Safety Glasses have the power to protect your precious eyesight! In fact, over 800,000 eye injuries occur each year and 90% of which could have been prevented with the use of proper eye protection. So, technically speaking, that’s around 720,000 eye injuries avoided, thanks to the use of Safety Glasses! 

Today, the use of Safety Glasses is advised; and in some industries, essential… Industries such as: The Medical Industry, The Retail Industry, The Beauty Industry, as well a long list of other sectors, now require the use of safety equipment, in order to work and serve the general public.

Safety Glasses offer protection from impact, debris and other particles, as well as a handful of other hazardous materials. Safety Glasses can also offer UV protection and can be rated to ANSI Z87+ standards, depending on where you buy your safety glasses from of course.

Safety is of course the most important feature of safety glasses, that’s pretty obvious, it’s in the name, right!? Here at ToolFreak, we believe that ultimate protection is paramount, as is your right to look insanely cool! Strong and sturdy safety glasses don’t have to be unflattering and uncool.

Features of fearless & fashionable Safety Glasses

Lightweight: 

Big, bulky safety glasses can weigh you down… literally! Safety Glasses that are heavy are quite simply a burden. How much of a hindrance would it be having to carry this weight around all day long! Smart & slim goggles are so light, in fact, you will forget that they’re on your head or in your bag. Save your energy for more important tasks ahead…

Sprayed: 

Safety Glasses come in all shapes, sizes and designs. At ToolFreak, we spray the arms of our safety glasses with bright & beaming colours that just scream ‘cool and courageous’. Why would you settle for boring, mundane eyewear that looks lifeless.

Colourful:

As mentioned above, you can buy smart safety glasses, with luminous colours sprayed onto them, well, you can also choose between a number of different lens colours, depending on what environment you plan to wear them in. You can opt for yellow lenses in dull & lowlight conditions, or choose clear lenses that promote insane clarity! Or perhaps you want reflective, red mirror safety glasses? These will make you look like a complete bad a** that’s for sure.
