You and your wallet can both breathe easier

Air Stealth Lite Pro half-mask respirator, no. STE/LP/ML, $10

I make every effort possible to prevent breathing dust in my shop, including using direct and ambient dust-collection machines. And now I also wear this Trend respirator. The Air Stealth Lite Pro adjusts to fit snugly over my nose and mouth, with a cushiony rubber gasket that seals against my face to prevent dust from getting in. I found I could breathe easily through the replaceabl­e filter without fogging up my safety glasses, thanks to the one-way valve that exhausts the air down and away from my face. After a day’s use, I saw no evidence of dust having penetrated the filter. So it works perfectly, fits comfortabl­y, and costs very little. (Replacemen­t filters sell in a 5-pack [no. STE/LP/ML/5] for $40.) What more could you want?
