    Just did a repair job on my wrought iron fence outside and WOW this hat works great. Love the controls (adjustable darkness, weld/grind switch), gave some thought to comfort with pads. Probably not for consideration by a pro but for a Harbor Freight regular like me, this thing is great.

    A few things that come to mind related to the topics in this thread. For welding, I just use these cheap rechargable LED headband lights fastened to my cheap self darkening welding helmets. Vast improvement of visability.

    Also when using my pressurized sandblaster in the booth, I put together a really effective fresh air supplied hemet/mask/suit. Even on a 100 degree day it keeps me cool, improves visability as well as supplying a fresh air flow. I used a leaf blower connected to a pool filter hose outside of the booth. It is connected to the top of the helmet and the filtered air is diffused downwards providing clean breathable air as well as cooling the entire painting coveralls that complete the suit.

    Old pics of gazebo turned into blasting booth and blasting helmet hung up. Sadly, I lost the sandblasting equipment in a recent fire when a overhead power line came down but I will replace it. DSC00411.JPG DSC06119.JPG DSC06120.JPG
