Face Shield

I've got the one you see Norm wearing.

North KHG5001, $15.84 as shown in Grainger CAT 394. (An old CAT)

Add about 10-15% to be safe.

And as far as dust masks go, I wear these a lot, from many different
manufacturers, but all made for people leaning over an ugly cesspool of
germs and ground, powdered bone and amalgam.

At 7 cents each, there really isn't much of an excuse for not wearing
them.

Sometimes I wear 3 or 4 a day, so I buy them 200 at a time. Almost all
of those guys on Ebay have lot of those masks so just contact them and
ask for more at the same price.

If you like those, get the ones that have ear loops, and make sure they
have a wire nose clip. I have found that they are not nearly as hot as
my 3m dustmasks that I buy for the guys.

Those masks are designed to keep "germs" from leaving the mask. not sure how
effective they are at keeping dust particles from entering.
