****ed if I know why you would want to use one of these in a dishwasher
All the dishwashers I have seen, have been too small for anyone to fit
through the little door, whether they are wearing a face shield or not.
Are you going to climb in to check whether the washer is doing a proper job?
Why don't you get your wife to do the job she was designed to do?,
do the dishes and then you can stand behind her watching her every move
And all this without having to buy a dishwasher and climb inside to check on
its progress

Absolutely. I haven't worn goggles in the shop for about fifteen years now;
instead, I use one of these:

Replacement windows are available at Do-It-Best hardware stores for about half
the cost of the complete unit. In Indianapolis, Bill, that's Sullivan
Hardware.

If you do a Google Groups search on this newsgroup for "faceshield" you'll
find numerous posts where I've said "there are other things on your face worth
protecting besides your eyes."

And they come in handy even when you wouldn't necessarily expect it -- who'd a
thunk that a *bandsaw* would eject a small cutoff backward at high speed? A
few years ago, I was cutting a notch out of the corner of a piece of red oak
when suddenly PING! the waste piece (about a 1cm cube) bounced off the
faceshield right in front of my nose.

I wear one, but not as spendy as that. Mine is like this:

http://www.amazon.com/AO-Safety-9002...7063657&sr=1-3

and it has saved my noggin a couple times. I have a couple of them so that I
can have a visitor wear one. All my hits have been off the lathe, but I wear
it for any power tool use.

I do have one handy in the shop in case the task at hand waves a huge
red flag, which is not often enough.

I should use it more ... although safety glasses are used often, the
face shield, a light one, is simply too awkward and hot in this climate
for it to become the habit it should be.

Ki9nda like Swingman indicated, depending on the climate it might be way too
uncomfortable to wear all the time. I don't like any thing fogging up in
fromt of me and or cupped around my face.

BUT the one you are looking at certainly is not cost prohibitive and you
will not be out much in the event you find it too restrictive or
uncomfortable of full time use and or have available for those times that
comfort is trumped by safety. I'd go for it.

HOWEVER concerning cleaning in the dishwasher, that might not be a good
idea. Most dishwasher detergents are abrasive and could cloud the shield.
And the heat could melt it if not dishwasher safe. ;~)

Read the customer revies closely.

I shopped around for faceshields like those. I read quite a few
customer reviews and one thing came up over and over: for one of the
models that enclosed the face (forget which one) the plastic stinks to
the point that the users couldn't wear them. It might dissipate with
time.

Two comments:

1) Get something with easily replaceable shields, and get several
spares. That way when the change the design in a few years you don't
find out the new shields won't fit. DAMHIKT

2) I used to buy Uvex safety glasses with the anti-fog coating. The
coating works great for a while, and then it gets cloudy. Eventually,
it's worse than looking through fog. At least for safety glasses, they
expect you to trash them before the coating gets too bad. They may have
improved the coating since I had problems, but I would never buy a Uvex
product with that coating on it. Instead, I get glasses with the scratch
resistant coating, and they last a LOT longer. However, fogging is going
to be much more of an issue with a full face shield like the one shown.
I use much simpler ones like others have linked to, and they are open
enough that fog usually isn't an issue.

Maybe you could wear one of those chainsaw helmet/earmuff/faceshield
units - no fogging problem with the mesh. And some even have a
plastic area over the eyes. We have a couple full plastic shields in
the shop that get used pretty regularly - especially when wire-
brushing.

It sounded suspicious to me from the get-go ("inflation" and "deflation" as
economic terms), so I took a moment to do a search. There is a legitimate
Jefferson quotation on a similar theme¹ but somebody has taken the time to
jazz it up and pass if off as the real thing. There is an issue of
rhetorical credibility here; whoever first created (actually forged) the
quotation is not someone I'd trust from then on, I'd always be wondering
what else they're not being honest about. These days accepting almost any
quotation one sees online at face value seems to be a risky business.

¹ "And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more
dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to
be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity
on a large scale."

There is nothing wrong with online research provided you are cautious and
thorough. Many people stop at one source, particularly if it tells them
what they want to hear, and that's risky. But it was risky when the library
was the only place to do research too; two history books might give very
different versions of the same events. However it is true that the internet
gives a worldwide voice to fools and liars, any clown with net access can
post nonsense that somebody else will believe.
