Safety Glasses Test - The top 5 best selling on Amazon

Today I test the top 5 best selling safety glasses on Amazon. This safety glasses test will compare each brand on the categories of clarity, scratch resistance, anti-fog, and impact. We will use the widowmaker (our table saw rocket launcher) for the impact portion of this safety glasses test.
Here are the models we tested:
Jorestech - amzn.to/2XOq9r5
Solidwork - amzn.to/2xH2UEP
3M - amzn.to/2VE44ZK
DeWalt - amzn.to/2KfuRGk
NoCry - amzn.to/3eFGsN4

Great vid man, hope your recovery is going well!

[@edj2022]

From other tests I have seen performed on safety glasses, the ones that have an anti-fog coating usually show more damage from scratch tests while lenses without anti-fog show little to no damage from scratches.

[@dummkompf]

seems like they should put anti-fog coating on the inside, and anti-scratch on the outside. but it would probably be a lot more difficult and expensive to make them that way instead of just covering the whole lens with 1 coating.

It’s a shame that this channel isn’t bigger then it is!! I love your content man. I hope you start creating content again! Cheers

[@applepie9806]

🙏 Thanks for testing all these out. I was looking all over for someone who can tell me which one is good. Years ago, I had seen a video of a young man who had his rotary tool's circular saw split into half and the largest piece flew right at his forehead between his eyes before we could even blink. It sunk into his skin about a few mm causing a bit of blood to trickle out, but he was ok because the piece embedded itself into bridge of his safety goggles which stopped it from going deeper and probably saved his life. Ever since then I've been nervous about using rotary tools, so I'm looking around for a good strong pair of safety goggles. You've probably saved some lives here, hope you'll recover your vision in due time. Subbed to your channel 😊

[@andre1987eph]

8:45 for this impact test to be even more realistic the head should be weighted. The actual damage in real accident would be higher. In test case here, the head had very little mass and therefore offered little resistance to the projectile, unlike a real head and neck. Also use ultra High speed camera to view any deformation of the eyeglass lens into the eyeball.

[@Tracy-Inches]

Good point!

[@carlosf9278]

Yeah true. Pretty sure the Jorestech would’ve broken had the dummy head been held down with some external weight…. Although… even if it hadn’t broken, taking a 2in pvc pipe directly in the fast at almost 90mph would’ve rearranged your face with any safety glasses😂☠️

[@VitalityMassage]

It's really cool that you've taken the time to make this video. Hopefully you will save some eyes. Thanks so much.

[@minatour44]

Great idea to test , as a note It might be worth adding some putty/playdough on the eye of the dummy and then retest, the main aim would be for the glasses to not fold in and hit the eye , if the glasses were trashed afterwards that wouldn’t matter. In one of the images it looked as if the glasses folded in and made me wince. . Then one could compare which test had the smallest , ideally no imprint on the putty over the eyeball?

[@mellowfellow9]

Hey man, thanks for the vid. Love how you turned your accident into an opportunity to educate others (using the left side of the glasses to test impact -SAVAGE!).

[@shaneintegra]

PPE is so damn important. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@andrewswank4845]

What a neat experiment! Thanks!

[@robertquiambao1347]

Thank you for the nice review and actual test.

[@wonilart8426]

the video is so much better than trying to decipher lab test results. so easy to understand

[@Roommate625]

Josh, love these experiments. I'd love to see a follow-up with the cheap brands on Amazon (bison, jorestech, frienda, gateway safety, etc). A lot of times, just having a pair nearby insures wearing them and knowing the best of the cheapest would be nice.

[@KomodoSound]

Thanks for the informative video, wishing a prompt recovery !

[@HighTideSoaps]

This is awesome, so many people should be wearing safety gear and they just don't. I'm one of them, almost burned my cornea off with paint thinner when I was a teen, just painting a painting and a little flicked up off my brush into my eye. It's not worth it, get some goggles!

[@morganfreeman5171]

That's some great information, thanks !

[@johnh4957]

Josh thanks so much for this video! I've been using my Rx glasses thinking they offered some safety benefit, couldn't be more wrong for sure! I'm going to share this with my optometrist too to help get the word out!

[@pogchamp1038]

Bless you my dude... thanks for making this video

[@monocogenit1]

So sorry to hear. It's easy to forget how dangerous many of the tasks we complete through out our day. Good luck with recovery.

[@WeThePeopleSurvival69]

Promoting of safety is key..Im sorry for you injury and 🙏 for healing over you..Great video!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Love this!

[@Schutto]

Quality content thank you for the information. And I'm really sorry for your eyes I hope it gets better. Greetings from Turkish hammam.

