It was a bench grinder (same difference) and I got lucky. It was under the eyelid for a few dozen seconds
minutesand worked it's way out. There was a small corneal scratch that healed completely and quickly, albeit painfully; I was lucky. I was wearing prescription glasses at the time and the stray wire ninja-ed around them. I roll with one of these now. They're light, cool and comfortable.edit: time
I recently switched from glasses to a full-face mask. Something like this
Doesn't fog up, even with dustmasks and it's earmuff compatible.
Time to invest in a face shield. $11 seems really cheap compared to some of those pics.
You might think about using a face shield like I use for wood working and then adapting that, it is a super lightweight plastic head band with a big clear shield you can flip up and down to cover your face. Might be a little big or clunky but you could cut it down a lot and it would provide a functional frame to decorate off of. I wear one for 6-8hrs at a time without any discomfort. Then you would even be able to flip the mask up out of the way for drinks or if you get too hot!
How would these 65 dollar chisels compare? This 80 dollar set? I don't see much of a difference between those two, and I'd also like to know how those compare to the ones youve linked above.
Also, how necessary/helpful would this set be/what's its uses?

Many thanks!
EDIT:Im assuming this mask does a fine enough job for my needs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BO6RIE/ref=pd_luc_rh_sbs_02_04_t_img_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Respirator- A simple dust mask is all that is really needed most of the time unless you're sanding exotic hardwoods or applying finish with harmful solvent vapors. These 3M 8511's are decent and comfortable (and what I use most of the time).
Ear plugs- Find a local Audiologist and have a set of custom earplugs made. They'll cost you a bit (The ones I had made were about 75$ per set) but they will be perfectly formed to your ears and you won't even feel them in place. Comfortable ear plugs are the ones that will be worn often. Where them whenever you're working in the shop.
Glasses- Go to a local Shopko or anywhere that sells glasses and find a pair that fit well, are comfortable on the ears and nose. Like ear plugs, the comfortable pair of safety glasses are the ones that will be worn and not left sitting on the bench. Where them! If you are doing fine sanding pick up a clear face shield and where that in addition to your glasses. This will stop 99% of flying dust from getting to your eyes.
I've not found a time I need to be wearing tight fitting goggles but I do have a good set in the shop just in case. I do where a pair once in awhile while on the job if I'm working with drywall or doing heavy demo work. It's not convenient to wear a full face shield sometimes and the goggles fill the need well. I found mine at a local Fastenal store, they have a decent selection of glasses too. If you don't have a Fastenal nearby, look for Grainger or any industrial or commercial contractor supply/rental store. They'll have a great selection to choose from.
So about a month and a half ago I was working on my Lathe (mini wood lathe) when I had an immediate machine failure. The chuck quickly lost its grip and tail stock center started to dig into the wood and slowly travel from the center of the wood outwards. After only about 2 seconds of being on the machine, the 5x5x16 chunk of bloodwood came hurdling off of the machine. It flew straight through the 1" steel tool rest and continued flying. It flew straight into my face with insane force. Had it not been for my full 3m face shield this one I would be dead. It hit the shield with enough force to tear through it, but the mask is curved so it managed to deflect 95% of force.
I will never just wear goggles again. I'm glad I decided it was a mask day. I use my lathe and other dangerous tools with much care, but things still will happen.

Haha this is such an advertisement. Thank you for making it even more apparent PriceZombie.
