face and one shard struck my safety glasses hard enough to put a chip in the glass. That lesson has stuck with me to this day. I always wear my safety gear and I make anyone around me do the same.
