Hobart 770096 Welding Oxy-Acetylene Goggle - 50mm Eye Cup

I’ve been using them to observe thermite reactions and I can safely look directly at my experiments without any danger or discomfort, plan to recommend these for my colleagues for durability and protection

I replace the tined lens with clear. Sure u look like a mion. But it keeps everything out of your eyes. Very comfortable. Did not fog up.

They work great! Fit snug, tint it perfect, and would buy another pair for sure

Goggles have a hole in side which lets in light.For the price I could not justify the time it would take to send them back.

Admittedly, I don't do too much welding or brazing anymore, but I thought it would be nice to have my own safety equipment and I was familiar with this very versatile and adaptable design. The core product that you are getting is the heat resistant, moulded eye-cup frame. Each eyecup has it's own side air vents. Everything else (elastic strap, nose bridge chain, lenses) are all replaceable and changeable.Therein lies the main strength of this particular set of goggles. Adaptability. The lenses are exactly 50mm diameter circles and with a twist of the threads can be removed, replaced, upgraded or adapted to different applications.My mods include impact resistant contrast intensifying yellow Lexan safety/shooting glasses, purple tint glacier sunglasses, and anti-laser/coherent light scattering safety goggles, plus the original oxy-acetylene welding goggles and clear wind/dust screen goggles all ready to interchange as needed. Easy to make or order 50mm circles. I have changed the strap also to a nicer, wider non-slip military strap. Since durability was a more important characteristic than flame resistance for me, I replaced the chain nose bridge piece with knotted paracord webbing (but with a plastic sleeve still). And everything (the folded stacked goggles and extra lenses) fits into this small cylindrical leather case, which might have originally been made for a telescope (?).Further mods to make it look more steampunk can easily be made as the frame can readily be drilled through and accessories bolted or glued on. It can be painted a metallic colour (like brass), weathered, and/or the strap changed to a plain rubber or leather/elastic. It looks authentically industrial revolution because it is an implement of industry.Fashion aside, I am happy with the simple utility of this inexpensive set of goggles.

I originally bought these plus a pair of 14 shade lenses to observe the solar eclipse in 2017. They were perfect for the event. Fast forward to 2023 and I suddenly inherit an oxyacetylene gas welding set up. Only problem is I have presbycusis (old eyes) I had a flash of inspiration and searched for 50 mm diameter double convex lenses with 50 cm (500 mm) focal point, which is roughly equivalent to 2.0 reading glasses. Added them to the goggles and can see my welds perfectly.

These goggles worked perfectly for my cosplay the black frames are glass and fog up easily but the clear frames are hard plastic and don’t fog up easily they are better than the other brands I’ve bought before

I am not a welder, but my occupation does require me to wear eye protection from heat and loose debris. I was looking for something less conservative than the usual safety goggles and this product is just what I wanted. Not only will I be able to wear them at work, but I can throw them on for costume parties and other outdoor activities where I might need eye protection from the sun.Product has an elastic head band that might break with little wear. The bridge band that joins the two eye coverings is adjustable via a beaded chain. I recommend taking your time and adjusting the bridge band for a comfortable fit. I wore it as it came and ended up with a bit of a headache due to excessive pressure on the bridge of my nose (bad idea). Each eye of the goggle assemblies has an adjustable valve for moisture ventilation which is very useful in preventing lenses from fogging when working and sweating.I was satisfied with this product, but in a practical capacity for which the product was designed: welding. I am unable to comment.
