3M Face Shield (1 Pack)

Very comfortable & safe!

I don't know why it took me so long to get this! This is SO much more convenient than dealing with safety glasses, and offers way more protection. I find this most useful when using a dremel with a cutoff wheel, as I was tired of getting hit with debris in the face. But I use this with pretty much any tool--dremel, saw, snips, drill. It's very comfortable and easy to flip up and down. And you have a much better field of vision than goggles/glasses. (Also nice and easy to wear sunglasses underneath when working outside.) It's a tad heavier that wearing safety glasses of course, but you get used to it. Lighter than a welding mask, for example. In fact, sometimes i forget I'm wearing it when i need to scratch my nose.

Weedwacking is more dangerous than it seems. I've had small rocks, tree bark, dog poop and frog parts splatter across my face. I learned quickly to keep my mouth shut but safety glasses were only protecting my eyes. Besides that, they had a tendency to fog up. For 12 bucks I figured I'd try a full face shield and I'm glad I did. This doesn't fog up and protects most of my face without getting too much in my way. When I stop to take a short break, I can pivot the shield up. It stays on my head nicely and the strap hasn't come undone like I feared it would after a while. I've been using it for weedwacking and chainsawing for two months and think it will at least last through summer. And it doesn't look too dorky...no more than safety goggles...but I'd rather use this than be a cool one eyed weed wacker with frog guts up his nose.

I got this for protection while I am using my gas-powered Stihl string trimmers, which I use a lot for trimming rough grass, weedy areas, and small brush on my property. These powerful trimmers tend to throw a lot of little bits of stuff in all directions, despite being shielded. Until I got this face shield, I had been using various clear plastic safety glasses or goggles for protecting my eyes, but there were 2 problems with them: - On hot days, they would often fog up from perspiration and obscure my vision. - They only protected my eyes - the most precious part of my face - but did nothing for the rest of my face, which would often be struck by various particles that would sting and/or make my face dirty So I tried one of these, and it was an enormous improvement over glasses or goggles. I could see much more clearly, I got less hot, and it protected my whole face from the impact of high-velocity trimmings. Plus I got to look like David McCallum on NCIS. I made one other related improvement to my protection: I used to wear protective ear muffs, but hated their bulk and heat retention. So now I am using 3M Peltor Tri-Flange Ear Plugs, Green, 3-Pack , which I also use for lots of other stuff. I have purchased a whole bunch of these, most recently in the 21 pack.

GOOD.

I'm notoriously cautious when working with caustic and biological fluids, but no matter how careful you are sometimes a little splatter is bound to come your way. With this professional faceshield on, I can finish my "work", slip it into a extra-large Hefty bag with my other "keep" supplies, and be in and out in a matter of minutes. Plus the ability to flip it up lets me examine my work unimpeded, and if I have to do a touch-up it's just a matter of flipping it back down again. It's been a phenomenal time-saver in a line of work where efficiency is literally a matter of life-and-death. However, I've found that the 1/2" adjustment increments mean I can either have a secure faceshield and a migraine, or a comfortable if tenuous faceshield and a stress headache - if it had a buckle instead of the hole-based headband, it would've earned two more stars. You get what you pay for, I suppose. Also, combined with my Ansell 56-512 Chemical Resistant Black Hycar Nitrile Lab Apron with Cotton Backing, 35" X 45" , I can pull off a hell of a Dexter costume at a moment's notice.

Produto sem qualidade. estou usando há uma semana e amassou o visor somente por lavá-lo. fita de prender arrebentou uma parte somente com manuseio, e estou usando a uma semana , que dirá daqui ha'1 mês. produto totalmente diferente do anunciado. duvido que seja da 3M. fiquei muito insatisfeito com a compra e se pudesse trocaria por outra coisa. Cordialmente BH

Great faceshield! It's got plenty of adjustability and great over the top protection. Unlike cheaper models, this one doesn't fog up while wearing an N95 mask.

I found this works excellent and worth the money, not like the other face shields that are on the market.

As others have stated, this is an AO branded face shield. The shield (lens?) itself and part of the headband are branded as 3M. Overall the shield seems to be a quality product. The biggest issue I have with the product is that it does not fit me perfectly. When I have adjusted it as well as I can, the strap that goes around my head (as opposed to the one that goes on top) is tight on the bottom of the strap, but remains a bit loose on top. I would prefer it to be a bit tapered. I don't know if this would be a problem for many, as some hats also do not fit me well.

Use this when using the hand grinder, or wire wheel or cutting. Save your eyes, and get yourself one of these, its worth the investment for your health. Also use when sanding wood along with a mask, work brilliantly.
