Tools and Hardware Reviews of AO Safety/3M Tekk 95190 Woodworker's Respirator
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this mask to do electrical work in the attic and am not disappointed. The price was great and it worked perfectly to filter out the fiberglass dust, no more hacking and coughing. Wore the mask for about 2 hours while I was rewiring and found it to be very comfortable. I would definatley recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensieve particle mask.Customer Review: I like it
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this a couple of months ago and have had a chance to use it several times. The first time I put it on I was a little apprehensive about the way it fit, but I did get used to the fit pretty quickly. It is a little strange to have the bottom sitting on your chin and not under it, but the mask seals fine for me. I would guess that if you have a long face, the mask may not work, but it fits my face fine. If fact- I don't even notice how it fits anymore.
It seals, keeps the dust out and keeps my safety glasses from fogging up. The only complaint (and it's minor) I have is that I've has some condensation issues, but that's probably due to the cold temps in the garage when I'm working. Besides- a damp mask is much better than brown lung.
I'll never go back to the safety masks again.
Customer Review: I'd Buy it Again
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this respirator in my hobbyist woodshop for several months, and have been very pleased with the fit, comfort, airflow, and effectiveness. I find that I'll wear it for a dusty operation (such as hand-sanding with no dust collection), then forget to take it off as I do other things around the shop. It's that comfortable to me. When you change the filter cartridge -- an economical process -- you'll be amazed at the gunk you've kept out of your lungs. Of course no rubber mask can be built that will fit EVERY face out there, but based on the feedback I've seen, it looks like it fits most folks.Customer Review: Inexpensive safety product
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this respirator at the peak of the H1N1 Swine flu scare. The filter included in this respirator is a NIOSH certified N95 filter, which is the recommended standard used by health care professionals. The dust masks that people tend to wear to ward off virus are virtually useless at preventing disease, other than to stop you from putting your hands near your mouth or nose. This is an inexpensive option to actually provide some protection, if you are so inclined.
I am also a handy man and have used it in the garage while doing some cutting/sanding projects. I find that it fills with dust very quickly, but this is encouraging as the filter is clearly doing its job. I also have a twin cartridge 95115 respirator from AO Safety, which I prefer when working around the garage, as it has two filters, and therefore clogs a little less quickly.
Customer Review: It Protects My Lungs
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a woodworker and have a lung disease called COPD. I have tried those silly paper masks, the more expensive 3M masks and full-face North Lunar masks. The issue I face has to do with inhaling. I only inhale 30% of a normal lung capacity, so other masks cut off my oxygen supply completely. (Not so good if you really enjoy breathing.)
This mask is light-weight, doesn't fog my eye glasses and, believe it or not, I am able to breath without any restrictions. It must be the large air intake in the front of the mask.
I also bought the Dewalt DPG54-1C Protector Clear High Performance Lightweight Protective Safety Glasses with Wraparound Frame. These work great with this mask AND fit over my prescription eye glasses with no problem.
