    Just bought this - $6 on amazon, works quite well...

    bought it because I have an open cab tractor and flailing in the summer can be blindingly dusty.

    I Imagine it works better than a simple eye wash cup. My tractor doesn't even have a cab, so since my Cataract surgeries last year I carry a squeeze bottle of artificial tears in my pocket.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Yes it does. You have to get used to it, but that didn't take more than a few tries for me...

    It also works better than cupping your hands under the faucet, my previous method.

    Same here - that is what an open cab tractor is. My only protection is what I wear and a ROPS.

    I've thought about getting a closed cab tractor, but neither of my tractors have the emissions and electronic stuff and I don't think I can justify the $$$$$ for what I do now...

    You might want to consider safety goggles that seal around the face, eg...

    With safety goggles that seal around the face I would sweat so much, that in 5 minutes I would be tossing them under the shredder

    Have thought about those, but I wear glasses and the selection of "Over Glasses Safety Goggles" is limited and I really wish they would show pictures of someone wearing them with glasses. I also have to be able to wear my respirator, and hat, and hearing protection (with radio built in)...

    I wear glasses too. Aviator style frames so not small. They fit nicely over the glasses and still seal against my face. A respirator might be a problem however.

    A respirator is far more important than eye protection at this point.
