Klein Tools 60171 Standard Safety Glasses, Clear Lens, 2-Pack

The Klein 60171 clear-lens safety glasses are tested to ANSI Z87.1+ (2015), CSA Z94.3 (2015), and MIL-PRF-32432A Clause 3.8.4.1 (Class 1 ballistics fragmentation). The plus designation on Z87.1 is the high-impact rating, so they satisfy a site rule calling for Z87+ eye protection, and the CSA listing covers Canadian jobsites too.

No. The 60171 does not provide accidental arc protection and has no IR absorption, so it is not the right eyewear for arc flash or for hot work like cutting, brazing, or furnace viewing. Use it as impact and UV protection; pair it with a properly rated arc flash face shield or an IR-filter shade lens when the task calls for those.

UV coverage is there: the lens is tested to the ANSI Z87.1 U6 standard and blocks 99.9 percent of harmful UV. But the lens is clear, not tinted, so it does nothing to cut glare or brightness. Clear is the right choice for indoor work, low light, and work under sun where you still need full light transmission; if crews are squinting in open sun, buy a tinted lens instead.

The 60171 uses an anti-fog coating that Klein states works even with dust masks and is a durable coating that won't wear off, rather than a wipe-on treatment that disappears after a few cleanings. That matters for drywall sanding, demo, and mechanical room work where a mask is on all day.

Each 60171 is a 2-pack of clear-lens standard safety glasses, which makes it an easy per-person issue item or a restock unit for a gang box or MRO shelf. Every pair in the pack carries the same Z87.1+ impact rating and clear polycarbonate lens, so there is no sorting to do at handout.

Overall dimensions are 6.5 inches long (16.5 cm), 5.8 inches wide (14.7 cm), and 1.8 inches high (4.6 cm), with a low-profile narrow lens and a wrap-around shape. The nylon semi-frame with rubber nose piece and temple tips flexes to the face, and at 2.8 oz (78 g) they are light enough for all-day wear. The narrow lens height suits smaller and medium faces better than a large-coverage goggle style.

Two Klein accessories fit them and are sold separately: a breakaway lanyard, Cat. No. 60177, for keeping glasses on the neck between tasks, and a hard case, Cat. No. 60176, to protect the lens coating in a tool bag. Neither ships with the 2-pack, so add them to the order if your crew needs them.

Yes. The 60171 is rated for an operating environment of -16 to 123 degrees F (-26 to 50 degrees C), which covers freezer rooms, unheated warehouses, and hot roof or mechanical spaces.

No. The 60171 is built for true color recognition, and the clear polycarbonate lens is tested for minimal distortion. Conductor colors, panel labels, and terminal markings read the same as with the naked eye, which is why it is a common pick for electrical work.

The lens is polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant treatment, so it holds up better than untreated plastic on a demanding site. Loose in a pouch with screwdrivers and fish tape it will still pick up marks; the matching Klein hard case, Cat. No. 60176, is the fix and is ordered separately.

Frames are black with orange accents and the lens is clear. The black/orange scheme is distinct enough to identify company-issued eyewear at a glance if you also stock a different Klein lens tint or frame for other crews.
