It isn't 5% finer, just 5% more.

I have a very old Trend which I find heavy to use, I therefore looked at the Axminister respirator and eventually purchased a JSP respirator from Toolpost which looks to all intents and purposes the same as the Axminster.   When I came to replace the filters I telephoned Axminister to confirm whether their filters would fit, the response I received was that whilst they would fit the JSP filters from Toolpost gave a greater level of protection.  Perhaps further research.

You got a very good price there Motley!

I did indeed Mike. Still available at that price at https://www.trenddirectuk.com/air-pro-airshield-pro-respirator-kit-with-8hr-battery if anyone is interested/has some spare Christmas cash. (Probably should point out I have no personal interest in this company!). Certainly well worth the investment for your lungs' sake.
