Eli, the plain old half-mask respirators work fine for most tasks, if you’re clean-shaven and can wear them. Incidentally, that’s why Civil War era war heroes are always sporting manly beards, while by WWI, Johnny is clean-cut: The invention of nerve gas meant soldiers needed to be capable of wearing gasmasks.

I’m w/ you Myself. Sometimes I’ll be on a job where they have fake snow made from cellulose, or atmospheric smoke, or fuller’s earth, and I’ll wonder, “will I be talking through a hole in my neck someday because of this stuff?”.

What’s the battery life like? I wouldn’t mind one of these, and a full-arm-length nitrile glove, next time I have to change the transmission fluid in my Toyota. I swear that stuff is death in a bottle.

Oh wait, it’s for dust only, not chemical fumes. Well then.
