(nail gun shooting)
(men laughing)
(saw buzzing)
(model smashing)
- [Jobe] Oh something lost a- (both exclaiming)
- Whoo. (flame roaring)
(spray can puffing)
(men exclaiming)
- We're testing safety glasses today, Jobe.
- Heck yeah.
- We got $1 verse $20-
- Versus-
(bell chiming)
$150 safety glasses.
Do you really need to spend 150 times the money
just to protect your eyeballs?
- Let's find out.
(palm thumping) - Lets.
(bird squeaking)
(water flowing)
- [Announcer] Thanks to eBay Motors
for sponsoring today's video.
- Hey Jobe, what you doing?
- Oh, just grabbing this eBay Motors banner
from the toolbox.
You know, since they're sponsoring
this entire season of Tool Party,
I just wanted to make sure
that their banner was kept nice and safe.
- Nice.
Just like eBay Motors keeps the shopping process safe
with their money back guarantee.
You get the tool, part,
even car you ordered or your money back.
It's that simple.
- And speaking of simple,
eBay Motors made it simple for you
to buy the exact tools we use on this show
by adding links below.
Show eBay some love by clicking the description
to find tools and a whole lot more.
All right, now let's hang this thing up.
Pass me a wrench.
(upbeat music)
- Okay.
- This is just someone's sandwich
and a delicious cup of peaches.
- Wait a minute.
So if this is just somebody's lunch,
then where are my tools?
(tools clanging)
- Jobe
(music playing)
- All right, Jobe
Why would I need a pair of safety glasses?
- Well, eyeballs are pretty soft and susceptible
to getting damaged by stuff coming at 'em real quick.
Working with chemicals and getting sprayed,
working with metal, throwing sparks, or sometimes
like we've seen on this show,
stuff just blows up.
(glass shattering)
- You got me.
- We've got a few different pairs here,
and we're gonna test them out.
- We have at the bottom end of the spectrum,
a dollar pair of safety glasses.
- Yeah. Made by Bison Life.
Super cheap.
That's a basic safety glass.
- A buck,
great.
Toss 'em.
Throw 'em in the bag.
They get scratched up,
you get a new pair, new pairs. - Yeah.
- Next on this,
we have a $20 pair of 3M Solus 1000 series.
- They sound cool.
That's a cool name.
They are rated
to the same safety standards as the cheap glasses.
Yeah, these are pretty nice.
Pretty good seal around the face.
Pretty comfy.
- Next on our list,
we have-
- Oakley,
$150 safety glasses.
What the heck? - [Crowd] Wow.
- Hey, come on.
Let's be honest.
That is a lot of money.
- It's crazy.
Especially for something you intend to beat up.
But at the same time,
I've spent that money on sunglasses.
That's sort of the same thing, right?
But do you need to spend that much?
I don't know.
We also...
We got a...
We got a fourth contender here.
He's got some cheapies from the gas station.
(whip lashing)
This represents what a lot of people
end up actually using in the garage,
just whatever sunglasses they have laying around.
All right.
So we're gonna put all these glasses through the ringer.
We're gonna do some A.N.S.I tests,
which are official.
- But then we're gonna put 'em to the practical test.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes to test safety equipment,
you gotta get a little dangerous.
- And we don't wanna mess up our faces.
- That's right.
(drum rolling) - So-
- We've been cloned.
- This is you.
- Oh, Jerry.
We've always wanted to do this.
- So the first test we're gonna be doing is
the ANSI drop test.
So ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute.
So one of their tests is a 500 gram spike.
That is dropped directly onto the the lens of the glass
from a height of 50 inches.
Are you ready, Jery?
- I'm ready.
- Are you ready, Jery?
- Yes.
- 3, 2, 1
(spike thudding)
(spike clanging)
(men exclaiming) - Look at that.
- Direct hit.
- Just a little dimply dot.
Can't even feel it from the backside.
- That really saved my eyes.
- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you dollar pair of glasses.
Now, we have the $20 pair.
Gelatinous Jery.
He doesn't even look scared.
- Okay, bud.
3, 2, 1.
(spike thumping)
(spike clanging)
- Ooh.
Glanced right off him.
But, I mean, it was kind of a glancing blow.
How about we try it one more time, Jobe,
to see if we can get a direct hit.
- Yep.
- 3, 2, 1.
(spike thumping)
(spike clanging)
- That was a good hit.
I'd say less of a dimple than the cheap ones.
- All right.
