Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dewalt DPG82-11C Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle
Customer Review: Goggles for the garage shop that are comfy
Summary: 4 Stars
I use these at home and on the job when cutting steel shelves and 3/4 inch melamine when trying to organize the garage. I also use them at the job site in customer's garages. Nice professional goggle. [...]Customer Review: Good Impact Resistance, scratches easily and fogs easily.
Summary: 3 Stars
These DeWalt safety goggles seem to have good impact resistance for anything that has hit them, but they started ti scratch easily right off the bat just from normal wear and sitting them down etc...
They easily fog from right out of the mail for me. Mine may have been missing some coating of some sort I don't know, but if you wear any type of dust masks, expect them to fog so quickly that you will be removing them very often to wipe them out.
They also do NOT seal around your eyes at all! There are many better options out there if you need the goggle to seal nicely so small wood dust etc. doesn't get into your eyes (used both tree trimming and wood cutting (and more). I am going to look for a better type or maybe even just get some good ski type or paintball type goggles to use. The best would be ballistic rated military goggles, but big price difference.
For basic use these aren't bad and the price isn't too bad, but they don't offer enough of a tight fit or foam around the edges etc. to keep dust out. There are goggles that seal better and still have foam filtered vents to keep from fogging up as bad.
It is nice that they come apart to swap lenses or to clean them very well in every corner.
Would I buy again, probably not. Do I regret the purchase, not really since they were cheap and I am getting some use out of them still.
Customer Review: Good for goggles, but consider other options
Summary: 4 Stars
I am writing to say that I appreciate these goggles, but would suggest that you consider other options as well.
I have some experience to support my thoughts. As a lab rat of several years (decades?) standing with fairly high-level medical training, I have personally tried a number of eye protection schemes. Many but not all of them have been involved in low level radiation and biohazard protection, which is most often less serious than metal or woodworking hazards.
The possible solutions fall into three major categories: 1) plastic "glasses" for people who wear no eye correction or who wear contacts, 2) goggles (like the DeWalt model here), and 3) full face shields.
The primary consideration is whether the protection is something you will actually wear. You simply do not know, until you try good examples of all three classes, what actually works for you. So, if you are serious about preserving your vision, just suck it up and be willing (if you're unhappy with the first option you pick) to try more than one.
The options for people without optically correcting glasses of their own include all three schemes. While polycarbonate "glasses" with side protectors are good for major chips or particles, they allow a fair amount of dust to pass near your eyes. That will be mostly irritating, but not hugely dangerous, for exposures of minutes to hours. Goggles like the DeWalt's are better, as long as you wear them and they don't fog. I find this set to be a pretty good (comfortable and dust-reducing) solution. Full face masks are better protection against large chips, but still allow a fair amount of dust by your eyes.
If you wear full-frame glasses, my experience suggests that full face mask solutions are often the most workable. Most polycarbonate "glasses-like" solutions that fit over your real glasses tend to knock your real ones out of place easily: that pretty much ends the experiment. Goggles with a fair amount of room under them, like these DeWalt's, can be good but are still a bit troublesome. This set tends to fog fairly little compared to others I've tried and only knocks your real glasses out of place a bit when you take them on and off. I would rate them as very good compared to most of the competition. However, that's still enough to make me wear them less than I should. As I write this, I'm waiting for a goofy looking full-face shield that I know from work experience is best for me.
YMMV, but please spend the time now to fix the problem for the next few years...you'll really like being able to see your friends and family, not just your work.
Customer Review: Good for the DIY-er
Summary: 5 Stars
These are my favorite pair of googles I've ever worn. They hardly ever fog and are comfortable to wear. I know nothing is getting in my eyes when I'm wearing them. I haven't worn them longer than an hour or two at a time, but for that duration, they are comfortable and fog free.Customer Review: Good product...comfortable
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good product. These goggles fit over my glasses with no problem at all. They still fog up, even though I work in a temperature controlled lab. Other than that, no problems...
