I found the original box. Tasco ProClass, $34, would have been bought around mid 1990s.
They may have saved my eyesight once, I had a Dremel cutting disk shatter, the piece that hit me in the lip left a good burn!
I never use power tools or hammers without eye protection, a guy I worked for pulled a nail out of a piece of wood and ended up needing a man-made lens in his eye, and he was lucky.
