Has anyone used the chin operated welding helmets made by accustrike? It looks like a really good idea. I have to buy a welding helmet and this looks like quite an improvement over a regular manual helmet that you have to flip down.

This looks very appealing because of the ease with which you can quickly view your work between welds. Price is $89.

The chin helmet seems nice also because it can be used for grinding- an autodarkening will darken from the sparks.

They also have an autodarkening helmet for $149. This seems to quite an improvement over the prices I see at my local welding shop for autodarkening helmet

Has anybody used their stuff??

I use a JACKSON PRO EQC helmet.It has delay off and darkness control(auto off too).You can set the darkness control for grinding or turn off for grinding(this is what I normally do.)If I'm grinding a lot I use a face shield.A friend used a "jaw" helmet and didn't like it.Most of the "auto-darkening"helmets made today are pretty good. Some have more features than others.(more costs too).The solar option is a waste of money(my own opinion).Good luck..... .....BTW. Even if the battery runs down on mine it will still protect your eyes,(uv and ir)although it is considerably brighter.

I've tried most of the other auto-darkening helmets, and the hands down winner is Speed-Glass. Yes there is a battery to change, but that is a small price to pay. The helmet is the lightest, and the sensitivity is the highest. No headaches, neck problems, or eye problems. Plus there is the option of the air purification add-on. The solar powered helmets I've had are truly not worth the money.

Hi Leon,
I know some people who bought the AccuStrikes and they like them. They tell me it works pretty well for everyone but the habitual gum chewer.

The auto darkening helmets at $150.00 are more value IMPO and the more expensive ones have additional adjustments to allow for less sensitivity while grinding or working next to another welder.

Take a look at the Jackson EQC on my site. We sell that for $150.00 and ship it to you UPS. Link or 1-800-325-1568 Steve

By the way- I have no affiliation with these folks- I just like the look of their stuff and am soliciting opinions.

I'm not a trained welder (learned on my own). I found an answer to finding my way in the dark by using a 500w work light placed close to my work and using my daughter's sidewalk chalk to mark where I want to start my weld. That chalk reflects the light real well and is quite visable under the hood.

I'm looking at getting one of those projector type driving lights that they are pushing for cars these days. You can get a cheap one that puts out a lot of light but won't stand up to all the rain and small rocks they have to face on the road (no problem with welding though.) I figure they could stand farther away from my work area and still spotlight my work.
