You can look into the 3M 3200 series half masks, as the replacement 3701 filters are only $6 for a pack of 10 (from aliexpress). From what I can tell they're only sold in lower income countries (i.e. China). I use them for light duty stuff, and they seem to work fine.

Need to buy a hard hat for work so I don't have to keep borrowing other people's. Price doesn't matter. Any recommendations for a comfortable brand or model? Bonus points if it has better-than-average looks.

Full brim is a pain if you work in tight quarters a lot, so just stick with the standard front brim. Also, OSHA requires your employer to provide and pay for your PPE, so if your job falls under OSHAs jurisdiction, make the boss buy it. iForge fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Oct 17, 2017 |

Decent looking deals on some Wen tools at Home Depot today. Especially the oscillating spindle/belt sander. http://www.homedepot.com/SpecialBuy/SpecialBuyOfTheDay?AID=11210757&PID=4150373&cm_mmc=CJ-_-4150373-_-11210757&cj=true

Why is it so hard to believe that 3M sells the same product for cheaper in countries that have lower wages? How much do you think filters really cost to make? By all means, pay more for your own peace of mind, but it's dumb to treat China as a giant factory that only makes lovely stuff when it's a country with different manufacturers that each have their own standards for quality.

You're taking a bit of a leap from "don't buy from a vendor where you have little reason to believe the product is legitimate" to "don't buy from China". I don't see what's wrong with wanting to buy from a verifiable vendor (which Amazon wouldn't count as, thanks to their inventory mixing)

100% of the name brand stuff on AliExpress is counterfeit. If you want to buy knockoff yeezys, go for it, but I guarantee you those 3m filters have not been tested to perform at the stated level.

I dont oppose buying the china fluke multimeter, but buying a 3M filter that *could* be genuine is not something I'd bet my respiratory system on. There is nothing wrong with chinese products, but without QA and/or some way to verify a product is real... I bought Xiaomi headphones several times, all of them were "100% real genuine", one pair was the shittiest knockoff ever. The others are great, but there was no way to know beforehand. Verifying a health and safety product to be real is a lot harder. Would you buy sterile chinese first aid supplies?

The guts of my chinese domestic market fluke meter that I bought after AvE tore it down is indistinguishable in design and quality to my genuine fluke 87. Its a few ohms off on the high end of the scale, but not too far off. I have no issues or fears using it on 480v equipment. Same process would be used for any safety device, inspect and test before use.

A fuse with the proper insulating fill and filament size is indistinguishable from a fuse full of sand and a chunk of 14 ga copper wire. One makes a loud pop, the other tears your hand off after the fault current kersplodes the whole meter.

You could replace the fuses if you are worried, anyway. I wouldn't be worried about Chinese market Flukes, but I would be worried that I'd end up buying a Fluke knockoff that my untrained eye couldn't tell apart from the real thing. I guess in the end it just takes a little research, I'm sure someone has put together an photo ID guide like there are guides to identifying fake pens, fake glasses, fake shoes, etc.

I was mostly getting at that the little fuse is the most important safety factor in plugging one of those into a 480v source. Buying peace of mind for $8 or whatever they cost to replace would make sense to me. I've read reports on too many dead electricians who trusted the '600v' rated sticker on a cheapo multimeter to not verify things. That said, those things are a killer deal, now that my 189 refuses to work anymore, I'll probably buy one for myself.

Rockwell split their tools off decades ago into Porter-Cable and Delta like 30 odd years ago. You knew that, right? So the Porter-Cable designs and patents were all Rockwell branded back in the day. Or am I talking about something else?

In regards to Ridgid, I believe the powers tools are built by TTI and the named is licensed out (AEG tools have the same colour scheme). They are also only sold at Home Depot (at least in Canada). The rest of the tools are built and owned by Emerson (and are sold all over).

 I may have been drunk when I placed this oder at Countycomm, but surprise in the mailbox today! From top, is a keyring-size knife sharpener, bonus free dildo (the blank for a 2L soda bottle) in which was packed the pen screwdriver (take off the caps, it has teensy and minute driver bits, Phillips on the far end, slot on the clip end), and a breacher bar. Hard to explain, that one. All-purpose knife/hand axe/prybar/chisel/spearhead/brick of steel?

Kobalt isn't quite right either. They were Danaher when they first came out - there's also an unconfirmed rumor some of the supply was Snap On. Now it's some company I've never heard of. (JG? JS?)