We have our $150 pair of Oakleys.
- Uh-huh.
(spike clanging)
(spike thumping)
(spike clanging)
- Oh.
- We got it with a bit of a glancing blow,
kind of poked his cheek afterwards.
Okay. Looking for a direct hit on the Oakleys.
3, 2, 1.
(spike thumping)
(spike clanging)
- Direct.
Maybe the least dimpling though.
These might be a little harder than the others,
but we have one more test,
gas station glasses.
- You shouldn't be using these.
This is just informational purposes only.
(spike clanging)
(spike thumping)
(spike clanging)
- Oh, direct hit.
Just ejected it right straight back up.
Is that just the coding or is that the lens?
I mean, that guy can still see.
Four glasses.
Three of them safety.
No catastrophic failures.
- Yep.
- All doing pretty well.
- Yeah. Not bad.
- Well, like you mentioned earlier,
one of the cautions you have to take is
when you're spraying chemicals.
So we've rigged up our gelatinous heads here
with some pH strips.
So what we're gonna do is
we're gonna blast these heads with chemical and see-
- How much actually gets
on the actual eye portion. - Yeah.
I'm gonna hit this guy with a 1, 2, 3.
(spray puffing)
Well, not too terribly bad.
We got a little bit in his right eye.
- We got peppering in there.
- Yeah, that definitely burns a little bit,
but you're probably gonna be able to see.
The dollar safety glasses did a pretty good job.
Now let's try the $20 pair,
and see if they can completely eradicate the eyeball spray.
1, 2, 3. (spray puffing)
Oh, just a little in the right eye.
Probably came from up top.
- I'm gonna put this on my face.
- See the gap?
- Yeah. I see it.
- See, that's what happened.
- And you can't make that gap go away?
- And I can't make it go away.
Like what am I supposed to do,
walk around like this? - No. No.
I'm...
I'm with you.
- Because now I can't work with my hands.
I gotta loosen stuff with my tongue.
- I understand.
- Honestly, that's...
To me, that's pretty much a tie.
Sorry, Jery.
(spray puffing)
- [Both] Whoa.
- Oh, okay. Okay.
We got a little.
Oh, it's bleeding.
- Oh, it's bleeding. - Oh, you gotta wipe your eye.
Wipe your eye, Jery.
- Wipe your eye. - Wipe your eye.
- The seal didn't really properly seal it.
In a real life situation,
you would've had time to wipe that away.
I'm ready to call those the winner so far.
But before we do that,
let's go ahead and test the gas station sunglasses.
(spray puffing)
- Oh.
(Jery laughing)
- She's wet.
And I think that just comes
from how poorly these are shaped to the face.
- So, I think Oakley, dollar, 3M,
and then, obviously- - I'm with you.
- sunglasses
- So far, not unimpressed.
But now I wanna see
how they handle a harsher chemical like brake cleaner.
- Okay. We have some non-chlorinated brake cleaners.
What I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna do one stream straight to the fricking lens.
(spray puffing)
- [Both] Whoa.
- Can we do one straight stream on the backside,
see how the gaskets hold up?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Now you might be wondering why we even did that,
like spraying the back of 'em?
But the fact is most of the time,
your safety glasses are on the bench.
Sometimes,
you be spraying something up with some brake cleaner
even though you should maybe be wearing 'em and you're not.
And you accidentally spray your glasses.
Dollar units, crystal clear.
No problem.
Didn't care.
Holy crap.
Those did not like it.
- Oh, it ate it.
Can you see through 'em?
- Not safely.
The Oakleys-
- Oh, we-
That's the coating coming right off.
It hasn't rendered them useless.
You can wipe that right off and still see through 'em,
which is nice.
I would continue using 'em.
- Sunglasses-
- They didn't care at all.
(dramatic music)
- (indistinct) kidding me, bro.
If anything, I look cooler now.
- Whoa dude.
The dollar safety glasses,
fine with it. - Fine.
3Ms destroyed.
These are trash now.
- Destroyed.
- The Oakleys took a little damage.
- Great.
Still usable-
- Which is another reason
these obviously have no coating.
They're just straight up plastic lenses,
which is good- - Yeah.
- for chemicals - Yeah.
'cause you don't have a coating to react with.
(bell dinging)
(relaxing music)
- This is probably one of the most common uses for me
for safety glasses
is grinding, weld, doing stuff that's around sparks.
I've gotten metal in my eyes a lot.
We've gotta see
if these glasses protect our little eyes.
