Ladies and Gents,
Need recommendations on good helmets. This is something I will be using on the weekend when working on the car and other projects, not for everyday use. I am sure my kids will be using it too so offer up any suggestions on equipment you would require your kids to wear. I have a cheap helmet which would probably be fine for quick tasks but want to insure the safety of others too. Much appreciated. Kevin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Kevin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I tell all my students re welding ppe is to you get what you pay for.. I have used Jackson nexgen for the last 10 or so years and have tried many different brands.. I think though for you a harbor freight helmet would be fine.. However if you are going to do allot of welding expect to pay 200 plus for something that lasts. Miller, Jackson, speedglass, lincoln, Hobart are all really good brands |

A Dad skied up to me and asked where he could get cheap helmet for his son. I asked him how expensive his son.s head was. |
