Welding Helmets
What is a Welding Helmet? This is the most critical and important piece of the personal protective equipment (PPE) for any welder. Welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes from "arc eye" or "welder's flash" caused by ultaviolet and infrared radiation.The two most popular helmet styles are passive helmets and auto-darkening helmets. Passive helmets are fixed-shade glass lens and auto-darkening helmets use sensors to detect the arc and instantly darken the lens. We carry multiple brands of welding helmets including Lincoln Electric, Miller, Weldcote, ESAB, and 3M.

Main Activities that Require a Welding Helmet
You will need a welding helmet while Arc Welding (MIG, TIG, Stick) along when you do some Plasma Cutting & Goughing. Also, most newer auto-darkening helmets have a secondary option called Grind Mode. This allows the welder to weld then with a press of a button switch into grind mode and begin grinding a piece of material.
