The Pyramex HHAA face shield bracket is constructed from lightweight aluminum. Universal sizing fits on the brim of most cap style hard hats and accommodates a variety of faceshields. The grooved front of the bracket slips over bill of cap style hard hats. The spring wraps around back of hat for secure fit. Pivoting action allows user to lift faceshield up and out of the way while wearing, allowing a closer look at the workpiece. Both the
Willson M86 and
Pyramex S-1010 clear face shields fit this headgear.
Please note that
safety glasses must be worn, since a face shield is not rated as primary eye protection. The reason for this is that flying debris can get around the edges of the shield and injure your eye. The benefit of wearing a face shield is to stop particles from smacking you in the face. This may be from using a polishing wheel or grinder. There is however a limit to what the shield will stop, so please use care when working around power tools. Tremendous forces can be built up around grinding wheels and the like.
