Any cheap positive pressure masks ?

[mightymig]

Does anybody have any first hand experience with a battery powered 'cheap' half mask, I'm thinking options such as seen on Aliexpress that come with a connection for a standard filters e.g. RD40. What I am really asking is has anyone used one of these cheapy blowers off China and are they any good? I'd just buy a reputable mask + filter that takes RD40 and attach it to this such as 3M one or whatever?

Want it for general grinding jobs nothing mental like painting or what have you, rather than using something like a JSP Force 8 or 3M jobby. It seems like if you aren't clean shaven then there's not much point bothering with a face sealing type and positive pressure is the best option. Surely even if half decent it will outperform a bad seal anyway?

Cheers

What do you count as cheap if it was a known brand? £200 should get you a decent scott tornado setup of new and used parts off ebay.

£200 is getting up there but should bite the bullet - however wasnt familiar with that system and theyre going for about 100 maybe on eBay so worth a look for sure.

A ton is more where I was aiming at max.

I want to spray 2 pack so I would ideally put most of my money into a supplied air system, just wanted something cheap for when portability is needed. I also intended to just stick that supplied air system on a 3m air welding mask too, instead of battery.

Maybe I should just look for a 9100 3m welding system as cheap as possible, but won't do for paint.

Pardon our interruption...

My 15yo 3M Versaflo pack and I put an offer in for £100 and got one of these for £100. Kept the Versaflo headgear and gaffer taped the 3M's tube to it - works a treat!
