The best one is the one that works for you, not necessarily the baddest most expensive hood. I can weld a 6G tig pipe while standing on my head with a Harbor Freight hood on. It’s all in the weldor hands, not the hood. As long as you can see, you can weld.
True
You know I used to think the same thing. But I ran the cheap lincoln home depot hoods for the longest time. And I finally bought the lincoln viking 3350 and hooo lee phok theres a massive difference
@@xXBxGXx69 Glad you found the hood for you
@@xXBxGXx69 I have had the same experience
@@xXBxGXx69 Agreed. I now have a miller digital elite after years of welding with the cheaper hoods.
I got both of my hoods from outlaw leather. I love both of them. My pocket hood gets me out of a bind, especially when you’re making a real critical weld. The main one I use is my custom flip hood, down side to the hood on the all the way left of his table is that their pretty heavy when you have it on a halo for a hard hat. But you get used to it. All those hoods are awesome to have.
My everyday hood is a radnor 2x4 that I bought when I started welding. Just one of those simple filters you can slide in any hood. Since seeing these pancake hoods they would be super nice when outside!
I still got my gold lense welding helmet that auto darkening helmet is a question? I own it
Cool!
@@WesternWeldingAcademy I started with a narrow lense welding helmet. In agriculture class and the whole class nominated me to weld on the project. That was years ago. Lol
@@lannyfullerjr6956 Lmao nice
@@WesternWeldingAcademy aft that I took welding class . Not because of the classmates told me or nominated me to weld on the said project in AG class. I've learned robotic stuff too. Not saying on what but . I learned a lot. . And yes I still have my gold lense welding helmet. I'd use that over some automatic lense darkening helmet anytime. I might get another just cause . Nothing wrong with narrow lense welding helmet. Or pancake helmet . I'll keep my gold lense welding helmet. Still in use . Periodically. Dark lense either narrow or wide lens are good too . And auto darkening helmet has said lense or according to the fastest or selected on auto darkening helmet. All are good 👍😎 I like my gold lense welding helmet. I know this isn't nothing new lol. .
I was told to get a speedglas and I’m not gonna lie I kinda love it!
I’ve been using the same welding hood for a while now luckily, thanks to this video. I finally found out a new one to get
Glad I could help
Just really starting welding. In school right now. Really a big fan of the miller helmet I got. Nothing too fancy, but it’s a nice helmet and it performs well. Maybe down the line it won’t be quite what I need, but for now it’s very nice.
it do be nice 👌
I use an optrel panoramaxx clt because im a welder fabricator in a shop and that thing is on my head all day long and it has a nice wide viewing range to see all the weird angles i need to weld on.
👍
Is that the one with the PAPR attached to it? I’ve been thinking about getting one of those for the comfortability when working indoors.
@@dgrimaldo2008 i bought the regular clt panoramaxx with no papr. Get the cleanspace papr. Look them up on UA-cam. I wasnt impressed by optrel's papr
Those lens covers are ridiculously expensive.
The pancake is the most comfortable I’d have to say
I know right 💯
im 13 im just starting to weld and i love my surgar scoop its great
Keep it up ol'son
Will say the Lincoln Viking 2x4 auto lense is pretty dang good I enjoy using 8010 with the lense
No arguments here.
Awesome! Thanks for this. You guys are amazing. So much great info as I make my way into welding.
My first hood was a esab and it's a great hood but the lens is your entire face and it melts and most definitely not for like pipe welding ir anything like that. It's really light which I love but my second hood was a miller infinity and it has a nice wide viewing area but 1 it's so heavy and 2 it's big and bulky. I just got a chopped outlaw and I absolutely love it. Super light weight and I switched out the head gear and sweat band and the locks on the side and was wayyyyy cheaper then any auto darking hoods and also blows away anything these hoods can do. I also went from production welding to a union so it truly depends on what your getting into.
That pocket hood is pretty slick. I need to make myself one of those.
Give it a shot!
This is an old video I know. But I've got am Optrel crystal and man oh man is it so good.
Thank y'all so much for this video. I never knew that some of these existed !
Our pleasure! More to come
I got a sentinel, for free. Best hood I ever used, have to say being able to see before you start the weld is perfect. However when I first learned on stick used your old traditional hood. Either way as long as you get the job done, nd done right. Your 💯
Great point!
