works great Aug 25, 2007 By vk
low price, great protection, read the assembly instruction on the back of package, the 1st thing it tell you to do is remove the blue film from [both] side, after remove the blue films the face mask get very clear view, and it wasn't hard to remove, just use nail to peel off a little piece from the side and start from there. I like it very much, it's not only protect the eyes, it protect the whole face, and I can even wear my eye glasses and Respirator in it, another thing I like is I don't have to take it off and on, all I have to do is push the mask up to have a little brake. wasn't too heavy, the ratchet head band work good to get the right size. Glad I bought this one.

what are your eyes worth? Dec 23, 2009 By PenMangler
...or your dashing good looks? I have two of these I use in my wood working shop. I used to use only safety goggles around my machines, but goggles fog up and are aggravating. So, I decided to use this faceshield for protection. Not long after this decision, I put this faceshield on my gourd and commenced to turning a bowl on my lathe. Shortly, the lathe gave up the bowl blank that was the size of a orange, while spinning at about 1600 rpm. The wooden blank and its sharp corners hit me in the face on the left cheek below my eye. It felt like a good jab from an experienced boxer...or my wife...when it hit me. You know how you stop and hold your breath waiting for the pain and suffering of an injury? Well, I stood there waiting for the blood but noticed that there was none and the impact had not even hurt. It did scratch the shield, but it did not crack. I picked up the bowl blank and finished my project.

The importance of this incident illustrates a few things: Shop safety is the real deal; if I had only had goggles, I would have had a broken cheek bone; it would have been extremely painful; and the cost of being seriously injured versus not a scratch was only 13 bucks or so. You can replace the shield since it does get scratched up, but it's about the same cost to replace the whole faceshield. It may not provide the safety you need for grinding metal, when fragements become .22 caliber projectiles, so you just wear safety glasses under the shield. But, this shield will protect your soft tissue on that mug of yours much better than a pair of goggles. Think about a piece of hardwood in the nose at about forty miles per hour!

MSA Safety Head worn face shield Feb 17, 2008 By Donn J. Shands "Tejas Medicineman"
How much is protection worth? I have seen broken grinder wheels disfigure a man's face, and chips and splinters attack me in the work shop. There are some tools where just safety glasses are not quite enough. Do your self a favor and keep one of these handy in the workshop. If even the slightest doubt, wear it. It is light weight and comfortable.

Great for weed whacking as well as shop work Dec 18, 2008 By G. Powell
Light weight, easy to wear glasses under it. A paper facemask will fit under it. What is your face worth to you? It's over a hundred dollars to walk into an emergency room before they give you a bandage. This face shield will keep those bits of flying wood chips, grass etc off your face. Wear one when using your router, grinder, table saw etc. It's not in the way at all.
