What are the benefits of using an upper guard vs a lower guard, or is it just personal preference?

In my opinion it is personal preference. I asked people at my dentist's office about this and that was their opinion, too, i.e., that upper vs. lower didn't matter with respect to functionality (I asked the people that worked at my dentist's rather than the dentist, since my dentist isn't happy about patients using mouth guards that are not purchased through him). My daughter has been using a lower J&S mouth guard, while I have been using an upper J&S guard. We are both happy. The guards are both of them comfortable, and have been protecting against tooth wear, so both are doing what they are supposed to.

If you need to start a cut and the guard is in the way, you have to hold it up while you start the cut, then release it. It is there for your protection.

I have 2 different pair of boots that I wear regularly. On one, the upper part of the boot is large enough for the gun and holster to ride inside. The handle of the gun basically sits on the top outside of the boot cuff. On the other pair, I have to wrap the holster around the outside of the boot upper. The holster is less comfortable on these boots because it limits the movement of the boot upper on my ankle and kind of squeezes.

I used a few on a magpul handguard no drill at all, most handguards have areas where you can use this prouduct. If you have a very expensive guard like Yankee Hill or Nordic your going to need they're rails. The only thing about this unit is I found the screws could have been a tad longer! but price is good,i just spent $ 40.00 for one 12" Nordic upper rail. Bottom line it all depends on your guard !

Yes you can use it without the guard but you are removing the safety feature and it could sling something and hit you.

I tried on a long type vest and a short type vest at Dicks Sports before buying, I would suggest to do the same first before deciding. But, I like the short vest because it seems to put more weight on your shoulders, chest and upper back where the longer vest put a little more pressure on the lower back and not so much on the upper section of your back.

At this point I would suggest adult. The difference is generally the length of the mouth guard, and with all of your Adult teeth you should be fine. I hope this is helpful.

Stability is better with the mid grip over the pistol grip in the sense that your hand is closer to the target rather than behind the whole drill. It has better control and is easier to keep on the head of a screw or what have you. :)

It gives better leverage and is easier to release with your thumb without moving your hand around the grip. It is more of a comfort thing than a tactical advantage.

The full width arms makes it easier to pull from either side, the pressure is much better distributed across ones fingers and doesn't feel like its cutting. The longer right arm has a bit more leverage, needed because of the forward assist. It has short lever motion so it's quicker and more solid feeling. It has not pinched me (yet). Yes, to me it's worth the cost.

I believe it gives the freedom and movement of your hands while still protecting them. They don't slide around. It just feels more like your not wearing anything. Someone else may have a better answer.

I honestly don't think weight is an issue if you are confident you have a secure attachment. On the other hand, as you increase weight you decrease the displacement ratio which may impact comfort.

Quite honestly, I never use the Blade Guard and occasionally use the Kick Back Pawl. I change from Rip to Crosscut to Dado so often that it is cumbersome. I also find the Blade Guard annoying as I am closely watching my fine cuts. I know the potential hazards. What I find most annoying ii s the large side opening next to the blade. Sawdust collection, even with a strong vacuum is terrible.

It should work like a charm. You get two guards. They are very easy to readjust. I molded one to my uppers and one to my lowers. I do not wear both at the same time, but can wear either and it works great. Good luck!! Order with confidence! :D

I like it better. Wider shoulder surface is more comfortable. Method of leg adjustment is better and more secure. And it doesn't accidentally slip off of the fiddle as easily.

Basically, Higher Tension = More Control; Lower Tension = More Power. Comes down to player preference. Personally I like higher tension because I like to get the ball as close to the tin as possible but if you like power.. go looser. Or something in the middle if you want well-rounded.CheersPaul

Long gives you a handle that if your used to disposables helps you transition better. The guard is a small ledge on each side of the base of the head. No guard would mean the blade would sit on the counter if laid on its side. If a novice I would suggest. The long handled with guard. I just got mine few weeks back and have sensitive skin this has been a blessing compared to expensive disposables that clogged up with my coarse hair. No problem with this unit. Now I'm looking at badger brush sets n such to complement my merkur long handle with guard. The slim has a tiny handle if you have small hands may work for you. Most suggest to use long handle first. Hope I helped also join up at shaving forums alot of people have helped me get started.
