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) |

As far as an auto dark helmet most of the time the higher the price the faster the speed at which they darken. Also the higher priced ones usually have better optics/clarity.
I use a Jackson flip style everyday & the only time I use an auto dark is when in a confined space where I can't flip my hood. My auto dark is a mid priced adjustable Hobart unit. The clarity is not real good & it's my last choice to use when welding. I have never tried the high end units. |