Great video. Definitely gave me a rethink 🤔 Subscribed 👍🏿🤓

[@andre1987eph]

Thanks for sharing this accident. And providing this test as a service.

[@fabianavendano9180]

what a good vid pal, thank you

[@srilanka7946]

Really cool video, keep it up and I hope your eyes got perfect at this time.

[@ARlELATOM]

Thank you 🙏

[@joaoermensongomes]

Great vid man

[@tireg47]

Thanks for doing this, can you test the Oakley M frame? Maybe with other conventional sport glasses?

[@Tracy-Inches]

Thanks for doing this for us! sorry about your mishap, God bless you and yours.

[@lucaslucaz]

Great video👍

[@hhattingh]

Got my table saw today and this was very informative. Whish you had the Milwaukee performance safety glasses included

[@joshsgarage1545]

Good news. I'll have to make a follow up video for the Milwaukee.

[@DjCapnWolf]

Very interesting! Thank you for the review! I was reading reviews on Amazon just now, and it seems the SolidWorks get more complaints about fogging than the DeWalts... 🤔 I wonder if you could do another round with other brands, such as Milwaukee, NoCry, DeWalt, UVEX, Neiko, 3M, HexArmor, etc. Your videos do make a difference, you know? Thanks!

[@PrashantKumar-qp4er]

Great video. Any safety glasses/goggles is better than no safety glasses/goggles.

[@sergiojardon6725]

Thanks for the video,the Info, and because I think that after seen this alot of people WIll war safety glasses. thanks a lot! sorry for your accident I hope you recover Well

[@hafizipudzi7595]

Great video bro.. great information btw.. im planning to buy bolle baxter safety glasses after fed up with 3M secure fit with BriteScott coating that after 2 month of using did fog up...could u do same test Like in this vid to bolle baxter? Btw, get well soon bro

[@pangrac1]

This is very important topic. ☝️

[@butcherman1234]

Great work! If you do this again, I suggest you expand the test to include small projectiles (pellet or BB gun) and UV protection.

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

All plastic lenses will have almost 99% uv rejection. Even sunglasses will offer almost 💯 uv rejection. Am curious how well a pellet will penetrate these safety eye where.

[@danielcharrie7125]

Ty Josh for going through the trouble, but "well done",l am getting a pair of the winning goggles!🙏👋🌱

[@jase]

DOOD! I need better safety glasses!!!! thanks for the info!! loving the channel!!

[@jase]

after watching all of the impact shots I will for sure be upgrading!!

[@psadhi]

I am ordering from Amazon right now. i have been doing DIY my car and around the house and never had glasses. thanks for the video.

[@mikewinn1725]

Always, SAFETY FIRST... Good choice

[@COEYRN]

Thank you for sharing, this utterly terrible incident. I never even thought about broken eye protection. For what it's worth I'm sorry you went through that. The pain the immeasurable anxiety the moment after of disbelief and then going for help. I'm glad you had people there to help you not everybody's that lucky. You truly taught me a lesson today, that at my age I didn't think was possible. Every once in awhile you have to say to yourself don't get cocky cuz this could be the one time that you screw up and that's all it takes. Don't worry I don't talk to myself. Well I'm here in the garage with my Dremel and lots of spare pieces of wood. Due to this video I am now going to make a sign, quoting Han Solo in Star Wars. "Great, kid. Don't get cocky" Me nerd. 😂

[@lindseyheath1437]

Hey! Can you do another review using the bomber eyewear “buzz bomb”?

[@Ultra-Collector]

The Solid works are $30+ a pair now since COVID! While a great pair the company and sellers are extremely unethical when it comes to price gouging and taking advantage of the public! I remember these Solidwork goggles being only $13 in Dec 2019 and January 2020 but did not watch your vid till now! I bought the Dewalts though back then because of the ANSI z871+ rating. If you fo t know the + is where the Ansi ratings differ between impacts and heat or splash,so gir impacts you only want a + rated glasses or goggle and - is for splash ,chemical safety. Thanks so much for your test man and i really hope your eye gets better! God bless you brother!

[@joshsgarage1545]

Scoundrels! I noticed that myself too. Thanks for the kind words. If I can save another person's eyesight, it's worth it.

[@DeusExAstra]

Charging more for a product that's in high demand is not "price gouging", it's just capitalism. Deal with it.

[@harrycarey6622]

Which ones are best - antifog, inside outside, anti glare, polarized

[@TerrellWillams]

Awesome video! I have no idea why you don’t have more subscribers?!?!? Definitely subbed and turned on notifications!!!😎🔥🇺🇸

[@TerrellWillams]

Okay! You only have 31 videos and don’t post very often. I still subbed though!💪🏾

[@joshsgarage1545]

you just made my day. I have no idea either. I think KZbin algo pinned me down a few years ago. It's why I don't make videos any longer.

