Benchmark Abrasives Grinding Hood

The hood itself is fine but somewhat restricting of your view. The lens scratches easily and it seems the only place you can purchase new ones is directly thru Benchmark at $18 plus $10 shipping. Ill use it up then buy one that you can get lens replacements at a reasonable price.

I learned the hard way that you should always use a face shield when grinding. And, if your safety glasses are scratched and foggy, it is time to get new ones. This face shield is big, but provides full face protection while ensuring your vision of your workspace and your hearing is not compromised. And, there is plenty of room under the hood for ear muffs if you are working in a loud environment. The face shield is ANSI CSS Z87+ complaint (which my employer requires) and provides an excellent field of view in to your workspace. The hood is comfortable and easy to wear. It is easily adjustable to fit your head comfortably. And, I was surprised just how affordable full face protection can be. I definitely recommend this. Protect your face and eyes!!!!!

I dont do gimmicks. I bought this to test to see if it works with a half face respirator. I do biohazard cleanup and I wear glasses. I cant wear glasses with a full face respirator because the facial seal fails because of the glasses. I saw this hood and bought it because it allows for a half face respirator which means I can wear glasses UNDER this hood. So I put this hood through its paces and dang if it doesnt work! Sure, it works for grinding and close in metal working but it allows me to do my bio job with my glasses. All my staff will have these in their kit bag.

I am very pleased with the protection this grinding helmet provides. It has an adjustable head strap so it will stay secured and in place. You do not feel claustrophobic while wearing it, yet your full face and eyes are protected while grinding. It easily slides up and out of the way when you need to take a closer look at your grinding project. There are no more worries about sparks hitting your face. I like the security that it provides and feel it is well worth the investment.

Fits nicely and works great