- That's right.
- (indistinct) We gotta see how many get in
around the sides and edges.
(saw buzzing)
- You got some sparks in your eyes there, Jery.
Your next blink is gonna be spicy.
- But it definitely got, on the, in the eye hole thing.
- Yeah. Now, that was a lot of direct hits to the face.
You know, you usually try
to avoid that a little bit better in real life.
But a lot of metal did get around those.
So let's move up to the 3Ms- - Okay.
- $20 pair. - Yeah.
(saw buzzing)
(hiphop music)
- Wow.
- It did better.
- It did amazing
- Way better.
- That's pretty good.
- I could blink that out.
(saw buzzing)
- Wow. Pretty good.
- (indistinct)
- There's hardly any in there.
- Yeah. There's hardly any.
Couple specs in there.
- If not for the safety glasses, it would look like that.
- So far, you're paying for performance.
But we still have one more.
- Yeah.
- (indistinct) is looking cool, man.
- (indistinct) is looking cool.
- [Both] Whoa.
- Actually pretty dang good.
- This isn't supposed to happen this way.
- Again,
don't use sunglasses-
- Unless you want good spark protection.
- Right. Oh, don't say that either.
- I think most people have seen
the picture of a cutting disc that broke off.
- 'Cause, I mean,
that's really what you're thinking about
when you're using a cutoff wheel.
This thing comes apart,
your eyeball can't heal.
So we have rigged up a sick little rig
that is going to chuck shards
directly into the face of our jelly boys.
- We've got this disc on the grinder
that is pre-cut, ready to come apart.
So, we've got a bunch of hardware,
random hardware in this bucket.
Some of that is gonna go through this tube
by way of compressed air
into this fractured disc
causing it to explode into my face.
Definitely, don't try this at home
even though it looks super fun.
- Here we go.
Gonna turn this on
in 3, 2, 1.
(grinder buzzing)
(shards clanging)
- I thought that might happen.
- All right.
Shut her off.
I didn't even have to do anything.
- I thought you shot it.
- No.
Wow.
And whoever put that one on didn't tighten her.
That's about as dangerous as it comes.
No face contact whatsoever.
Part of this is gonna be a little bit luck,
luck that we actually hit the-
- We get a strike.
Take two.
(grinder buzzing)
(shards clanging)
- And another no hit.
- Another no hit.
- Third time's a charm.
(grinder revving)
(shards clanging)
- That seemed like a hit.
- [Both] Ah.
- That was straight to the mouth.
Keep going.
We gotta get a direct hit.
(shards clanging)
- We definitely got a face hit there.
- The glasses look good.
- Glasses look great.
- Well, we are trying to change the strategy a bit.
Six discs and we had no direct strikes.
So, more glasses.
(shards clanging)
- Whoa.
- That's a hit.
Skipped right off of it.
- Yeah. No big deal.
All right. We have the $20 3M safety glasses.
Jobe, you ready?
- Oh yeah.
(shards clanging)
- Whoa. - Yeah.
- Something lost a lens,
and it's that gas station boy's.
- It's the gas station.
- That's great.
Protected your eyeball.
- Yep. Same (indistinct) - And after that-
- That was a solid hit.
(shards clanging)
- Oh.
(shards clanging)
- Oh.
- This thing just can't
keep the the important part in.
No hit on the Oakleys.
Let's explode another.
(shards clanging)
- Oh, we got a direct hit to the Oakleys.
I mean that's as solid a hit as we could ask for.
(shard clanging)
Okay. Well, I would give all these a successful pass.
You just wanna make sure they save your eyes,
and all the safeties did save your eyes.
(upbeat music)
What if you caught on fire?
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
(Jery laughing)
All right, Jery.
Let's see how they do,
the $1 safety glasses, the Bison Lifes.
(flame roaring)
(man laughing)
- I'm melting.
I'm melting.
- Oh man.
Melted my nose.
I mean, look at my eyes though.
- Yeah.
I don't know.
Yours are smoked out way more than mine.
Mine are still white as hell.
Yours...
Look like you've been on fire-
- (indistinct) - but dang.
- You clean these up,
and those things are fine.
- For me, right now-
(bell dinging)
these are winning.
Up third and fourth,
we've got the Oakleys at 150 bucks,
and then the gas station junkers.
(flame roaring) - Woo.
(both laughing)
- My glasses are just melting.
(flame roaring)
- Yeah. I think there's an obvious wear
between the two.
