Klein New KARBN Hard Hats Class C and E and the Difference Between Them

[@mudpuppy318]

Just bought the class E because it was on sale. I have a big old melon head and the back of my head hits on the indent from the rear accessory holder. I adjusted the suspension so it works now but beware if you have a big head

[@farmerdave7965]

I have a hard hat collection. My favorite is my MSA Skullgard fiberglass hat.

Hi Bill from Sparky Channel Great demonstration of hard hats Definitely a fan of Klein Thanks

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks Jeff! ⚡

[@ccadama]

@Sparky Channel. Thanks Bill for the details on these Klein hard hats. PPE have definitely improved over the years. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks! You guys stay safe and well too!

[@jeremyrodriguez5923]

I didn't know that having a vented hard hat is not good against electricity. Most of the guys I work with have klein vented hard hats. We mainly do low voltage though.

[@Socalfishingkids]

When I do high voltage loto you can't have holes on anything, clothes included. Electricity finds its ways.

[@YFPO2D]

Thankyou for specifying the class types.

[@SparkyChannel]

No problem.

[@jonanderson5142]

Electrical Contractor here Mainly Residential I never wear one I hate them they never stay on my big head I made a osha guy hang out with me and pick it up every time I sent over he had to pick it up and had it to me he finally understood ...

[@notsure7874]

They usually understand just fine - they just don't care. I'm not wearing one on residential job unless theres carpenters or somebody on a 2nd floor / roof. Last thing I want is some knuckle dragging tree slayer dropping a 2x4 on my noggin.

Ah yes, the all-important ponytail slot.

[@SparkyChannel]

Absolutely! ⚡

[@badasssnow]

What's anybody's opinion whether the black colored one would attract and retain heat? I really like the black one over the other colors. Though it's 100 degrees today and I'm wondering how much of a heat difference, if any it would it be?

[@lowvoltageghost888]

I think heat will always be heat, I have this Hardhat and a Skullguard MSA and heat is the same, although the air vents is a plus on the Klein Hardhat to keep a bit of airflow. Special here in Houston.

[@edsherwood2173]

I’m an electrician and screw it im getting class c. Don’t plan on getting electrocuted

[@kenbrown2808]

I noticed you made sure to mention the accessory slot for the ear and face protection, in this one.

[@SparkyChannel]

Live and learn. Thanks Ken! ⚡

[@kenbrown2808]

@@SparkyChannel I was on a job site where we were issued earplugs and then we swiped earmuffs from another crew and wore both.

[@SparkyChannel]

@@kenbrown2808 I do prefer earmuffs because then your ears are protected from flying debris. I've never tried both. It must have been really noisy!

[@kenbrown2808]

@@SparkyChannel that it was. I prefer face shields to glasses, too. Glasses have only ever fogged up or given me a clear view of what I'm about to get in my eye.

Thanks brother for the update looking forward to getting one

[@SparkyChannel]

No problem 👍

Ponytail wearer here, subbed for the shout out

[@SparkyChannel]

Welcome to Sparky Channel. Thanks!

[@chicagonews1878]

Wouldn’t that color add to the heat while outside?

[@SparkyChannel]

Perhaps a little. Black would be really hot.

[@jonathanhoward1497]

I wondered the same

[@BigmoRivera]

Very Cool SPARKY⚡️🤓👍🏽

[@smokeyray5017]

Awesome review! Thanks Mr. Sparky.

[@SparkyChannel]

My pleasure, thanks!

[@orascreencasts]

Minor typo -- in the text associated with your links, both the Class C and Class E have the same description -- both say that they are vented.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks so much Chuck. I really appreciate that. I changed the Class E hard hat description to "non-vented" while the Class C description remains "vented".

[@davidmunoz8326]

Would you recommend a hard hat this nice or expensive for a first year apprentice just starting

[@notsure7874]

Depends how much money you have, and how much other stuff you need to get. If you're not tight on cash, the hat alone is about 40 something bucks, but you can get a passable one for less than half that. Don't show up with a fancy hard hat saying you can't afford a hammer - but the cheap ones suck ass. This isn't even really an expensive hard hat, you can easy spend 100 bucks on one without any accessories.

[@AzNightmare]

*Does a class E have the same amount of impact protection as a class C?*

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes.

[@AzNightmare]

@@SparkyChannel *Darn... I paid more for a Class C helmet instead of a cheaper Class E... should I refund it?*

[@MrStanwyck]

Those are some pretty spiffy looking hard hats....

[@SparkyChannel]

Yeah, they look cool!

[@carriv]

Hey Bill! Have you seen the new real carbon fiber hard hat from Klein? Let me know what you think about it. Hope all is well!

Thanks Bill in going to get one, the electrician one.....

Annoying that "carbon" is just an aesthetic, and they aren't actually carbon fiber.

chips too easily , prob a bad match for intended purpose

The next video should be how to fix a HOT/GROUND reversed receptacle.

[@notsure7874]

its usually an open neutral with a load plugged in and turned on. Take all the loads off and the tester will read open neutral instead.
