Eclipse is a comin'!

I got my welders goggles, I am ready.

I didn't buy them, years ago, for welding.  I got them in case of finding myself in a post apocalyptic wasteland. 

MY BODY IS CHROME!



Also, they made great gifts, for $16, for nephews or nieces interested in Steam Punk stuffs.

They are German, so I can't tell what the lenses are rated.  I'm sure I will be ok.

    Welders glass shade 13 is what you need. Those look like gas welding gear, which uses much lighter filters, so you might not be alright.

    Rich is right, probably not enough shade. At least 13 or better.

    You've likely got 8.

    Made for oxyacetylene brazing, not welding.

    You seriously will damage yer eyes looking at the sun with those.

    Go to a welding store and buy a replacement glass. Or just go to Harbor Freight and buy a $39 welding facemask. Don't get the self darkening ones, get a fixed shade. At least 13.

    Shade 12, 13, or 14 is what NASA recommended in a news release yesterday.

    Pfff, I look at the sun when there is NO moon in front of it. You are in the pocket of Big Goggles.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
