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) |

I agree with the others. If you wear glasses be sure that your new helmet will accept lenses. I bought a Miller Pro Hobby w/ a set of 1.75 lenses last year and am quite pleased with it. I used a Harbor Freight one previously. Although ample, I wish I had gone with the Miller 5 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I did the exact same thing, upgraded to Miller Pro after using a HF one for years. I can see much better out of the Miller, I never get eye strain like I did with the HF and the headset is much, much better. I also wish I had done it years ago. The quality of my welds has improved because in part of the better visibility. I would stick with any major brand in the $100-$200 range. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
