I started using a pancake welding hood and it has changed my life

I've been experimenting with hoods, got a Wendy's hood with a TrueArc lens and it's amazing - my ability to see has dramatically increased. My apologies, the lens is $59 not $50.

Good info. Do you think it's worth trying one? My sugar scoop is great. Only complaint is getting to flip it down and fit in tight spaces under cars mostly

[@TempleThomas]

You can definitely get it in a lot more tight spaces for sure. For under vehicles, I’m actually thinking about a pair of either the Lincoln or Miller auto darkening goggles that have a fire resistant hood I think that’s gonna be the ultimate tight space protection.

Great video and gave me some good info on the pancake, wanted one for a while and honestly think it might be the right move

[@TempleThomas]

Glad to hear that. Go for it you won’t regret it

What shade of auto darking and Cheater lens fit in it . Wendy website says fixed lens and Cheater lens only .

[@TempleThomas]

@@jryc5566 when I got my Wendy’s, they were actually three options available. The adjustable auto darkening is the thickest box and that’s what I have. I use a single shade auto darkening and then a course of cheater lens. I have both TruArc and ArcIne lenses in about a shade 10 to 11

Hold up you need to explain the lens that helps you see better !
I'm in welding school I can't see very good I need prescription.
So I can put a prescription in my lens ??
Please explain further

[@TempleThomas]

what I use is a "cheater" or magnifying lens like this (I use a 2.0 magnification) : smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B095YW7KXP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
if you need a true prescription I know these lenses fit under pancakes : Tom Waters www.tomwatersonline.com/product/shop-by-popular-work-brands/tom-waters-optical-and-boots/tom-waters-pipeliner-glasses-regular-rim-frame/

[@miamimagicians]

Are you trying to scoop out hoods on cars? Is that something you would use welding for

[@TempleThomas]

I'm not sure I understand your question

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

You should use the arcone they are just as good as the Lincoln’s and are only 90 bucks you should try one!

[@TempleThomas]

That’s actually what I have in there now and you’re right I love it. I have one that can switch between shades 10 and 11.

If You think that pancake works good check out the outlaw pancake the carbon fiber 2.0 that thing is awesome.

Glad it was helpful!

[@wilkincabrera2807]

Can I use a respirator?

[@TempleThomas]

Yeah the Miller LPR100 fits under just fine.

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

Why do you need a respirator?

[@UncleRobsGarage]

I've been welding 26 years for fun ,and I wish I had time for welding school.

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

They teach you a lot man highschool doesn’t really teach much

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

My high school does but that’s because we have a certified inspector as a teacher.

[@davidabbott5097]

Look if I'm outside I'm going to be under a tent to begin with and if your Hood's fogging up breathing hard just calm down it'll be okay I like the old school pipeliner a regular lens if it's up it's off it's down it's on
