Any recommendations out there for respirators for general d.i.y work? Sanding, paint spraying etc.
Thanks

Depending on where in Brum you are johnee, get yourself to a place that does face fit testing, and seek their advice.

I have this one too but haven’t used it yet. I’m saving it for when things get really bad and I have to go out for the weekly shop!

I’ve got the a GVS one. (Next one down on Screwfix site) Excellent, completely seals around face & easy to breathe in.
It definitely pays to always have a really good mask as well as disposable ones.

I have the same mask and it's brilliant.
Someone told me I could get cheaper filters from cpc instead of the super expensive originals with "press to check" system.
Any experience?

IS it right what I am seeing here?
The JSP force 8 mask (including 2 filters) is £23
A pair of replacement filters is £25???
So making it cheaper to just buy a new mask when they need replacing?

These are the press to check at a very good price.
I was told there are standard ones which cost less than a fiver, but i can't find them.

This one for spraying

I would have thought a visor would have been better, especially in the night when its harder to control...

Screw fix do three JSP replacement filters that will fit the JSP mask. Different quality, different price. £8.39, £24.99 and £29.98. The £23 mask comes with the £8.39 filters.
