Welding Tools For The Home

AUTO DARKENING SOLAR WELD HELMET What’s great, you no longer have to raise or lower you’re your helmet during welding. This helmet is simple and compact in structure. It’s easy to use with a wide viewing area. Welding arcs emit both IR and UV wavelengths of light.

Unprotected from this light, both eye damage and discomfort can occur.Since high-quality auto-darkening helmets provide UV and IR protection even when the helmet is not activated, you are always protected. Nice helmet for that at home workshop and addition to your other welding hand tools.The Lens automatically darkens when the arc is struck in 1/10,000 of a second. Adjustable shade from #9 to # 13 (dark state); select shade level by turning dial inside helmet. Solar cell powered when welding. Coated purple lens protects from UV and IR rays up to shade 13, even in the light state.

See work more clearly before, after and during welding operations. Rear dial on head strap for adjustment.There may be an advantage to a solar helmet over a helmet that uses batteries. One thing to watch out for is getting "flashed" with battery-operated helmets. Some helmets offer a feature that will automatically turn off the battery after the helmet has been sitting idle. If the welder isn't careful, he could get arc flash thinking that his helmet is still dark. Solar powered also offers the convenience of not having to worry about changing batteries.

Best to your welds.
