After reading some of the close calls on this forum, I'm thinking about face shields, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Uvex-S8510-Po...ardcoat/dp/B001VY3ACE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_indust_2 .
The protection afforded sounds good, yet I suspect there still may be fogging (despite the claim to the contrary); it might be hot to wear; the clear visibility may not be as claimed; it's still recommended that safety glasses should be worn under the face shield; and would they scratch up or discolor with time. Although I don't do any turning, other tools can provide their own unique dangers, so I view this shield as a shop safety device...if it is as good as claimed.
So, who wears a face shield for routine shop work and which brand do you recommend?
