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 use a nice Lincolin one and I am very happy with it.
I also purchased 2 helmets from Harbor Freight. I tried one and it flashed me so bad I felt it was not usable. This is why I purchased the Lincoln. I later tried the other HF helmet and it worked fine. So if you do get a cheap HF one and it doesn't work, take it back. The difference between the 2 was huge. Don't leave the helmet in the dark. The solar cells keep the internal batteries charged. I keep mine in the front office where it stays clean and there is plenty of light. |
