I tried one but it didn't work for me. They are generally expensive and can be difficult to wear with glasses, in hot weather, or with even a day or two of beard. Full face masks need an air supply. The supply needs to come from outside the area where you work or else you will be buying lots of tiny filters. On top of that, mine used a hose for air supply so I had to drag that around but some have more portable supplies with filters. If the air supply should stop for any reason you will need to get that thing off your face very quickly since there will be NO air available to breathe. Most of those masks have lots of straps to form fit the mask to your face and they don't all come off easily. Also, if you're thinking of using an air compressor to supply the air I can't recommend it. That air really stinks!

And, you probably have no chance at all of answering the phone before it stops ringing ....
