Safety visor

[Graham]

I have just brought one of the cheap Axi face shield / sagely visor things

and unlike reports I have read I find it quite uncomfortable, gave me a headache after just a couple of minutes..
Does anyone know if heating the plastic band ( just a little ) and forming it into a more natural shape works ?

Forgive a silly question, but did you adjust the headband to fit snugly but NOT too tight?

I  bought something similar from Screwfix (or Toolstation) a while ago and find it ok to wear.

I did adjust it to fit but it makes a perfect circle and heads are more oval. I am sitting here pinching in the sides to oval it and it is changing a bit.

Graham I would imagine that a bit of gentle heat from a hair dryer or similar might be an aid to shaping the plastic but maybe a bit of padding would be better? I have one similar to this, its getting a bit old now so could probably do with replacing it but it is comfortable and I can wear it for hours.

I have been sat watching youtube videos while wearing it. Head heat seems to be improving the shape and comfort.

Thank God SWIMBO hasn't seen me

Wise man, some of those videos are potentially lethal.

What does the 'I' in SWIMBO stand for?....could it be 'immediately'?

I don't think it stands for anything. My understanding is that it can be spelt either literally or the way it is pronounced.

[Bryan Milham]

From the old TV programme Rumpole of the Bailey, his wife was known as She Who Must be Obeyed (SWMBO)

I think this has been lifted from the book "She" by H Rider Haggard, but hyphenated. From Chapter VI:

“Slay not,” was the reply. “Four suns since was the word brought to me from ‘She-who-must-be-obeyed,’ ‘White men come; if white men come, slay them not.’ Let them be brought to the house of ‘She-who-must-be- obeyed.’

[Graham]

Yes, to both of you, but it was the 'I' that was being questioned. I maintain that as it is frequently pronounced 'swim' it is also common practice to spell it that way.

Nothing wrong with phonetics!

I do not have a SWMBO, I wear the trousers in my house............my wife told me so!!

[Eric Harvey]

 I`ve found the easiest way to make these fit your head better is to put on weight until your head is round enough to fit the shape of of the faceshield

...ah, but when my wife is out, I'm allowed to be the boss, and when I'm out, she's allowed to be the boss.....when we're both in, the boss is out!
Works for us!