I mean, we got
some cracking of, like, I guess, the coating.
Eyes pretty good.
- Pretty good eyes.
- They...
They still don't even look as smoked out
as your did on the first round.
Now, the gas stations.
(man laughing)
They took on a bit of a new shape.
- They did.
I wouldn't say that these would protect you
from a blast of flame, straight to the,
straight to the eyes.
(electric guitar music)
(relaxing music)
- I went to a store this morning and bought a nail gun.
So, I was thinking
maybe we shoot some nails at these things.
- Oh, heck yeah.
- I bought the biggest one.
(man laughing)
We're gonna be fine.
(nail gun shooting)
- Why don't they have sights on these?
(men laughing)
So this thing has a automatic mode.
So let's see what that does.
- Okay. Cool.
Why not?
(dramatic music)
(nail gun shooting)
(dramatic music)
(nail gun shooting)
(both laughing)
- Okay. That's a few hits on each.
- Well that deflected it.
Perfect. No damage at all.
- Who would've thought safety glasses would be so safe.
(nail gun shooting)
(both laughing)
- Uh. That's awesome.
(both laughing)
- Direct hit there and there.
No eyes have been put out.
Safety glasses did their job.
What if we just put the gun straight up to the glasses?
- Yeah. I wanna see what happens point blank.
Everybody good?
- [Jery] Mm-hmm.
(nail gun shooting)
(upbeat music)
- Oh. - Yeah.
Not much you can do about that.
(man laughing)
(nail gun shooting)
- [Jery] Oh.
- Sorry, dude.
Well, hey, those things aren't falling off anytime soon.
I'm gonna be super impressed
if any of these stop this.
(nail gun shooting)
- Oh.
- 3, 2, 1.
(nail gun shooting)
(man laughing) - Oh.
- Right through the pupil.
(nail gun shooting)
- Oh.
Straight through.
(nail gun shooting)
- Ah.
- (indistinct) - All right, gas station.
(nail gun shooting)
(both laughing)
- Shattered the lens.
- Shattered the lens
and knocked the other one clean out-
(Jery laughing) - in the process.
Basically,
short story is don't take a spike gun to the eye.
- All right, Jery,
before we get into the safety glasses,
let's go ahead and count these guys out.
- Yeah.
If you are using sun sunglasses
from a gas station- (glass shattering)
don't use 'em.
- Yeah.
Okay. Now let's get to the safety glasses.
For about a dollar a pair,
we got the Bison Lifes.
And I gotta say they did pretty dang good.
They don't have gaskets. - Yeah.
- But they still seal to the shape of the face
pretty well.
At about a bucket piece,
you get 'em in a pack of a dozen.
Yeah. They're like disposable.
Question for me always has been
whether or not they would actually protect my eyes
in the event of something catastrophic.
And now I know they will. - Absolutely.
- And they're also basically free.
- Yeah.
- Pretty good.
- Moving on to the 3Ms,
we have the added face sealer here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Now, for me,
these didn't fit my face at all.
- Sure.
- So, I wouldn't have picked these
even if they were the best,
but that's just because they didn't fit my face.
- Right.
- Aside from that-
- It fit my face pretty well.
And when it does fit your face,
it not only is good to try to keep things outta your eyes,
but it's more comfortable too.
Now, these did terrible with the chemicals.
But otherwise, they did pretty well,
I mean, against the sparks,
the grinder discs, the nails.
Personally,
so far, what I'm thinking,
you have a bunch of these around, laying around,
and then you have like one pair of these
for when you're doing a bunch of grinding.
Now, moving on up to the $150 mark.
Honestly, I was ready
to be impressed by them somehow or another,
but they really didn't do anything better than the others.
- Why not?
- They do a good job. - Right.
- I just don't really see the value
in that kind of money
for something that I'm definitely gonna destroy.
- I would just buy a bunch of these.
I'd have a couple in my truck.
I'd have a couple in my toolbox,
because how many times
are you working on a car,
and you're just like, "Oh-
- "I'm already here." - "I'm fine.
I'm fine. - Yeah.
I'm not gonna-" - "I'll just do the squint."
- "I'll do the squint."
- I'm pretty much in agreement with you.
I would definitely have a lot of these,
but then I think I would have a pair of these
laying around for when I need something with a gasket.
- Yeah.
- To me, these are the winner.
- I agree.
(upbeat music)
(rock music)
- [Announcer] We just got our new Buffhorses club tees
and they're super high quality and a hundred percent cotton.
