Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 49-17-3000 MK3000 Heavy Duty Impact Goggle Clear Anti-Fog
Customer Review: Permanently Fogged
Summary: 2 Stars
These are actually made in China by Sperian (a company that was called Bacou-Dalloz when they made these for Milwaukee) and they are apparently sold by Sperian as Willson® V-Maxx® Goggle w/ Fog-Ban® anti-fog coating. The smudgy coating on two of three pairs bought for our shop makes the goggles' lenses very hard to see through; they are much less clear than the cheap throw-away blister pack in which the goggles are sold. It is impossible to remove the coating with water and soap or detergent, and impossible to buff it off with a soft cloth. Sperian customer service at 1-800-682-0833 could provide no advice on how to remove the smudgy mess, claiming never to have heard about the problem. I have heard that line too many times from too many manufacturers to believe it any more.
It is a shame the lens is so bad, because the soft vinyl frame and headband are well-designed and comfortable.
Customer Review: Safety and reliability
Summary: 5 Stars
These safety goggles do exactly what they are made to do... protect your eyes. Milwaukee makes all their products to last. They do so without steaming up and without bothersome and frequent adjustments. They fit fine and for the price I like them a lot.Customer Review: Very comfortable, works well
Summary: 5 Stars
The seal on these is flexible and makes for a good fit. I use these when routing, sawing, etc. The fully enclosed style compared to just glasses prevents the chips from blowing under, or coming over. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Way too big
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these goggles for my Chem lab but was disappointed when I first put them on; these goggles are huge! They not only cover my eyes, but also my nose, cheeks, and forehead. It feels more like that I'm wearing a mask rather than a pair of goggles.
These goggles fog up (I know description says otherwise) but I have to periodically take it off to get rid of the water mist that blinds me.
I have a 4 hour lab class and by the end of it, the goggles have drilled lines into my cheeks/forhead where it was resting. These marks last for hours.
Conclusion, unless you have HUGE prescription glass and can't find goggles to fit over, don't bother. Get something smaller and more comfortable.
Customer Review: Would not recomend this item to a friend.
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
Really large, fits on prescription glices nicely.
Really anti-fog, stays clear.
Cons:
Not so transparent as it should be.
Heavy flaring.
From the 1st glance these goggles look really great, they fit your head nicely, are fine with prescription glasses and also, fog-free, but, they are not so transparent as should be. They have some kind of flaring, blur and glow initially, so, working with smaller, or heavily illuminated objects is not so easy. So, these goggles will be OK when used with cut off machine or angle grinder, but are almost unusable for smaller projects, such as using dremel or doing small crafts. Consider this before ordering.
