Great woodworking dust mask

I've tried at least 8 different masks. This is hands down the best. It is comfortable, the two straps provide a tight seal so dust does not leak in through the sides. Best part, no "hacking cough" after using with 220 grit power hand sander.

Unlike other reviews, I've never had a strap break, even after using hundreds of this mask.

You can tell it is working because it get dirty, unlike other masks that stay clean. In other words, all the dirt is stuff that would have gone into your lungs!

The lesser of all evils

I can't say I love wearing anything on my face, but these are my mask of choice unless the job requires a full blown respirator.

Pros: The metal strip is strong enough to keep it's shape and obviously maleable enough to shape it in the first place. The straps are strong and secure without being too tight.

Cons: Apart from wearing one at all, I have no problems with it. I've had a few straps come off in past years, but not lately. If you encounter this problem, stretch the rubber before putting in on your face the first time.

I've used others and am reminded of what 3M has to offer... especially compared to AOSafety products...

Good Product

I think these are well made. I have no problem with the straps of which there are two. The two straps add to the tightness of the fit which is importand for these be of any help in keeping out the dust. There is also a foam pad on the inside of the nose bridge which adds to the comfort level.
I am cutting cement board in the hot sun and would rather use this style of mask as opposed to a full respirator.
