Given the lack of stock and price jacking, this is a great price for an available full face mask.
Supplied and sold by Amazon Commercial AU - Max 2 per person.

Bunnings, who tell me that they haven’t jacked prices, are selling it for $289 (if you can find any in stock).
There were some available at Bunnings Port Melbourne today and I was able to use their price beat to bring it down to $198.37.
Box Hill in VIC are showing stock available - Check the current levels near you at: https://www.bunnings.com.au/3m-full-face-paint-project-reusa…

There are limited cartridges and filters around that haven't been price jacked, but try Sydney tools or RSEA for stores in stock or for bulk buys try RS Online.

    Actually they are different.

    This is the 3M 68P71 so unsure - it does seem to be a P2 respirator. I would expect a full face to be a P3

    • mini2 on 07/04/2020 - 08:43

      Based on the cartridge from what I've read to make a full face to be P3 rated.

        For maximum effect, combine with diving air tanks.

        You can buy air hose kit to convert the mask's filters to compressed or otherwise piped air for <$100. They're very effective.

        Ideal for bushfires, working in fumeous environments, cleaning out septic tanks, and all kinds of other jobs around the house.

    Good to cleaning the toilet at home. Suspect it filters out odd smell too.

    Serious, people, do not buy unless you actually need it.

    In my recent visits to grocery run, I saw numerous gloves been dumped at the carpark… gloves wont do any justice, just wash hands often!

    • PainToad on 07/04/2020 - 08:56

      gloves wont do any justice, just wash hands often!

      So you don't wear gloves, you get back to your car, no where to wash your hands, so you get in your car and touch everything to drive home. You get home and touch your keys, you touch the doors…and then you finally get to the bathroom and wash your hands. Then you go back to your car to get the groceries (which are still contaminated because you and the person at the register touched them before washing your hands). Your hands are now dirty again.

      Gloves wouldn't be needed if we had backpack sinks and soap - but we don't.

      The only reasons the government is telling people they don't need masks and gloves is because there's a shortage and they don't want a panic.

        People tend to use it incorrectly.

        To what you have commented, it will be no different to touching wallet/phone/shopping bag/items bought… the list goes on.

        Supply is one thing. Not disposing the rubbish (used gloves) is another.

        And whether gloves effective is also a separate topic.

        Personally annoyed at used gloves getting dumped all over the carpark.

        Also annoyed at people being OTT with it all.

      • Fraggler on 07/04/2020 - 19:53

        You're touching all of the groceries and the carry bags with your gloves anyway so they are contaminated whether you have gloves on or not. Are you going to sterilise each item as you take it out of the bag?

      Was at Prince Of Wales the other day (IT worker installing systems for the hospitals) and they had checkpoints at entrances to check up on people i.e. are you feverish etc. Funny thing was that the lady checking people told the couple in front of me not to wear the gloves they had on, with the reasoning that the virus "loves" the materiel and the gloves are more likely to help spread the virus while being ineffective in providing you protection.

      • bargainshooter on 07/04/2020 - 09:32
        +2

        The reason health professionals advise against wearing gloves is because many people don't know how to use them against microbial contagion. They treat them like gardening gloves, not like they're being used against caustic material.

    • bargainshooter on 07/04/2020 - 09:29

      So they're ok for health workers but won't work for everyone else?

      • cheaponos on 07/04/2020 - 12:25

        Yes the gloves only work on health workers hands…isn't that obvious :-)

    • Rlogarisation on 07/04/2020 - 14:04

      In standard, health professionals cannot use these respirators, since it has only one-side filter, only can prevent doctors getting virus. But it will infect others if doctor got infected.

      • systema on 08/04/2020 - 07:36

        It is actually used by some hospitals where a sterile field is not required (e.g. outside of operating theatre during routine care).

  • ogiusa on 07/04/2020 - 09:26

    If you want full personal protection, this is it. This forms a perfect seal around your face. Surgical masks and most disposable N95s are useless if you want to protect yourself since you have air coming in from the sides, top & bottom of the mask
    You can also use this 3M full face mask for any reno jobs, harsh cleanups or when/if the next deadly virus (especially airborne) hits…..

    • popsiee on 07/04/2020 - 09:54
      +4

      most disposable N95s are useless

      So I guess that is why medical personal use them and the public is discouraged from buying them ?

    • mickyboy1 on 07/04/2020 - 09:59
      +1

      There is no perfect seal. Needs to be fit tested as per ASNZS 1715 to determine if it gives an 'adequate seal'. Males need to be clean shaven at all times, same as a disposable.
      Most of the filters from 3M are electrostatic type which are not so good.
      Also this particular mask is often reproduced by factories so unless the seller is an authorised distributor the likelihood of being counterfeit is high.buyer beware

      • Save Medicare on 07/04/2020 - 10:17

        If you want best seal you need PAPR

        • mickyboy1 on 07/04/2020 - 10:32

          Quite a broad comment. Would love for you to explain how so?

          Considering a PAPR with a loose fitting head top gives less APF than a full face mask, in fact it gives the same APF as a half face piece.
          Too much incorrect information being disseminated during this pandemic.

    • Scope on 07/04/2020 - 10:59

      I've tried both surgical masks and n95 masks. The sealing difference between them is like night and day. N95 masks don't get the n95 or p2 rating if they don't give you a good seal (assuming you don't get a counterfeit and it is worn correctly).

    • huubang on 07/04/2020 - 11:15

      How do you know which size fits you without trying?

  • grumpymao on 07/04/2020 - 09:29

    The filter comes with this is equivalent to P2, you need 3m 6035/6038 or 3m 2135/2138 for P3.
    3m 60926 would also work, but too heavy and pricey

      A little hard to breathe in at first. Took a while to get used to it. I spent about $750 on face masks for the family. Now in the event this contagion intensifies, I'll be pulling them back out. New filters last for approx. 3months

    • Uchuujin on 07/04/2020 - 15:56

      Actually for the average uninfected person, this is probably better to buy than disposable N95's imo. Medical professionals need N95 surgical masks because, when properly fitted, they protect both the wearer and the people around them. These resporators only filter incoming air and have a seperate unfiltered one way valve for exhaust. Good if youre not sick, doesn't do much if you are or could be potentially infected already. Hence why the N95's are essential for front like medicos, better protection from them getting infected, and in the case that thery are infected and dont know it yet, better protection from them unknowingly infecting others.

      Bought the half face version of these for food manufacturing cause it was cheaper than buying a stack of disposables (stupid compliance regulations and price jacking), and taking the work environment into account the filters will last 6 months easy so made more sense. Damn uncomfortable though. Also i look like a tool when wearing it. On the plus side, i do sound like Bane…

      • SolidworksError on 07/04/2020 - 16:09

        Yeah that makes some sense, though it sounds like medical field is starting to improvise pretty drastically with regards to PPE… wouldn't be surprised to be seeing dust masks and paint/fume respirators like this being used

        • Uchuujin on 07/04/2020 - 16:43

          Yeah, sucks that they're so critically underequipped. I guess when you're dealing with the heightened risk of infection all day every day, anything at all is better than nothing.

I wouldn't recommend you buy them to protect yourself from Covid-19. If you can wear these for more than an hour at a time. You are doing well. Please leave these for those who need them.
