I've been doing drywall and taping for over 4 years now and have been using this product the whole time. This is by far the best reusable dust respirator out there, especially compared to the paper disposable masks that do nothing but lets in dust or whatever else your working on. For some reason they have decided to stop producing this and have taken them out from all retail stores. I guess now since 3M bought them out or whatever the hell happened, they have completely yanked the rug out of a quality product and now giving us crap. Way to go guys, way to ruin a perfectly awesome product.

Lightweight and easy to wear for long sessions working in the shop. Remember to order extra filters to have on hand.

These filters are perfect for sanding wood, cutting drywall, sweeping up dust, shaking out rugs etc. They fit the wonderful respirator perfectly and are easy to breath through yet effective at eliminating dust. The only problem is that they and the actual respirators are MIA.

They can no longer be found anywhere. Why? Why do companys continually do this to people these days? They produce a product that works fine and is fairly priced and then as soon as people get used to it and start to count on it, they either change it or discontinue it! This is maddening. Now they are starting to call the simple dust filters with the elastic band respirators and people are buying them for the same price this used to be. Wake up people! contact AO and tell them you want it to stop.

This is really a review of the mask these filters go in. The mask is very comfortable for long periods of time. Even when letting hang around your neck. Far superior to a cheap white dust mask. My safety glasses do no fog up when I wear this.

See my review of the Respirator. Bottom line I liked the respirator and the filters.

When I started woodworking I used to get those cheap dust masks. They never tend to create a good seal around your face and they are uncomfortable. I decided to invest in a nice reusable mask which uses these filters. The filters are great at stopping dust from woodworking. You can definitely see all the dust the filter has stopped on the external side of the mask. Make sure you always keep some of these in stock. I place new filters inside a zip-lock bag to protect them from getting dust.

Eventually you will need replacement filters for your Woodworker's Respirator. When you order your respirator, add this 4 pack in with the order. You will be glad you have the spares. Never sand or router without a respirator! PVC dust, and bamboo dust are about as bad as asbestos. Some wood dust is highly allergetic, or will build up toxicity in the system that may not hit you for days after. Be safe. Change filters often.

Installed correctly they work like a charm. If you don't put them in right though, they can make it very difficult to breathe. I have severe allergies and purchased these as an alternative to the paper masks. They work great and no sneezing when I mow the yard. That alone makes these a worthy purchase to me.

I go through a number of filters so I don't get paint, sawdust, dust, etc. into my lungs. These work very well and are easy to replace. What more could I want?

The mask seemed a little small at first, as I have used painters masks with carbon filters in the past. After I got used to the fit it was great! Wore it while demolishing drywall and removing insulation. Filter lasted more than a week. Mask seals to the face really well. Keep in mind this is intended for dust only, not fumes.