I am proud to say that I got a sentinel for free, too. Won it at a raffle. However, I never needed to use it because I prefer my cheap fixed-shade Jackson helmet. Don't trust autodarkening, I trust my gold shade 11 lens. As long as the helmet is on, you'll never get arc flashed.
Here in Europe we mostly use Speedglass , with the air filtration system,
in america they are stuck with the old school pancake or leather helmets with no filtration because they are too stubborn to use new and better technology. 100% agree that speedglass with papr is the best way to weld
@@nickreuling2932 I have worked all over Europe and UK and never seen a pancake helmet before. We have to use speedglass at most companies now as health and safety. Head protection plus air filtration. I was good aluminium MIG TIG need good filtered air
@nickreuling2932 yea we use old school hoods with fixed lenses like real welders, it's what men use!!! I'm sure yall women love using your speed alien helmets with your fresh clean air 😂 pansies
@@kyleadams1215 lol .
My person favorite for mig is the optrel chrystal 2.0 thing is amazing
Also just applied to you guys. Y’all excepted now just waiting for a phone call. I’m based out of Michigan prayin to see y’all soon!
I’ve got an outlaw, 2 Jackson hoods, and a Miller elite. All in all, I’d take the outlaw leather or my miller
Miller elite ROCKS!!!
noice
I run a fiber metal tiger hood with a true arc shade 9 auto dark best hood I've ever used
Nice
Efficiency the most important 🇺🇸
3m adflo
I prefer a good tiger hood myself mainly because of the flip up lens. I just bought a chopped one with leather from WeldTube that's similar to the ones from Outlaw leather. Gonna see how she does for a while.
I work in a pipe fab shop and I've been using the Tigerhood as well. It's a lil heavy but still a great hood and useful for grinding since you can flip the lens up
thanks for sharing!
We need another for 2023
Only a 2” by 4” cartridge? Why not use a much larger one line the Miller Infinity or Lincoln Viking? I am new to welding and maybe I am missing something but I would think a larger view would be better.
my shop supplies esab sentinel welding lenses. its the best hood you can buy. you can see everything
Yeah I think if your a shop hound, the fancy hoods are great. Big viewing area, grind mode, cut mode etc.
But anything In the field, something with a 2x4, smaller profile, and can keep light out is necessary.
I’ve got a cmr carbon pancake. I can confirm if you are welding pipe with the insulators taken off your stinger v It’ll shock the hell out of you.😂😂😂
hello, I'm wondering which is better, transformer or converter welding machine? pros and cons of each! and which one do you use or which one do you recommend! can you please make a video on this topic? thank you very much
Thank you for the suggestion! We’ll keep this in mind.
Man you can't go wrong with a pancake.
Can or can’t? 🤔
Can't
@@THEREALISTICWELDER Gotchu
I would say that any hood that keeps your eyeballs from turning into burnt grapes covered is sand would be better than nothing but I'm just a hobbyist and my opinion is probably not worth a grain of salt lol. Love the " how much are you worth " series, keep it up! Good luck and God speed!
Bless you kind sir!
I love that custom American flag hood that is to nice to use
👏👏
cant u weigh down the carbon fiber hood with a few grams of something on the bottom to help with ur problem u have with the being too light
I run an outlaw leather custom hood with an auto dark lens (forgot the brand) I love it but man I need to get me a pancake that back light outside killin me and my focus
go for it man
I can tell that none of you have tried an Optrel helmet, they are light, durable, and have the best viewing clarity.
Yeah but you don’t wanna use it in the field in a boiler or steel mill bro
Carbon fiber is absolutely conductive.the clear coat might insulate it till you get a bunch of scratches or something
What are you saying that you've been shocked?
I have a question and it is if it’s my first start of welding would it matter what type of welding hood I should get?
Yes if you're welding indoors or outdoors
@@WesternWeldingAcademy oh that sounds good I’ll see what other welding hood I should get!!,as well as would the Auto-Darkening be better?or the flick-on?or the one that you recommended/the Sugarscoop?
One thing about welding you get to dress up for Halloween everyday
What do you think of Andeli welding masks?

Do best TIG Torches of 2022!
Good idea! We’ll see about that
I've got a wide gold lense welding helmet. Makes it better to see the work piece to be welded on. But that me. Narrow lense helmets are good too.
