Good review, highly recommend one of these if you can spare the money, amazingly comfortable, makes me want to put it on and just do whatever I plan to do as its so comfortable, great product but yea pricy, but I hear lungs and eyes run fairly high as well :)

@Robpearceknives Год назад

RU-vid was listening and this was in my recommended feed this morning. My wife and I were talking about this system yesterday. One part of the conversation brought out the 12 year old in me. The location of the air pump and likelihood of a dutch oven. I think that would be the second largest drawback aside from cost. Overcoming both of those, I think it’s probably the best system out there for knifemakers.

@RedBeardOps Год назад

Lol, I can confirm... that is a draw back! It's instant

@GlennLaguna 11 месяцев назад

They have a backpack version. Puts the unit between your shoulder blades.

@1promartin 2 года назад

I use the 3M Versaflo since 3 years and it works great! The problem with the expensive batteries i fixt with an 18V to 12V converter witch i but in the frame of the old battery and now i use the batteries of my rechargeable drill. There are great tutorials here on youtube. This is not for dangerous or explosive zones but for me as hobby knife-maker it works fine. But there is one big problem with the Versaflow!!! Every fart you let, gets pumped directly in your nose. So don't eat to much Chilli bevor working with the Versaflo. ;-)

acrylic or silicone mouth piece might become handy, like the oxygen mask plus small fan maybe?

@BecksArmory 2 года назад

That does look comfortable and having air blowing on your face would feel nice when it's hot. I've seen a lot of positive reviews on these.

@RedBeardOps 2 года назад

Guess it depends on how much grinding one is doing... I'm a fan of it

Every once and a while I'll take em out and use the shop vac. This extends the life. At some point you'll have to buy a new one.

@whipzpaintlyfewithjay9654 Год назад

Great info!! I’m looking for clean air hood for painting, but I’m not sure which route to go or if this is good for my particular end of work

@RedBeardOps Год назад

Honestly me either! I know 3M makes some specific hoods for that appliation.

@georgiaradic6524 Год назад

thanks for the review. I have trouble with my glasses fogging up when I wear a regular face shield or welding helmet. Do you think the air flow in the versaflow would be enough to prevent this under most conditions?

I haven't had this thing fogg once yet!

Awesome gear. I'm stuck in face mask and face shield hell. My first car at 16 was 500 bucks. Now making one with a drill battery for the air filter would be cool. (read nightmare )

@RedBeardOps Год назад

That would be cool

@NelsonJ1 Год назад

Thanks for the review. Is this just a good option for people with beards? How would this option be better than just a $100 full face shield 3M respirator if you don't have a beard? Those have a compression fit on your face so nothing can get in. Seems like dust would still be able to get in with the versaflow. Thoughts?

@RedBeardOps Год назад

Without a beard, I'm not sure. The air supply keeps positive pressure on the mask, so I don't think any dust will be getting in.

@NelsonJ1 Год назад

@@RedBeardOps ok, thanks. I'm building a dedicated grinding room and I think I'm going to stick with the regular 3M full mask and focus more on the actual dust collection system.

I have to wear one of these for work, starting next week. Is it heavy?

@RedBeardOps 16 дней назад

Takes a little getting used to, but really isn't that bad. I've worn it for hours without issue

@Gordon_L Месяц назад

Can the battery pack be worn or moved away from the lower back so the operator can be seated and driving machinery ? The hose did not seem to be very long . Cheers .

@RedBeardOps Месяц назад

I sit down with it all the time but generally on a stool with no back. You could wear it on the side in the 3 o'clock position or maybe in the 9 o'clock position depending on what side is more comfortable.

@Gordon_L Месяц назад

@@RedBeardOps Cheers , thanks for that , these are on my short list , a pity DeWalt or Milwaukee don't make these in their 18/20v range , would have suited me perfectly 🙂

This thing looks pretty nice. Man I recently thought could get away with not wearing a respirator while grinding micarta because I was outside. I was wrong. My nose has bee messed up, and I've felt like I've had the flu since then. I wont try something like that again. Not fun.

@RedBeardOps 2 года назад

Man, a lot of this stuff really sucks to beaths... some people have pretty bad reactions to certain types of woods as well.

@_BLANK_BLANK 2 года назад

@@RedBeardOps yeah. I knew I shouldn't have risked it, but I was lazy and didnt feel like going back in to get my respirator. This will be a lesson I wont soon forget. Thankfully I wasn't grinding carbon fiber or something.

@Ostsol 10 месяцев назад

Due to the ongoing wildfires and resulting particulate in the air, I was looking into something this so I could go outside and bike for hours without breathing all that crap into my lungs. It'd be nice to have a good, clean air supply with better flow than is provided by normal respirators. I was thinking that maybe I could just plug the air supply unit into a normal respirator face mask. It's mostly just an idle thought and I'll probably just wait until the air clears up - especially now that I know how much the good units cost!

@RedBeardOps 10 месяцев назад

They aren't cheap! That's for sure

@Ostsol 10 месяцев назад

@@RedBeardOps Definitely worth it for your work, though. I've already spent more than enough on my hobby with a new bike, this year. 😅

@michaelhall3485 Месяц назад

Those PAPR's are comfortable. My company is soon launching MicroClimate Air3, should be more accessible to the hobbyist. The design uses a monocoque manifold design, it should end up 1/2 the price of 3M. Can we share one with you to compare when we get certification?

@xxburichxx 6 месяцев назад

Can you use this unpowered?

@RedBeardOps 6 месяцев назад

It would get pretty hot and foggy I think. Would be less effective too since it relies on creating positive pressure in the fac shield; not a perfect seal.

The battery chargers are 300 aus. They have a spring that builds up resistanceon the positive and prevents charging. Absolute junk. You can destroy a new one and salvage 4 new springs to fix others

You're talking about the battery charger for the 3M Versaflow? I haven't had issues with mine yet, but that's good to know
