Thread: Which respirator to use?

As mentioned, test fit them.

I use this one from Home Depot...

AO Safety Professional Multi-Purpose Respirator - 95050-80025 at The Home Depot

What is not pictured are the straps. There are 2. 1 is like a dual strap that straddles the top of your head and the 2nd goes around the back of the neck to pull the mask inward to help maintain the seal on the face mask.

+1 for a 3m $30 respirator. I've used mine for floor refinishing and also for mold killing with a heavy bleach solution and the thing has saved my lungs. Always a smart idea to invest in safety equipment.

I would like to thank all who gave input; Glen, Steve, Benjamin, janivar123, ZMKA, Brad, aragornelessar86, logistics and Claytor. I have decided on the North 770030 Medium Silicone Half Mask Respirator. Glen I also got 10 extra N95 Filters. I chose this one because after putting in this post I found out my Brother-in-Law had this same mask. I tried it on and it sealed well and actually felt pretty good on my head. Now hopefully this continuous hacking will cease! Thanks again!

let me flip through the respitory protection here at the shop and i can find you a good one.. is it the dust your worried about or are you trying to stop any vapors from chemicals as well? right now im using a half mask for dumping activated charcoal, alum, and lime its a 3M 6200DD and when i was using a full face and a half mask for fuel tanks ill have to look them up and see what they were but the 6200DD works really well and its a simple design


never mind you found a really nice half mask