👌
@@WesternWeldingAcademy agriculture class was one of my first welding. The whole class nominated me to weld in AG class . Fer reason still awkward but weld was done and passed . Slim lense one would say . My weld passed in agriculture class. Just saying. I know I'm not the best but why the whole class nominated me in welding I will not know but the welds held
@@WesternWeldingAcademy oxyacetylene welding almost if not depleted why is that ? U take Tig same thing Tig uses gas to protect the weld. Oxyacetylene welding still in use even though obsolete what ur take on that . Stack of dimes is from oxyacetylene welding the original one stack of dimes however oxyacetylene welding is becoming obsolete if not already I take Tig same thing
@@WesternWeldingAcademy peace. Oxyacetylene welding is becoming obsolete and it is . Tig is a form of oxyacetylene welding. One difference is one oxygen and acetylene. The other is Tig gas to double verse fer the weld oxyacetylene welding. Did all that. . Keep the flux core welding separate from dual gas protection ok they both makes good weld but keep the gass off onf flux core welding ok. Mig root .? Flux core welding can do the same . Ok most welding companies say it's impossible trust me I got alot on downhill welding on 7018 rods . I did down hill weld . They was good . Subject off
180 panoramic all dayyyy.
I have an arc one hood. Came with my gear package for school. I like it okay! I'll probably use it until it dies 🤣🤣 #cheapskate
😂😂
Why dose no one wear a flip hood there or they don’t talk about it
10+ a day for me Australia
I can’t stand the tiny viewing window I weld I. The rain a ton and there’s always that tiny little hole you can see through and I just worry I won’t be able to see with that little thing, if i could see I would much prefer the light cool ass looking hoods
👌
Great content thanks for sharing
thanks!
If I go to your school, can I use my own hood instead of the ones you provide? Love the video and love from Portugal.
of course! But we still give out a hood since it’s part of the consumables
@@WesternWeldingAcademy my uncle is a welder in Holland and he's the one who got me into it. he recently gave he an adflo system with a modified 2x4 hood and love it cause it protects my lungs, haha. Been welding for about a year now and I do good work from it. When I'm 18 I want to go to your school to get certified and learn pipe. God bless
I think I'm going to need something air cooled. I just sweat so much, even in the cold, my glasses and hood fog up.
true but there is an anti fogging spray that you can use
@@WesternWeldingAcademy Frog spit didn't help much, but I got some anti-fogging goggles that held up ok.
Jackson leather welding hood is best for going around pipe
😮💨
Does that pipe liner chop you in the throat?
Does Auto-Darkening Helmets are worth to buy?
As long as you can use it then yes
Personally I don’t think so I’ve welded with only passive welding helmets for 13 years for me passive hoods are better cuz you don’t have to be replacing batteries all the time
@@LuisRamirez-xn4ck thanks for insight
Didn't know once your a good welder you don't have to grind anymore
Not always the case. Sometimes companies do lay offs and you have to do your own till work gets busy again
I'm prolly late to the party but: Dude you should wear that nice hood. I used to not wear the nice gifts and by the end of the day the people that gave the stuff to you are the happiest if you actually wear the stuff. Plus, at the end of the day who are you saving it for? It was intended for you to wear. I feel the same way (I think) to save a gift but at the end of the day, it'll make the person that gave it to you happier if you wear it. Specially that one that someone took the time to select materials to make, that means they intended for it to be worn and last.
Probably the best and lightest hood on the market is the Huntsman 451. Its made of carbon fiber which is way better than plastic or fiberglass. Its virtually indestructible. You dont need a flip up on the front for grinding, cuz you wont grind with a welding hood on, youll use a faceshield for better vision. I cant really speak to the auto darkening hood, but if you are a beginner or do a lot of tacking, it might be for you. After you learn to weld, you will probably want a flip up hood. Youll have to learn how to flip a hood up and down anyway.its not that big a deal. If you want a cool looking hood with flames on it or something, you can spend the extra money. I have to admit they are pretty cool😁😁😁
Those are old school helmets. Should be best helmets of 1960. Fixed shade junk is what it is.
I’ve had all of them and wouldn’t want any of them for an 8 hour shift
TIGER 🐅 🐅 HOOD. Fibermetel Weldon it's the Hood they give at hire in n the Hood i can leave n still b there weldit
😮💨😮💨
Miller Digital Infinity beats all of these hands down..the T94i is far superior to everything here.
