Trend Airshield Pro Battery Powered Full Face Shield For Woodworking | Battery Powered Air Circulation Helps Protect Against Dust And Debris During Woodworking, AIR/PRO

First off lets be clear about this - when Trend say this is a 'Pro' item they may be stretching the point a little because heavy duty does not immediately spring to mind here and I would imagine that abuse will quickly render this item DOA. Materials and construction are nothing better than okay with a slightly irritating headband adjuster that seems to need resetting each time I use the mask. Battery life is enough for a days on and off use and it will charge overnight fine. The battery is not a LiOn one as far as I can tell so will have a memory and won't last for years. It is designed to fit this mask specifically so not sure what I'll do when it dies but as an electro-mechanical engineer I'll sort something out. This all sounds a bit negative - which it is - however the mask regains it's five star rating because it works and as long as I continue to treat it with respect I don't expect it to get broken. Anyway, as I said it works. When fitted it is comfortable despite being fairly weighty and the face seal works easily and well. In use the air supply is plentiful and working in full blast of a router and my saw bench was in no way difficult with as far as I could tell zero dust and a clear view of my work. In the end this mask does what it is supposed to do and that is to protect my lungs and eyes better than any other mask I've used. For that I can forgive the slight niggles.

This product is as described. I've been using it for woodworking purposes for some weeks now and it performs well. It is a little heavy on the head, but the amount of dust it stops being inhaled is amazing. Battery life is as described and easily lasts a day of hard work! One observation is that when working in cold conditions, the air being blown across the face is very cool! I had to stop after 30 mins on a particularly cold day and let my face warm up! However this is not a fault of the mask, just the UK weather. Overall, build quality is good, and as long as it is looked after, should last a long while.

This works well but can get tiring if your wearing it for a long time. Its great if you wear glasses as they don't get fogged up like some of the half face face masks. I'm surprised that they haven't updated the battery pack from nickle hydride to lithium in the five years since I bought it considering the price has nearly doubled from £190 to £367.

Excellent, good price.

Wasn't for me but no complaints

I wear this in my workshop when sanding and woodturning. I find it brilliant as I wear glasses that usually steam up with normal mouth/nose masks. Yes, there is some noise from the fan on your head but I find the sander makes more of a din! The ventilator protects my lungs and eyes and I find the air flow across my face quite comforting. The battery last ages, I haven't managed to run it out yet. I consider this to be a good investment.

It's not working. I charged the battery for 15 hours first time but still not wokring. It's working onlynid it's in charge. It's seems the battery have a defect. Immagine pay nearly 400 pound for something that it's usless because it's not working. Also the qualità is really bad, looks like cheap plastic.

I have toyed for a long time , about buying an Airpro Mask . I recently turned a bowl from Amoroko which was dusty when sanding. I decided to buy the Airpro to see if it made a difference. It really does make it difference, a cool stream of air across your face, makes it very pleasant to wear. It is not cheap, but I do believe it stops me breathing in wood dust, so it is worth the cost.

While all sawdust is nasty and to be avoided, I work with a particularly carcinogenic Tasmanian timber, so good protection is essential. I have used the more expensive 3M respirators and there is no doubt they are excellent. But as a hobbyist, I had to find something more affordable. This respirator is excellent value for money. I don't know if it would compare to the 3M models if I was using it all day every day, but I sometimes will use mine several times a week while I'm working on a project and then it will sit idle for a couple of months as I have to go do a "real" job. It holds its charge very well and does everything it is supposed to, to a high standard. I have a beard and the respirator seals without a problem.

Dopo anni,mi sono deciso ad acquistare questo casco con ventilazione filtrata,devo dire che è una bomba,dalla durata della batteria alla capacità filtrante è veramente fenomenale,io ho la barba e quindi con le classiche maschere ero sempre lì ad aggiustare e grattare,con questo ho risolto tutti i problemi,pensavo fosse molto pesante e invece una volta indossato risulta ben bilanciato e leggero tutto sommato,altra nota positiva è che non si appanna assolutamente lo schermo e quindi non si crea condensa all’interno!io lo uso mentre tornisco il legno e nella fase di levigatura ed è veramente performante,lo consiglio a tutti quelli che lavorano il legno e utilizzano attrezzature che producono polveri sottili.

Va genial para los tractores sin cabina

For me, the main reason to buy it was to improve air quality during woodworking including sanding. It works fine. I was looking for a light helmet style to include a face shield allowing the use of reading glasses and ears protection. It is both. This device works with the aid of a small battery powered fan, the noise of the fan alone demands the use of some ears protection. There is a set made specifically for this helmet and I bought them too. It takes a time to get used to the extra weight and size of your new head , particularly if your workshop is small and crowded. There are a couple of almost cosmetic things that I do not like: 1) The acrylic face shield came with a protective plastic film glued to it, still I have not find what solvent need to be used to remove the remainings of glue. I tried soap, alcohol, W40, oil. 2) The head enclosure is sealed with a flexible plastic/vinyl to seal around your mouth and sides; I found this material kind of light, not sure how long will last the frequent pulling and tearing. The batteries charge last for about 6-8 hours of use; the charger is included. I leave it to recharge overnight, for more frequent use probably a quick replacement battery pack would be a good option. I hope this helps.

Comentar que la máscara incluye los dos filtros de aire necesarios para su funcionamiento (que en la descripción del producto no lo dice), y también la batería necesaria. Lo malo es que el cargador para la batería trae el enchufe británico UK, no el europeo/español. No es problema porque compré un adaptador de 1 euro y funciona correctamente.
