(bought filters at time of purchase) I have the bigger model too, for painting, staining, its also great,(Safety-95090-Quicklatch) these 95090 Quicklatch filters, take the actual smell out of the air. I wear it and almost forget its on, I read the reviews about fit, and had some concerns,(7-5/8" hat) but have not had a problem, bought it 10/7/07 for hobby woodworking, and am still waiting to change the filter.
Filters are easy to replace. Testing the seal on this yields excellent results. This mask is very comfortable for long wear. Its designed so that the bottom rests just below your lip.
Highly recommended. This respirator is comfortable enough that its not a bother to wear ever for long hours in the shop. Filters are inexpensive and simple to replace, straps are easy to adjust and seal over mouth and nose is tight.
Not recommended for prescription glasses. I tried these & they pushed my prescription glasses up on my nose till I could only see through the bifocals. I ended up getting the 3M 8511 Particulate Sanding Respirator N95.
YUK skull and crossbones sticker on it. It is nothing more than the middle man between the paper mask and the full blown respirator. Know what its used for, and in what conditions. I wear a ton of dust masks around the job site. be safe. I saw this AO Saftey 95190 mask and bought it up. Here's to our good and long health
I don't plan on following in his footsteps. And your not going to want to go three hours in this thing either. Do not expect this mask to separate the real bad guys from your lungs. I've got a dust mask or respirator for everything. You can keep it a bit looser cause your only using it for sanding clean untreated, unstained, unpainted wood, RIGHT.
I have bad allergies AND if you tend to read up on the materials your using and demo-ing, you'll find that everything should have a MR. You can breath easier in it than you can, say, the AO lead mold organic vapor respirator, and the large upfront intake and duel side outflow valves have a lot to do with it. But you can wear them all day and not come home feeling like you've inhaled an entire 2'x6' x 8' of treated lumber and you can blow your nose and NOT be horrified by the brown and chunky mess in your hanky. My grandfather died from asbestos. The 3M dust masks with the little valve are great, but they don't really protect you against anything smaller than splinter sized particles (if you read the back label).
