OVERVIEW

Reliable Shade 5 Protection for Welders

When the sparks start flying, you need gear that doesn't just meet the standard—it needs to exceed your expectations for comfort and safety. The Lincoln Electric K3118-1 Cutting & Grinding Goggles are a staple for any welder's kit, specifically designed to handle the intense light and debris associated with plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. With a Shade 5 rating, these goggles provide the necessary darkness to protect your eyes from the bright glare of the cutting arc while allowing you to see your workpiece clearly.

Total Seal Against Debris

One of the biggest complaints with standard safety glasses is debris finding its way behind the lens. The K3118-1 solves this with a 100% surface seal design. The soft, flexible body of the goggles contours to your face, creating a tight barrier that keeps out grinding dust, hot sparks, and spatter. This full-coverage approach is essential for preventing eye injuries in environments where particles are coming from multiple angles.

Built for the Shop Environment

Lincoln Electric understands the demands of the welding shop. These goggles feature a durable red frame that stands up to rough handling and heat. The wide-view design ensures your peripheral vision isn't compromised, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings. Furthermore, the anti-fog lens technology helps keep your view crisp, preventing the frustration of having to stop and wipe your lenses mid-cut.

Adjustable and Secure Fit

Safety gear only works if it stays on. The K3118-1 comes equipped with a fully adjustable black headband that keeps the goggles firmly seated on your face, regardless of head size or movement. Whether you are working in a tight crawl space for process piping or standing at a bench for general fabrication, these goggles provide a secure fit that lets you focus on the weld, not your gear. They are an economical yet high-performance solution for anyone in the automotive, construction, or fabrication industries.
