Harbor Freight? The company that exploits stolen ideas and peddling crap so cheaply made it is dangerous? Save your rip offs for another garage sale in the parking lot.
Our medical professionals deserve better. Keep sewing the masks from scrap fabric Aunt Millie, yours are more than welcome.If it's brown, it's cook'in....If it's black, it's done ---my Grandfather Medium BGE -

Their tools are cheap, but they have come a long way. Saying it is so cheap it is dangerous is just stupid. You sound like you have a vendetta.
BTW scrap fabric masks do almost nothing, especially in a hospital environment.XL BGE and Kamado Joe Jr. -
Thinking of all the people I know hurt by Harbor Freight tools... Oh wait, that would be nobody. In more than 30 years using their tools for a living, I've had one impact socket break, compared to many times more Craftsman and Matco tools breaking. When I took the socket back to the store, they gave me a new complete set.
I have no idea what your problem with the company is, and I have a hunch you don't either. Some people just love to hate. Try not to be one of them.

instead of bashing look in your garages and shops for masks, a local home just picked up all my masks. it wasnt much but the nuns were more than thankful.

That is not even correct. None of these, including surgical masks seal on your face and you end up breathing lots of unfiltered air. Studies show this...
PLUS it is for 1 micron particles. The covid virus is .1 micron in size....

That test is dubious at best. For example, there are many different types of material weaves, thicknesses, cotton types, etc. I have some T shirts that are see-through. Some are real thick and make me sweat. Just like bed sheets. The test does not reveal the fabric density, weave, etc. This will all majorly impact filtration. The real answer is it may be more effective than nothing, but in reality you are simply guessing. It is a false sense of security.
Add to all the above that you cannot seal the sides of the DIY masks. I promise you the testing did not take this into account. As the article states, some of the materials add a significant pressure drop through the material. This will translate to "pulling" lots of unfiltered air around the mask between your cheek, chin, nose as that is the less restrictive path.
If you don't have a real mask, you should just behave as if you don't have any mask. Even with a DIY mask. It may help somewhat, but you should not do anything you shouldn't do without a mask.
