Hot Or Not: Magnifying Safety Glasses
Toolmonger: "Many Toolmongers are familiar with the eye strain that comes with years of examining fine measurements, instruction manuals, and other close-up work in the shop. Since it’s such a common issue, a slew of companies makes various types of magnifying and bifocal safety glasses — 3M, Fastcap, DeWalt, Apex, and Smith and Wesson, to name a few"

These are interesting, but I think better for smaller work, but not for what we do. Walking around with bifocals is difficult - I find it really hard to deal with the reduced field of vision, and I pretty rarely need the magnification for stuff we do. What could be nice is a welding mask with magnification - that's when I need to see details a little bit better.
I can honestly say that I don't use a magnifying glass all that much in the shop but, if there was already one on the glasses then, I'm pretty sure that I'd use it more even though it wouldn't really be that necessary. I'm not really all too sure what it would be essential for though. The only thing that I can think of that we may want to magnify what we are seeing is if we are welding something. I just don't see us using it all too much in our field.
