Eye Protection / Safety Glasses
Safety Glasses That Fit the Way You Work
Safety glasses here are mostly Milwaukee, and the bigger choice is often fit and frame rather than lens. Options include wraparound glasses, High Performance frames with or without a foam gasket, Over the Glasses frames that fit over prescription eyewear, vented low-profile goggles, and a BOLT Eye Visor that mounts to Milwaukee BOLT helmets and hard hats. Magnified safety glasses come in strengths from 1.0x to 3.0x for reading tapes and fine print up close.
What to Look For
- Prescription wearers. Over the Glasses frames go over your own glasses. Magnified readers replace drugstore readers on the job.
- Hard hat users. The BOLT Eye Visor clips to BOLT helmets, so it stays put when you look up.
- Long days. High Performance frames add a closer, more secure fit for all-day wear.
- Magnification. Match the strength to the readers you already use.
The Tool Nut has been an authorized dealer and specialty tool store since 1994. Safety glasses ship with free shipping on most orders, and you earn rewards points on each one.
Eye Protection / Safety Glasses FAQ
Can I wear safety glasses over my prescription glasses?
Use a frame made for it. Over the Glasses models are sized to fit over most prescription frames. Standard safety glasses sit too close to the face and will not seal properly over another pair.
Which magnification strength do I need?
Start with the strength of the reading glasses you use now. If you do not own readers, try 1.5x for reading tapes at arm's length and step up if fine print still blurs.
