K3117-150 - Bifocal Welding Safety Glasses - 150 Diopter

Precision Inspection for Professional Welders

In the world of welding and fabrication, attention to detail is everything. The Lincoln Electric K3117-150 Bifocal Safety Glasses are engineered specifically for fabricators who need to inspect welds, read blueprints, and set up equipment with absolute clarity. Featuring a built-in +1.50 diopter, these "cheater" style safety glasses bring the fine details into focus, making them an essential accessory for any welder's gear bag. They eliminate the hassle of fitting separate reading glasses under a welding helmet or constantly swapping eyewear between hoods.

These glasses are not just about magnification; they are built for the harsh environment of the metalworking shop. The lenses are crafted to meet ANSI Z87.1 standards, providing certified resistance against high-velocity impact. This is crucial for welders who frequently switch between welding, grinding, and chipping tasks. The clear lens configuration is ideal for shop environments, allowing for excellent visibility when setting up TIG torches, adjusting wire feeders, or inspecting the toe of a weld for undercut. The full-coverage frame design ensures that sparks and grinding dust are kept at bay from all angles.

Fit and retention are paramount when working in active positions. The K3117-150 features slip-resistant temple tips that grip gently but firmly behind the ears. This prevents the glasses from sliding down the nose when you are sweating under a hood or working out of position. The streamlined profile allows them to fit comfortably under most welding helmets and face shields without creating painful pressure points. This integration of comfort and utility means you can keep your PPE on throughout the entire fabrication process.

For the veteran welder or the detail-oriented fabricator, visual acuity is the key to quality control. Identifying porosity, checking fit-up gaps, and reading amperage displays requires sharp vision. The Lincoln Electric Bifocal Safety Glasses provide that necessary visual aid while maintaining the highest level of safety compliance. Upgrade your personal protective equipment with a solution that supports both your eyes and your craftsmanship.
