Klein Hard Hat Review - Comfort & Convenience

[@thegamerprofessor8416]

Solid review and the constructive criticism/spots for improvement was spot on.

[@ContractorsPOV]

Thanks Professor 👍 I appreciate the comment!

[@trimmercurtis]

Thanks for the follow up and real world review

[@ContractorsPOV]

I appreciate you watching, thank you 👍 if you pick one up, I'd love to know how you like it.

[@nicklewis1173]

Love your reviews man, always 100% honest. Not many people today know how to give constructive criticism without being ignorant. Well done sir. Thank you for this review. Been looking into a new lid that’s more comfortable. I seen they now offer it with the light and in carbon fiber black. And also now have side vents. Thanks again.

[@ContractorsPOV]

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you watching. They have a fan for these now as well. I have a video for that as well. 👍

[@notsure7874]

theres more options on lights now, idk about then. I got a 300 lumen one, theres a 400 lumen one, they also will do both spot and flood at the same time so 3 settings. Then theres a light bar only one that's a couple hundered, high low but only a bar of LEDs no reflectors. More options though. I got the 300 because USB C the 400 is micro usb.

[@ContractorsPOV]

I bought all of them and I'm doing some testing and getting ready to do a video. And you are right, there was only one available at the time of the video.

Is the rechargable lamp watterproof??

[@ContractorsPOV]

Definitely not waterproof and it doesn't have an IP rating but I have used mine in the rain without any issues. I think if they had a better charging port cover it could have a good IP rating but it falls open too easily.

[@joelalanis3602]

How do I recharge the battery on the headlamp

[@ContractorsPOV]

Which headlamp do you have? There are several now. If it is orange, it takes AAA batteries. Then there are others with micro-USB and others with USB-C.

[@MrThememyselfandi]

Nice review 👍

[@ContractorsPOV]

Thanks! And thanks for watching 👊

[@chief9269]

Will this fit a size 8 1/2 head ??

[@ContractorsPOV]

Definitely, my son has a huge head and it's one of the only ones that actually fit.

[@chief9269]

@ContractorsPOV thank you

[@go2four]

The Klein one is just a rebranded Ergodyne Skullerz hard hat.

[@ContractorsPOV]

Yep, absolutely. Do you like them?

[@Southernboy302]

@@ContractorsPOV hey, do you know how well they fit on large heads? Their headlamps aren't strong enough. 1000 lumens should be the base. But a lot of lights like the Fenix and Olights run way higher lumens.

[@ContractorsPOV]

@@Southernboy302 my son is a large fella and has an extremely large head, like ball caps don't fit him kinda large. We set him up with one and with proper adjustment of the suspension, it fit him well and he said it was comfortable. I don't know if that helps, but I don't have any better references.

[@Southernboy302]

@@ContractorsPOV Yeah that helps. I'm between a medium and large in the MSA Vgard hard hats at my work. They sit really high on my head and I dang near can't keep it on my head in the places I work (industrial electrician in an aluminum mill). Most times I just take it off bc if it. Been contemplating getting a Klein or Ergodyne... or maybe even a Milwaukee... but I'm kinda leaning towards the ones without the front brim and having the chin strap would be useful in a lot of situations. I can make a different headlamp work on them. Thanks for your quick reply!

[@robertd6925]

How long does it take for a full charge?

[@ContractorsPOV]

If completely drained, it takes about 3 hours to charge. I have 2 of them so I charge one over night.

[@erincook6007]

Check out the LIFT carbon fiber hard hats if you see them.. they are expensive but by far the most lightweight comfortable ones I’ve ever had. No experience with this one though I’ll check it out!

[@ContractorsPOV]

Do the Lift hats have built in headlamp holders?

[@erincook6007]

contractors POV No witch may be a dealbreaker depending what you do. That being said the material choice and build quality is ridiculously good, maybe even overkill.

[@ContractorsPOV]

@@erincook6007 I probably should do a review on it, like you said, it is a bit pricey though. Perhaps I'll hit them up to see if they want to send me a review unit? Never know.

[@Colincamper]

Yeah I just ordered my lift carbon fiber hardhat 50/50 white and black

[@WheresTheM3tal]

I went and tried on several hard hats at my local hardware store recently and the LIFT hard hats were not only the most expensive, but was above and beyond, even in just the few minutes I wore it, the most UNCOMFORTABLE hard hat I’ve ever tried! A waste of money IMO.

[@robertd6925]

Is thr pad removable?

[@ContractorsPOV]

Yes, the top and forehead pads are removable and washable. They sell replacements on Amazon. Kinda pricey in my opinion, but they do wash up nice.

[@garywagner6036]

Is there a face shield that attaches to this hardhat?

[@ContractorsPOV]

They used to make one but it is no longer in production. I have not tried looking up a non-name brand hardhat face shield. Sorry. www.kleintools.com/catalog/hard-hat-accessories/visor-hard-hats-and-caps-clear

[@garywagner6036]

@@ContractorsPOV Thanks for the rapid response.

[@danielhong5354]

you must not wear it on the job cause the ratchet tightener is so uncomfortable. there's a piece of plastic that digs into the back of your head. it is so bad that it makes the hard hat unbearable.

[@ContractorsPOV]

Weird, I actually have worn mine every day I'm on a job site since I got it 🤔 I don't use the white one anymore because I bought the black one, but I don't have any discomfort from wearing it. My only issue so far is that my head shape sucks for all hard hats and I have to crank it tight to stay on.

[@kainoascott3803]

Buy the chin strap for it's worth it

[@gardnerwebb3749]

Klein hard hat and head lamp review, please fix title

[@nealk6387]

Try a dax lift hard hat

[@ContractorsPOV]

I've heard they are pretty comfortable. Still need the headlamp bracket though! Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

[@randyc7631]

I hate my Klein hard hat. Constantly pulls my hair out and too much movement in the harness even when it’s tight. Also there is a pointed part kind of rivet where the harness adjustment that stabs the back of my head. I can’t wait till my new one arrives and I can take a hammer drill to this POS for fun…

[@ContractorsPOV]

I've heard that a few times. Not everyone's head is the same. Hopefully you find something you like

[@sebastiancardona938]

That’s the worst baring bucket! It’s really heavy and not comfortable

[@ContractorsPOV]

It is only 1 ounce heavier than a Lift Full Brim hard had. If one ouce is heavy to you, maybe you need to work out a bit?

[@totallyfrozen]

A little too repetitive. 👎🏻

[@ContractorsPOV]

totallyfrozen oh my gosh, I know, sometimes I repeat myself way too much, or maybe I say the same thing over and over or many times I will regurgitate the same information many different times in the same video. It is tough for me to do a video and not repeat myself, pretty much boils down to the fact that I love to hear myself talk and this is mostly done by just saying the same thing over and over again. I really appreciate you pointing this out, I will try to spread out the repetition in future videos so that it doesn’t appear so obvious. Thanks again for pointing this out, I don’t think I would have figured it out otherwise. I am grateful that you pointed it out.
