I got the Hobart version and I paid $20 with a $10 Hobart gold fixed shade 10 lense. I like it better than my Lincoln 3350 by far.
The holbart gold lenses are real good
You've easily saved me over a hundred pounds. Absolute legend.
Bought one of these for 13 pounds and now gonna modify it to fit the ESAB A40 PAPR unit (face seal and air fed head gear) as they're supplied by my work
Nice man glad I could help! I'm thinking of getting that papr too.
Did the flip front and it’s a great mod. Been rocking a vintage view black dahlia fixed welding lens. I really like the helmet honestly
Hey Jake, I love your videos. I've watched them all. You inspired me to research the boilermaker's union as I'm currently a ship welder. Anyways, thanks for making videos. Please don't stop, you deserve the world man!
That's for watching I'm glad I could help! I've had some computer troubles but I'll hopefully be uploaded again soon. I've got a bunch of new content ready to upload since Ive started a rig welding company this year so stay tuned.
Great video, just ordered everything on amazon. I'm ashamed I didn't think about putting a light on my hood sooner lol.
Awesome!
Blue Eagle is an affordable and quality hood in its class. But I love fiber metal
Nice! I came to this same conclusion to use this same hood with a flip latch respirator, auto shade lens, and headlamp on my own too! I guess great minds think alike! I put a Miller headgear I had in it so it clicks in place at the top, but I can still flick it down with my neck. I had no idea that flicking your neck could be bad so I'll have to try to do that mess.
I love the idea about cutting the spring though- definitely going to try that right now 😂 Great video!
Yeah it's a great set up!
Sweet shield, sweet vid! Good to know don’t have to break the bank for a decent setup..
Picking up my first Mig sometime this month:))))))
Yeah you definitely don't need to spend a lot of money on a shield! Nice my first machine was a mig too!
After trying out four different helmets I thought I finally settled on one that suit my budget, ergonomic and TIG capable. Picked up a pipeliner for chips and discovered after it uses standard consumables. And it doubles as grinding face shield. Awesome.
Good pick! Having a flip up so that I can grind is a must have for me.
Light is a smart idea
Ive got the fibre metal tiger hood with the 2x4 lense and the flip front it’s lasted 20 years with the same head gear
Guy I work with came in today with a "Vires" welding mask - real cheapo auto-darkening mask on price. Chucked it at me to try. There may be nicer, better, cheaper masks out there, but I've not seen any. It's also super light. Tomorrow I will go buy one myself - the view out out of it is 300 dollar/quid - but it only costs 60.
Speaking as an old welder. One downside to a flip helmet is that you have to use another clear lens and each lens adds distortion.
Yeah that's true that is will hinder the view slightly but most people wouldn't really even notice.
I’ve been welding for 20yrs, never been a problem for me
If you want a general brand for this helmet it’s Bulldog welding helmets
Do you know where I can find that lid with the fibre metal hard hat gear? I can’t stand my tigerhood but I have to wear it when around hoisting, which is pretty much all the time when piledriving. But I’m trying to move away from auto lenses because my eyes and these helmets solve that when you modify the flip front and can run a fixed shade.
What size generator do you use to run your little nascar mig welder?
The headlamp is fire 👨🏾🏭🔥 I'm in Toronto, where you at?
yeah the headlight is super nice to have! I work mostly in northern Ontario.
@@JTwelder. nice I'm running 11 shade tefuawe lens pretty good
Good Video Jake.
Im from.
Boilermaker 146
Thanks for watching! Lots of good boilermakers out in Alberta!
Question
I’ve noticed in your videos you have had and or used both fibre metal hard hat adapters the “halo” adapter and the quick connect with your experience which would you recommend also do fibre metal adapters only work on fibre metal hard hats?
I absolutely hate the fibermetal quick connects! They're a horrible invention because the components wear out quite fast and your shield will start wobbling when you flip it up or down. Also when you have the quick connect cups in your shield there's no way to hang it up which is super annoying because working in the field your always looking for a place to hang your shield. The halo is awesome and I don't think it really works on any other hard hats but I've never tried, I always use it on a fibermetal hardhat.
