SAFETY ITEMS

The boys in the back room called this IZoom Pro™ flashlight ludicrously bright, and they’re usually right. Rated at 300, 1200, and 2500 lumens with a strobe setting, light is through a reticular COB LED element with an adjustable focus lens. Takes (6) “AA” batteries, and they’re included. Measures 7” long x 1-1/2” dia in black aluminum alloy body. Has up to a 4-hour life, depending on the beam strength you use.

This 300 Lumen LED light is a mighty mite. Just under 4-1/2" long x 1" dia, you slide the sleeve and the beam zooms from a flood to a don't-stare-into-this focused spot. In black or gun metal anodized aluminum, it's weatherproof and shockproof with a latching button switch and a pocket clip. Depress the button halfway when it's on and it goes into a rapid-flash mode for emergency signaling. Visible for 275 meters. Five hour life with the included 1-"AA" battery and a 110K+ hour bulb life.

Any liquid, actually, will power this seemingly magic MIZU emergency light. Measures 3-1/2” x 1-3/4” x 5/8”. Dip it in any clear fluid for 5 seconds and it’s good for 72 hours of light from a small white LED or (2) flashing reds. Has a total output of (400) hours of light. Not the brightest light in the drawer, but it runs on water, for goodness sake. Or other “watery fluid” the manufacturer says, including “juice, coffee, saliva or even urine.” Hey, sometimes there’s more than one emergency. (Imagine the headlines we could have used. Your mind is working right now, we know.) We'll pick one in black, white or orange because you’ve got enough to think about for the next few minutes.

Add these heavy-duty black rubber treads wherever you need extra safety. In a raised pattern the same as diamond steel plate, each tread is 17-1/2" x 4" x 1/4" thick with a peel-off, self-adhesive back. Put ’em on stairs or in the workshop, garage, pool house, deck or shed.

The mother of all flashlights! At a foot long, this extra-sturdy rechargeable LED COB flashlight shines an ultra-bright 5000 lumens and has the ability to charge your phone and other devices with its USB output. Has (3) beam settings (max/low/strobe) with an adjustable slide focus and a range of 150 meters. The 6000mAh powerbank has a USB port, and comes with a charging cable. Lasts 90 minutes on high, or three hours on low. Weatherproof, and the power cord stores in the handle.

Stay safe and find stuff in the dark by sticking this high-intensity reflective tape on bikes, bumpers, mailboxes, ramps, barricades, whatever. Red with gray, measures 2” wide and you get a 3-foot roll. US-DOT approved.

This is one smart emergency flashlight. Like Kent Clark/Superguy, this 6” long mild-mannered flashlight charges by day and springs into action at night. Pull it out of the base, and you’ve got a 150 and 300 lumen COB LED flashlight ready to vanquish the darkness. Plus, there are magnets in the bottom so you can stick it to ferrous surfaces. Or leave it in the base and it stands guard as a motion and light-activated nightlight, which is great any time, but you’ll really appreciate it during power outages. No fumbling with batteries—just pop it into the 4-1/4” base to recharge via the fold-in, rotatable USB port. Charges in about 3-hours. Flashlight measures 2-1/4” dia. and very light gray colored.

Safety is as safety does these days, and we recommend these high-quality, safety goggles, unvented for maximum splatter protection and ANSI Z87.1-rated. Measure 6” wide x 3-5/8” tall x 3-1/8” deep. The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face. One size fits most adults, and Pat, the boss around here, slipped them over his glasses, no problem. Goggles are sealed in a bag and the vendor says sterile if un-opened, which is good since you just washed your hands. We’ve seen them selling for $9-plus in the Ama-zone. Our price is better, right? Our bulk pricing makes them great for the workplace or schools.

Plastic safety goggles with a clear, fairly hard single pane front. The wrap around is clear, and the top and sides have dozens of little holes for ventilation. The whole is big enough to fit over regular glasses comfortably. An elastic strap holds them in place. Made in China.

The first-responders’ friend. Ergodyne Proflex® 730 gloves are OutDry® waterproof with breathable membrane. They also offer bloodborne protection. Made with Amortex® abrasion-resistant fabric and Kevlar®, they have elastic-line fabric cinches around the wrist. In black and neon safety green/yellow. Size Large only.

Small protective goggles, for kids or anybody else with, well, a little head. (You know who you are.) They're 5" across, or 15% smaller than standard goggles. Nice quality, with a plastic lens and indirect ventilation. They meet ANSI standards for protection from flying chips and particles. Flexible, clear-vinyl body with adjustable elastic headband.

Safety Glasses-R-Us. Behold our cornucopia of safety glasses, all in variations on the classic aviator style with added side shields. Measure approx 5-1/4” to 5-3/4” across with polycarbonate lenses. You pick the black metal frames with dark lenses and shields meeting ANSI Z87.1 standards or the brown plastic frames with dark lenses and shields.

Add these heavy-duty black rubber treads wherever you need extra safety. In a raised pattern the same as diamond steel plate, each tread is 12" x 12" x 1/4" thick with a peel-off, self-adhesive back. Put ’em on stairs or in the workshop, garage, pool house, deck or shed. Cut them up and use them for vibration feet for your stereo, computer, video games and more. Get creative!

Yes, same old joke: gloves from Best® Glove Co. These Best® gloves are nitrile-coated cotton with blue elastic wrist bands. Extra-grippy and size medium. Handy in the garden or garage, a big thumbs up. Our each is a pair. Made in USA.

From the Duck Tape® people, this 10” x 4-1/4” sheet of glow-in-the-dark, peel-and-stick tape patch will suck up light and charge itself with glow-in-the-darkability in approx 30 minutes, after which it will glow in the dark for approx 3 to 4 hours. Makes your wonder, doesn’t it?

These non-fog not-really-welding goggles are just what you need to cap off your costume. Sure, the flip-up dark lenses are too dark to see through easily (that's why they have conventional clear plastic lenses underneath them), but leaving them flipped up just adds to your zany, adventurous, steampunk persona. Aesthetics include side vents and an adjustable elastic head strap. And the goggles accept standard 50mm replacement lenses, but if you think the party is going to be that rough, we suggest that it would be cheaper and easier to just buy a couple of pairs at this price-from-the-past.

And slice tomatoes, not your fingers. From Best® gloves, these D-Flex cut-resistant kitchen gloves are white with a rubber-coated palm. You pick the right hand glove in medium (ignore the surplus-driver “Extra Small” markings), or the left hand version in size L/XL. Both are approx 4-1/4” across while the right glove is 9-1/2” long fingertip to wrist, and the left glove is 9-3/4” long.

It's a threefer from Farpoint® so you can see what you're doing, where you're going and fix what you were going there for. Includes a 5” long, 350-lumen tactical flashlight with a slide focus, and (3) power levels, plus a strobe and SOS flash. Also includes a 200-lumen weatherproof utility worklight with a folding hanger and a magnetic base. And the coup de grace an 8-in-1 screwdriver/flashlight combo with slotted drivers at 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", Phillips #0, #1, #2, and mini-slotted and Phillips, all on hinges at the bottom of the light. Oh, and there’s a 6-LED light in the handle, just as a bonus.
