Thread: Safety

Go back one page from this BB ans there is an excellent link containing important info
on dust hazards to woodies.
Why is the safety eqipment so overpriced..I
recently ordered a replacement visor for my Racal Dustmaster. I didn't check the price as I
had ordered one (same supplier) a year ago for $27. Imagine my surprise when goods were received with a credit deduction for $97.oo.
I contacted the supplier and was informed that Racal had been taken over by 3M and
prices had increased greatly. (The full unit will now ship for just under a grand.)
What is the justification....it surely cant be the cost of a few plastic bits, abattery unit and tiny motor. Is this a GST ploy? Does anyone believe the price will come down later.
PROTEST...if your'e dead all your fancy tools will be worth squat.
ENCOURAGE...a manufacturer of a reasonably priced alternative which I believe is in the pipeline
IMPROVISE...A tampon up each nostril may work....oh hang on aren't they attracting GST
as a luxury item.
I await your responses eagerly...we can make a change!!!

Cheers