@@JTwelder.the knobs that come with the fibre metal speedy loops are garbage, I ordered the aluminum knobs off Canada Welding Supply but my lid would always come down on me when I’m trying to do layout or what ever, solved that by using Locktite Blue 242 so it they never come loose but at the same time you can still twist them and make fine adjustments with the knobs.
i didnt know different brands has different holes. where did you get the one that works with speedy loop?
I believe it was from linde
What's your best value choice for fixed shade welding lenses. Are they any more worth it when you spend more then 10 bucks
I honestly have only used the air liquid and fiber metal fixed shade lenses. I’ve never tried the more expensive brands so I don’t really know what the premium ones are like.
Can you do the same adjustment on a tiger hood flip lens?
No you can't it's a completely different design.
What light is that on the front of it been looking for one to order but I just don’t know what to get
Not sure. I just use whatever headlamp I have at the time.
Does the light set off your lens if you mount above
No amount of flashlight is ever going to set off an auto lens.
How'd you fit an AD in the flip? I have a TrueColor, and it's thicc and won't fit with a clear over it
@@pulse5217 you have to modify your retaining clip.
@@JTwelder. The tab that clicks into the hole, right? Also is there a decent fiber metal compatible headgear you've found that sets the hood further from the face? My respirator fits under a normal pipeliner but the flip hood sits like half an inch off my face
what kinda glue did you use to stick the light to your helmet?
No glue, It's riveted.
@@JTwelder. alright thanks bud
I'd use 3M plastic moulding and emblem adhesive or probably just the foam tape version, since I have a huge roll kicking around and it's easier than screwing with a messy adhesive.
Velcro!
Can you fit a clear lens, gasket, AD lens, gasket, clear lens?
I can fit my auto lens and two clears in the flip. I never run gaskets on auto lenses.
@@JTwelder. interesting, i just assumed i should. Any reason besides more room in the lens housing? Also, are you aware of any seller of these hoods that you know consistently has the fibre metal square holes?
have you tried chopping one like an inch or two on the bottom to remove that lip?
No I wouldn’t need to. It doesn’t hit you in the neck like a sugar scoop so no point of chopping it
@@JTwelder. i chopped mine an inch on the bottom cause it was hitting my collar bone but its super nice unchopped too
Can I fit a 2x4 lens ? If so what mods do i need to make ? TYI
Yes it takes a standard 2x4 lens. If it’s a passive lens it will fit in perfectly, if it’s auto darkening you might have to modify the retaining clip
Dude.. I bought this Helmet from princess auto none of my 2x4 autodarkening lense fit in it (with 2 protective lenses on outside and inside). How do you mod or deal with this issue? :(
I grind down the edges of the retaining clip. Works for most auto lenses.
@@JTwelder. All 4 right? Just to confirm... I was thinking of doing that.
Seems like the light would be below the weld zone
@@brentcuaz7756 I don’t understand what you mean. I can assure you that mounting it below the flip is the best spot because it the flattest part of the shield and its easy to turn the light on and off when placed there.
cant you leave a small opening to peek through and aim the just lower your head and weld
I’m sure what you mean but I can assure you that this setup is by far the most ease of use when it comes to a welding helmet.
I made the mistake of buying one of those outlaw leather style Tigerhoods but a cheaper version for $120. They look cool and I wanted a flip up helmet
Well the flip up on the one I got didn't work well so I returned it and while I was waiting for the replacement I bought one of these helmets for 17 bucks. The damn thing has better headgear, is much lighter and it's 10 times easier to get the lenses in and out without scratching them up
Exactly man! Outlaws are basically purely for the look they don't really have any practical advantage over a regular helmet. These plastic ones are awesome!
If fibre metal made a pipe liner (sugar scoop) helmet with the same flip front as the tiger hood and called it “the boilermaker” they’d prob sell 200k of them in the first month.
Yeah that be cool, I just don't like how heavy the material fibermetal uses to make the pipeliner.
More expensive shields do not make you any better welder ... more a sign of someone with lame welder ability. Leave the shields with $50 and up on the rack ... plenty of wonderful choices for under that.
Get a low cost, light shield weight shield. Mod it however you see fit for you work environment and job at hand. Wear a balaclava and respirator ... weld on
what a 🐈
