My husband suggested I get a wrist brace so I did some research on here and found a couple braces that looked like they would work. I was very tempted to buy the Wellgate for Women brace but my husband and I thought the Mueller brace would be best for me, plus this particular brace is black and I didn't want a brace that would get dirty easily. Most of the brace is soft while the core (located on the top and bottom of the brace) is harder so it helps stabilize the wrist. This brace is not reversible so you have to make sure you buy a left brace, right brace, or both if needed. This brace comes in two sizes: small/medium (fits wrist circumference of five to eight inches) and large/xlarge (fits wrist circumference of eight to ten inches). So far, I've been very happy with this brace and would recommend it to anyone who needs a wrist brace!"
"Like some of the other reviewers pointed out, greens a bit of an odd choice to put inside but you can barely notice it once tightened. Also, I LOVE that they went the extra step and put a piece of fabric inside so that the Velcro part (if you have a bigger wrist) won't rub against your skin."
"It helped minimize my wrist pain in less than two weeks and provided much needed relief which I couldn’t get from other sources! I often depend on others leaving honest reviews when I need to order a new item. I strive for the same in leaving reviews for others – to leave a review that will help others make an informed decision (never to inflate the product's quality)."
Two support stays, one top and one on bottom to provide rigid support to the wrist.

"These are the best knee pads I have ever used, for sure. They have great cushioning and are very comfortable, but in my opinion what really makes them better than most other knee pads on the market is the fact that they have two adjustable straps with slip buckles instead of one of the straps being a velcro. As with some other reviewers here, when I first received the knee pads one of the rivets that holds the straps in place came off."
"I’ve had no issues with these knee pads so far."
"Totally awesome for the price, I have been using them since I got them and no more pain for my knees, also great material and they blend well with my black pants!"
"I have not heavy duty used them yet(it may not be until spring) but I put them on and tried em out and they are so nice and soft on my knees!"
"Sturdy, well made and comfortable to wear, they offer solid protection for those who spend a great deal of their work day (or night in my case) on their knees."
"Love the knee pads."
"Straps are comfortable too..I've tried other top brands and these are just as good if not better for the price."

"One last item, is the front plastic lens is a standard size so that if you want to put a 1.25 or whatever power lens in place of the original it is as easy as going to the local welders, purchasing the power you want and installing."
"When welding, the arc flashes power the solar cells which in turn keep the lens active."
"Couldn't beat the price, however all the positive reviews are what led me to purchase this item and I was not let down."
"this is perfect for that novice welder so much easier."
"I have a big head and some of the new style hoods with auto darkening are just too darn narrow for me, not this hood. The hood seems flimsy, but that is the way most newer hoods are made, not like my father's 1940's hood."
"I guess this is fine for your garage welder type like me but I don't feel like it's as amazing as the other reviews - that encouraged me to buy this - say that it is."
"I just found this out today when one of my guys called in because his eyes were burnt. I’m am against unsafe work and would have told him to go buy a new helmet if he had called but like a typical welder he just pushed on. Not auto shielding on is a inconvenience but turning off while in the middle of a weld is a hazard."

Find Best Price at Amazon"There is a reason these Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs are probably the most popular model of their type on the market -- they're dirt cheap and work very well. We're also big into the night vision world, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Team Wendy ComTac headset adapters worked with these muffs almost PERFECTLY (see photos I've attached to this review). They Howard Leights -- in our extensive experience -- are: MORE durable, MORE comfortable, have MUCH better battery installation, LOOK better, FEEL like they're higher quality, PERFORM better, and now that we've discovered they can use the Peltor helmet mount adapters, there is simply NO reason to ever get another set of the cheap Peltors."

"Needed goggles that would go over glasses."
"You can make ANY goggles virtually "fog free" (under most conditions) by marking them with plain bar-soap. Simply make a few swipes on the inside of the goggles with a plain white soap bar, then wipe the marks around until the goggles are clear and clean. If you work in very hot or cold conditions, there will be a differential in temperature between the inside and outside of your goggles or glasses. The soap film will help prevent condensation (fog) from forming under most conditions, but it won't work permanently in 90-degree sunshine or freezing temperatures. If for some reason you are required to work under those extreme conditions, you just have to remove the goggles and equalize inside-to-outside temperatures more often. Otherwise, It is the differential between the inside temperature and outside temperature of the lens that cause condensation."
"These safety googles are awesome and work well."
"Keeps almost all of the fine sawdust out of my eyes & is comfortable to wear for an extended period of time."

"She loves them and I feel more comfortable that she is wearing something that can protect her. For those who wrote that the glove got cut and you were disappointed. What if you weren't wearing the glove?"
"I bought these because I keep my blades sharp enough to cut a free standing over ripe tomato in half with a single horizontal swipe that have cut my wife to the bone before she even knew she was cut. NOCry is an excellent company that I look forward to doing more business with."
"Ordered two pairs after a family member sustained a really bad injury in the kitchen, one for the family member and one for myself."
"Anyway, we have a nice sharp knife set and even though I'm pretty careful, I occasionally nick myself which is never a good time as I have to stop, treat the cut and put on rubber gloves before finishing."
"The gloves fit well and even though the instructions say 'don't do this' - I used a knife across the palm just to see how well it held up...a standard kitchen paring knife didn't cut any of the fibers and I was gladly uninjured."
"I find them useful for: Sharpening knives. hand polishing knives. handling sharp edged metals, such as flashing or freshly cut/machined metal edges. picking up broken glass. hand carving wood and wax. practicing with a balisong, a little slippery so you get to work on a light touch though you can still stick yourself with the point."

The springy exterior of the mask keeps the straps from pulling out, keeps the valve where it needs to be and holds the mask shape. The compliant, soft surface of the interior is perhaps the most important feature of the design both in terms of the fit and in preventing from dust from working its way around the side of the mask into your nose and mouth. With a mask without a valve my warm breath rises from the mask and fogs my glasses."
"Leaks are minimal to none and the only place the tape sits is where the mask touches the chin--not where air would be coming through anyway. (the pictures are with duct tape, but gorilla tape stays put about 10x better on the felt."

You can also adjust the apron effectively to the height that you would prefer by pulling the straps down further through the waist rivets."
"The Hudson apron uses padded shoulder straps and a quick connect buckle in back. My only minor complaint would be the leather restraint that holds the shoulder straps in back."
"I wanted a heavy duty apron and this is it."
"My husband needed to replace his old work apron used in his woodworking shop and he had specific request..a full cover apron but it can't hang on the back of his neck which puts a strain on that area ....it must have pockets enough for cell phone, pencils, note paper, hankie, and the all important ruler...and it has to be durable and not ugly....My answer was are you kidding???"
"A good shop apron has to be comfortable, cool and durable. The Hudson Durable Goods company makes a great shop apron."
"I wear this apron in the machine shop, and it has pockets for everything."
"I would suggest the mfg to use a buckle that's adjustable rather than a belt that you tie...but it's not worth taking away a star. I'll be more productive in my shop because now I won't have to look for my pencil, measuring tape, square, etc."
