1st time wearing this safety mesh shield today. I'm losing sight in my left eye (Age-related Macular Degeneration) and my wife has been suggesting for several years that I start wearing protection when using my power tools. Didn't want to look like a wimp even though we have almost an acre to maintain and I've had close calls in the past. Anyway the shield took 3 stone hits today and countless twigs. Gonna mark it up like a Gerry Cheevers goalie mask.
