Where each product wins
Fall-arrest equipment: This is a complete rescue-oriented setup. It is built around a 330 lb maximum workload, a 65.62-foot operating range, and a ratchet-type dual-disc braking system, so it covers the core needs of elevated work and rescue.
Willson facelet lot: This is a rare new old stock find. It includes 12 facelets per style, five original boxes, and compatibility with multiple classic Willson respirator series, which makes it a practical parts source for older equipment.
Product notes
330 Lbs Load Fall Arrest Protection Equipment
The 330 Lbs Load Fall Arrest Protection Equipment With Safety Harnesse For Rescue is the option for active elevated work. Its 330-pound maximum workload and breaking strength of at least 8900N give you a concrete safety margin, and the ratchet-type dual-disc braking system with a spring-loaded snap hook handles the arrest action. Because it arrives without assembly required, you can put it into use quickly. The limitation is that it is a fall-arrest and rescue specialty tool; it does not provide respiratory protection, so it works best as part of a broader workplace safety program rather than as a standalone buy. The 65.62-foot operating range also supports rescue tasks, but that range only matters if the work area gives you enough room to use it.
Willson Respirator Facelet Lot (NOS)
The RARE WILLSON Respirator FACELET LOT NOS Industrial PPE 20-20931 400 750DC 800C is the right choice when your respirator inventory includes older Willson units. It is new old stock, so the facelets remain in original boxed packaging. Each of the five original boxes holds 12 facelets of Style No. 2, and the lot carries part number 20-20931. The compatibility list covers the 400, 750DC, 1B, 2B, 5D, 6, 11B, 22B, 45D, and 55 respirator series, which makes it a practical spare-parts buy for multiple older units. The clear limitation is that these are facelets only, not complete respirators, so they need a compatible Willson respirator body to be useful. If you already own any of those models, this lot gives you a ready supply of hard-to-find replacements.
Final choice by use case
For active work at height, rescue operations, or any task where a personal fall-arrest system is needed, choose the 330 Lbs Load Fall Arrest Protection Equipment With Safety Harnesse For Rescue. For maintaining or restoring classic Willson respirators, choose the RARE WILLSON Respirator FACELET LOT NOS Industrial PPE 20-20931 400 750DC 800C. If your workplace needs both, the fall-arrest kit addresses an immediate safety function, while the facelet lot is a parts purchase for older equipment.
