A good friend of mine his father was a welder and told us boys buy a respirator so you don’t end up like everyone else in your 40s we said why he said because all though you may be cutting and grinding and welding all those fumes do get you and cancer will catch you

I've been using this 3m 6502QL respirator mask for about one year on my welding job, I am really happy with it, I wish I started using it at the beginning of my welding career. The filters which I buy for this mask are 3m 2138, they are awesome, they are specially designed for welding application, plus they block odours, cost really cheap, and fit under any hood. But after one year of using it I bought myself 3m speed glass 9002x welding mask with Adflo respirator system, this is much more expensive but even more convenient, I would say it is next level, especially when it is hot weather

I was undecised between those two, thanks, you deserve to have more views

My favorite negative pressure respirator is the 3m quick latch. Would recommend to all negative pressure enjoyers!

Very good video I liked it a lot more people should see this video if they want to live longer and have a healthier life especially when welding.

Awesome suggestion, thank you! I was trying to find a solution to this problem. My other respirator is huge and simply won't fit under a welding hood.

Great video mate. So many welder don’t care about lung health and we need to make it standard! I love my 7500 but have that problem of having to remove it each time to talk. A 3m Ad flo with flip up is the cadillac but it’s sooo expensive. This quick release plus a pipeliner flip up lens might be the next best thing at fraction of cost

Thank you for this! This is a great perspective for a life practice that could benefit welders in the long run. This is the info I have been looking for.

Good advice man!

Thank you!

Thanks

thank you, also just curious at the moment im going to welding school and is getting harder and harder to breath at times and im not sure if its worth getting a masks or respirator since ive been starting out..

Good video.

I’m at a job they don’t enforce wearing respirator welding masks and even given the idea but after a few days I’ve decided to buy one of my own as I’m looking out for my own safety and I can tell there’s definitely some gas fumes everytime I’d jump back between cells 1 and 2 to load and unloading and assembly parts. I don’t personal weld but we have daihen welding robots that do so I’ve already taking the liberty of buying one.

welding fumes are really over looked these days. I just got outta school and been mig welding about a year almost 2 and I wish I’d started wearing a respirator at the beginning. The crazy thing is I honestly had no clue how bad of stuff could be in this metal. Even just carbon steel has some pretty nasty stuff. Good to see somebody gettin it out there. Honestly I’d rather be bitched at to wear a respirator rather than steel toes and saftey glasses 😂

Do you know if the 2097 will protect against tig welding stainless steel vapors / fumes?

Speaking facts

Honoured to be the 420th like on this video.

3m 4255 is good?

King

Have you tried putting a bluetooth microphone inside the respirator? For sure there is a way to connect it to a small speaker that you also put on yourself. >> No more need to take off the mask for talking. Just an idea.

Hey can you please do a video on how to attach a sugar scoop or tiger hood to that kind of hard hat please

thanks for the honest review you made, now i can decide wich respirator i should buy. but i have a little bit of confusion in choosing the right filter for the respirator. which one you prefer for FCAW/SMAW welding between 2097, 2091 or 2297?

I'm about to be a Dad. Will this block odors out pretty good? 😂

Going to order this asap. So overlooked on my current job site. What are the recommended filters for SMAW 6022,7018

What filters are best to use for an welding environment,

thanku brother. i am doing alluminum. mig. spoof. can u suggest best fillter. as well. as carbon layer filter for alluminium

GVS half mask same company and model as Miller half mask fits underneath your welding hood GVS makes the Miller respirator and costs less exact same respirator 👍

Hello partner Jacob. I have an important question regarding two models, of which I do not know which is better. In terms of comfort, as you mention, which model is better for welding, the 6500QL respirator or the 7500? Thank you, and I hope you can answer my question because I don't know which of the two models to buy.

I have this respirator, its good but the only thing I don't like is that it puts an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the bridge of my nose and its to the point where its left a dark spot on my nose.. Ive been getting the small, would using a medium help with this?

What are the filters for this that can filter welding fumes?

I was literally about to reach out to you on instagram to see if you where going to make any videos any time soon. I'm loving the videos man, they are so helpful to me.

I bought this in large size but I think I should got medium. I do have Miller L/M mask which I like, not as bulky as this one.

Whats the difference between the 2297 and 2138 filters? Both are P3/P100 and have nuisance level organic vapour protection.

Does the 7500 series mask have a quick lat h release like the 6500 series?

Does this fit under the welding hood or any other masks?

I see Small, medium, & large sizes, but no sizing charts Any suggestions?

3m filter for all tig fumes? The pink do not filter one fume.

"Anyway not to inhale fumes thats gonna help you"

Even better is a PAPR

It sucks cause my job won't get these cause they don't want to go through making sure their fitted right and all the other things they have to do to be sure their used correctly.

People who "hate" safety, are just plain stupid. Don't let them influence you, keep wearing safety gear.
