It is possible to spend as much as you want for tools from the ridiculously cheap to the astronomically expensive. Cheap tools can interfere with work and can even become safety hazards. I don't think there is anything wrong with expensive, high quality tools (just ask my wife!) but they don't quite fit into our product line.
We offer good quality, basic tools that get the job done while providing a reasonable level of durability and comfort. Our tools can provide many years of service if used properly. We test these tools every day at our own workbenches and in our classes.

| Safety Spectacles Safety spectacles protect your eyes from splaching solder and flying wire snips. Spectacles are more comfortable than goggles because they don't have that elastic band stretching around your head or leave you with racoon marks around your eyes. They do not provide quite as much protection as goggles but are often a good compromise because they get used more often due to comfort issues-- goggles sitting in a drawer don't provide any protection at all. Can be worn over most glasses. Manufacturer: ELENCO. Manufacturer's Part Number: ST-22. More Product Details ... | |||||||||||||