[@TerrellWillams]

@@joshsgarage1545 Both of us are older. The video production quality of your videos are abnormally high. Very inspirational! The key is simple. 1. Quantity 2. Engagement. Google owns KZbin and they are in the business of making money so the more engagement your channel has the greater possibility of them making money from advertising from your viewers. Ad revenues rule KZbin. The KZbin algorithm also promotes engagement. Engagement manifest itself through likes and comments. So the key is as many likes comments subscriptions in the way how people get notified now is through turning on the the notification bell.

[@difflocktwo]

@@joshsgarage1545 I just ran into this video looking for anti fog glasses. I was pretty hooked and watched the whole video. I'm also surprised by how low your numbers are. Very unfortunate.

[@johnlackner1193]

I'm looking for some reviews on D5 dust rated safety glasses.

[@kosmouz]

ithat wood piece ,is it the actual one hit your eye?

[@nshon7]

Would like to know how normal prescription glasses hold up!

[@srabansinha3430]

Take Care And Get well Soon . Lots of Love and Care . :)

[@chaddsewell9004]

“Not wearing eye protection can greatly change how you see the world”. Good video everyone should always promote safety and PPE. Hamming 1 nail to hang a picture is simple easy but wear protection; Mowing lawn or spraying fertilizer. I had the nozzle fly off my hose attachment and chemical got all over me, it burned my exposed skin. Thankfully i had goggles on because of videos like this. Accidents can happen to anybody, anywhere, at any time.

[@alsiciliano4146]

I was in the woods last week I didn’t see a branch it hit my prescription glasses and it hit the middle of my glasses went off them and scratched my head .. I can’t imagine if I wasn’t wearing my glasses. Now I’m looking for a good safety glasses I’m not going in the woods without them or mowing or weed whacking . I never saw the branch and lucky for me I was wearing something. But next time will be a safety glass thanks for video ... I hope your eye gets better!!!!

[@callumkerr3123]

G-force sensor would be handier to show shock absorption of options used.

[@northwesttravels7234]

The problem that I had at work were all of the edges, boxy 3M model, causing distraction, and it was hard to focus through them. Near impossible to see through a camera viewfinder.

[@OtherSide..]

God bless bro

[@jg_co]

Where have you been! I have been searching for safety glasses as I had a similar accident but I was not hurt. The wood hit perfectly between the lens and on the nose piece. The safety glasses shattered in two pieces. The were arnourRX but they were old at least 9 to 10 years. It appeared the plasticseemed to have lost its pliability.anyways I wet on a hunt for a new pair.

[@techfrank2431]

Even though soildwork doesn't tell you the lens material, it still survived from that heavy impact

[@helpmeget100subs]

could I just keep the safety guard on the table saw?

[@jimmybrava2810]

good sht

[@AimerYui]

So, for impact test, what safety glasses is the best. I'm sorry for my bad English 🙂

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Always wear safety glasses z87+

[@Matteo-mz7op]

Great comparison. Recover soon

[@albertmaglunob8865]

Consider Bollé.

[@JohnSmith-dd1vl]

I wonder how full masks are protecting the eyes. For example 3M 6800

[@1stfloorguy59]

The dewalt fog up like craz when you put effort in. Visibility during use should be zero

i give up my rayban and using a magpul summit

*Uses table saw like a M1 Abrams turret*

[@claymcbunch1013]

Glasses did well but his neck broke

[@FatihKarakaya_ile]

I felt very upset for your eye.. Thank you for the video..

[@COEYRN]

Can I be annoying and suggest something that you could test in one of your videos. Types of sandpaper. Nothing to do with eyes but as for dust that comes away from sand paper which were most likely inhaling. So us dust dangerous and why? Plus different brands all seem to have different grits. You could talk about how sandpaper is made. also what sandpaper is made of. Plus the paper that the Sandpaper is on that sometimes sucks with some Brands sometimes not with others. Which sandpaper is the best and lasts longest. Last but not least some sandpaper has warning on It . While others don't. What the H-E DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS ?( this quote brought you from Cannonball Run, 10 times better than the Fast and Furious franchise. Please don't kill me😂)

[@DeusExAstra]

Honestly, the difference between a $2 pair of safety glasses and $20 is irrelevant to me when talking about important safety gear like this. I'll take the Solidwork, and in fact I just bought a pair. Even at $20, if it works well and doesnt fog up, it's worth it.

[@Planked]

Ergodyne

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

9:52 please.. no more

Test un-accurate dummy head should stay in place with smaller objects launched.
