Greatest dust mask ever!!

Post by ken cierp » Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:17 am

Finally a dust mask that is effective, comfortable and most importantly does not cause my glasses to fog up. We did not get these at a wood worker's supplier but rather through a pharmaceutical supply. You will not be disappointed -- They are a quantum improvement over the typical crushed paper things

For those that don't wear glasses - eliminating the fog-up is a big deal, it can be really annoying. To the point that I will sometimes just take off the mask and continue working. Not good.
I'm gonna check it out.

A little piece of tape over the bridge of the nose to keep the mask attached to your nose will stop the fogging issue. At least, thats what I have heard. I dont wear glasses, but I intend to try it with my safety glasses next time I wear them with a mask. I often remove the glasses which is probably more dangerous than removing the mask!

I am not going to do that, sounds like a PITA and I wear glasses -- Sorry Tony, my vote goes to a tool that is made for the job and really works, this mask has a foam seal/gasket.

I prefer my mask, doesn't fog up safety glasses and the filter cartridges are replaceable. Not sure if regular glasses would fit over it though...

Our "Binks" respirators can be worn with glasses it has a much smaller very soft mouth/nose piece then the one Brian is wearing. However its an over kill for just dust (you could take out the cartridge I suppose?) -- with a particle mask like the one above you can fold it in half and stuff it in a pocket.

I have allergies and the paper masks just don't close up enough to keep stuff out when floating around, so I use one very similar to Brian's. I have one for dust and one for spraying (different filters). It's actually pretty comfortable, at least to me.
