The Klein Tools Semi-Frame safety glasses combine a low-profile semi-frame with a wide wrap-around lens for ANSI Z87.1+ certified eye protection that integrates naturally with the face. The anti-fog, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens comes in clear and gray, and the line includes a value 2-pack — a lighter, lower-profile frame than the full-frame Klein 60164 for electricians and tradespeople.

Why the Klein Tools Semi-Frame stays light and low
A full frame is rugged but can feel heavy and bulky for all-day detail work. The Semi-Frame trims that — a partial frame along the top with a wide wrap-around lens, so it sits lighter and lower on the face while keeping the coverage. Anti-fog and scratch-resistance keep the lens clear and durable through trade work, and a value 2-pack makes it easy to stock a spare or kit out two workers at once. For a slim everyday Klein glass that disappears on the face, it's the pick over a heavier full frame. Our full Klein Tools Semi-Frame review rates it 4.4/5, and the safety glasses buyer's guide covers frame-profile tradeoffs.
Safety first: the Semi-Frame is impact-and-debris protection, not a sealed goggle — it is not rated against a chemical splash hazard, fine airborne dust, or vapor, which require sealed goggles or a face shield per your hazard assessment. The semi-frame removes the lower rim, not lens coverage, so protection holds — but match the tint to the light, since a gray lens indoors dims your view of hazards. Choose eyewear against measured hazards with the when-do-you-need-safety-glasses guide.
What the listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact certification; a low-profile semi-frame with a wide wrap-around lens that integrates naturally with the face; an anti-fog, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens; clear and gray tints with a 2-pack option; base model 60171. As klein tools safety glasses go, the Semi-Frame is the low-profile member — a genuine semi frame safety glasses build and a true anti fog safety glasses.
Choosing your Semi-Frame variant
Match the tint to the light: Clear from the clear-lens collection for indoor work (also in a value 2-pack), and Gray for outdoor glare — the clear-vs-smoke lens guide settles the call. Since the lens is anti-fog, the anti-fog guide and anti-fog collection cover fog control, and for shifting light an indoor/outdoor lens from another model is the versatile partner tint.
Where the Semi-Frame sits in the Klein line
The Semi-Frame is Klein's low-profile everyday glass; the Klein 60164 is the rugged full-frame outdoor option, and the Klein gasket and OTG styles cover dust-sealed and prescription-wearer needs. The best safety glasses 2026 roundup places the line against other brands like the 3M line, and the eye protection collection covers the full category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The light low-profile fit suits electrical, assembly, and detail trades — the construction, manufacturing, and mechanics guides rank frames by task, and smaller-faced wearers should check the small-face guide and women's fit guide since the semi-frame runs light. Where the hazard exceeds impact — splash, dust, vapor — step to a sealed goggle from the safety goggles collection.

Reading the Z87 marking, and what it does not cover
Protective eyewear in the US is built to ANSI/ISEA Z87.1, and OSHA 1910.133 requires eye protection that meets it. The marking on the frame is the specification, and the important distinction is a single character: Z87 is basic impact, Z87+ is high impact — tested with a quarter-inch steel ball at 150 ft/s for spectacles. If the work throws anything, Z87+ is the line.
The suffixes narrow it further: D3 is splash and droplet, D4 dust, D5 fine dust. These matter because a spectacle cannot earn D3 — droplet protection needs a sealed goggle. Safety glasses are impact protection, not chemical splash protection, however wraparound the lens looks, and substituting one for the other is a common and consequential error.
A face shield is also secondary protection under 1910.133: it is worn over primary eye protection, never instead of it. And tint is not shade — a dark lens without a stated IR/UV shade number offers no rated protection against radiant energy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Klein Tools Semi-Frame?
A safety glass that combines a low-profile semi-frame with a wide wrap-around lens for ANSI Z87.1+ certified eye protection that integrates naturally with the face. The anti-fog, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens comes in clear and gray, and the line includes a value 2-pack.
What does semi-frame mean?
A semi-frame has a partial frame - typically along the top - with the lower lens edge exposed, which drops weight and lowers the profile compared with a full frame while keeping the wide wrap-around lens for coverage.
Is it ANSI Z87.1+ rated?
Yes - the Semi-Frame carries the ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact rating (the '+' marks passing the high-velocity and high-mass impact tests), so it meets the requirement for most industrial and construction eye hazards.
Does it have anti-fog and anti-scratch?
Yes - the polycarbonate lens is both anti-fog treated and scratch-resistant, so it stays clear in humid work and holds up to the abrasion of trade and construction use.
What tints does it come in?
Clear and gray. Clear for indoor work and gray for outdoor glare, with the clear also offered in a value 2-pack for crews.
Why choose a 2-pack?
The Clear 2-pack (60171) gives you a spare or covers two workers at a lower per-pair cost - practical for crews or for keeping a backup when one pair gets scratched or lost.
How does the semi-frame compare to the Klein 60164?
The Semi-Frame is the lighter, lower-profile option with a wide wrap-around lens; the 60164 is the rugged full-frame with a gray outdoor lens. Choose the Semi-Frame for a slim everyday fit, the 60164 for outdoor ruggedness.
Is it over-the-glasses (OTG)?
No - the Semi-Frame is not an OTG frame. Prescription-glasses wearers should look at the Klein Tools over-the-glasses style instead.
Is it enough, or do I need goggles?
The Semi-Frame protects against impact and debris from the front and sides. It does not seal against a chemical splash hazard, fine dust, or vapor - those need sealed goggles or a face shield. Match the eyewear to your hazard assessment.
Does the exposed lower lens edge reduce protection?
No - the lens still meets ANSI Z87.1+; the semi-frame removes the lower plastic rim, not lens coverage. The wide wrap-around lens continues to shield the eye while the open bottom lightens the frame.
How do I care for the lens?
Rinse grit before wiping and use a microfiber or lens-safe cloth; harsh cleaners strip the anti-fog coating. Retire the lens once scratches enter your line of sight - a scratched safety lens no longer protects fully.

Comfortable and quality
I am a line man and have always used Klein products. They hod up and are not cheaply made.. the are clear lenses and have not folded up. They have a little weight to them which i feel means quality

Good price, decent glasses
They came in a mailer with the Klein box damaged but were unharmed. They fit my husband well and look nice. He liked Klein tools in his former life as a HVAC so I think he likes the name on the glasses too. They wrap around well as safety glasses. They seem to be good quality. He is happy with them

The Klein name is quality, every time!
I really appreciate a great US company such as Klein Tools. I have a tool chest full of made in the USA tools, and when it was time buy some safety glasses, I saw "Klein Tools" and I didn't hesitate. Always top quality, lightweight, very pleased with these.

Don’t stay put on your face.
These glasses are great. The anti fog works well, they are big enough to protect well. The one draw back is they don’t stay put well. If you look down and bent over to work on something the glasses will come off the nose rest and be floating against your forehead. This will vary from person to person. I don’t find that the ear pieces hold very well. If your staying upright and not welding on trailers these may work for you!

Great purchase
Glasses are very durable and have been tested but chainsawing. Very tight and airtight with the frustration of fogging up. Very pleased but the strap is an unused accessory. Would buy again.

Long lashes= not the best option
They work fine, but if you have any length to your eyelashes they hit the lens. Wearing a welding helmet makes it hard to pull it down the bridge of your nose at all and keep it there to avoid that issue
