Pipeliner VS Tigerhood

[@willbecker5632]

I've used both for stick, mig, flux core, and Tig .... I started with the tiger hood cut 2.5 inches off the bottom and fit it to a hard hat and then I got my pipeliners 2 of them ... One I just cut 2 in off the bottom and fit it to rachet back headgear, and the other I cut 2inches off the bottom and a half inch off the top, then installed a flip front and threw that hood on a halo quick connect just because I fell in love with the fit of the pipeliner hood ..... I sold my tigerhood soon after .... Both my pipeliners hoods are going strong after 5 years of continuous use ... I do have to say I regret selling my tigerhood I should have kept it for the headgear parts .....

People only like the pipeliner for the hype. Non trimmed the tiger hood is lighter than the pipeliner, it's has a flip and it clears all hard hats and respirators. The only thing that sets them apart is a pipeliner is harder to crack and it obviously looks better.

[@MadRhetorik.]

Lighter? I have both and my tiger hood is like 3-4x the weight but it’s also pushing 40 years old. Maybe the new ones are lighter idk

[@luccadifabio8271]

There are cheaper options than pipeliners that works great and have almost the same shape, and weight less

[@monarchlifestyle6299]

Pipe liner cloud is carbon fiber and only weighs 9 oz. If you want a flip front style just buy the attachment from weld tube that goes on a pipeliner and only adds 2 oz. I have been welding with an Optrel 2.0 clear and it weighs 17 oz. It is basically one of the lightest in the game but this pipe line cloud will cut the weight in half.

I don't use my flip up to grind. The sole purpose of MY flip up is to chip slag away from welds.....

[@BRENT3143945]

Or useing a grinder.

[@jeffs.5882]

Oohhh aren't you a badass.lol

[@maddymorrow3976]

okay, the smaller hood, when you put new headgear if you did have to, did you have any issues with the right side of it not wanting to screw on cause it didn’t stick out far enough from the thing that catches the hood so it doesn’t fall? my screw thing doesn’t want to be long enough

[@BRENT3143945]

New headgear? I've put Jackson headgear in a pipe liner before,it's not that hard. Has to drill holes for stops .

[@BRENT3143945]

Or are you using oem headgear? Dm me

How do you swap out lenses and clears on the tiger hood?

[@falkenhagen.406]

There's a retainer piece on the backside of the flip-lens' housing that you take out that's used to keep your filter and clear lenses in place, and from falling out of the lens changing slot. As mentioned, this slot from earlier is on the side of the flip-lens' plastic housing that your filter and clear slide into. Just gotta do the parts in order... From outside to inside: Clear, Filter, Retainer. It's as basic if not more basic, than an auto hood once you've done it. As well as the hood comes with an instruction anyways. As for the clear that is behind the flip lens that you'd see when the hood is "open" and you're grinding, or chipping slag, or something... That one just sits inside a retainer built into the shell of the hood... All 3 lenses are 4x2.25in

How do I modify it to put in an auto darken lens?

[@BRENT3143945]

I cut mine with a grinder.

[@nesscole8253]

Can a pipeliners hood be used for all types of welding??

[@spencermcshane4040]

Yeah

[@willbecker5632]

Yes I use my 2 pipeliners constantly for mig, flux core, Tig and stick, and you can even fit them on a hard hat if you take a half inch off the top though I highly recommend removing 2 inches off the bottom so it won't hit you in the neck when looking straight down if you have to

[@lafierasgamefarm258]

How much do the pup liner run for? Thinking about getting one for my welding class

[@monarchlifestyle6299]

Look into pipeliner cloud. It’s carbon fiber and only weighs 9 oz

I keep a hard hat on my tiger hood.

Tiger hood, or huntsman

[@steveward8652]

I’ve had both, don’t care for the tiger hood.

I put mine on a hard hat.

[@MBwelding]

I found the Honeywell 706gy is a great combo it’s the pipeline with the tiger flip front I really like it I painted mine black but other then that it’s been great I have both the pipeline and Tiger hood also but the 706 is really my favorite

[@garypostell5268]

Requires no battery 👍

[@BRENT3143945]

I have since bought a auto darkening lens for the pipeliner and use it the most but keep a few backup lens for it just in case.

[@BRENT3143945]

Wow it looks so clean in this video,it looks alot different now.

[@mattfoster6203]

@@BRENT3143945 What auto darkening lens did you put in your pipeliner? I am slightly hesitant to cut into my pipeliner for installing a flip front that will accommodate a solar auto darkening lens

[@itsyaboimat2393]

I've got a pipeliner with Sellstrom flip front , with an ArcOne Singles 240 HD, it kicks so much ass , I love the fact that the pipeliner goes all the back, keeps it nice and up and out of the way , I figured use the KISS method and keep it rugged,

[@BRENT3143945]

I want to try a Huntsman with a flip it's $75 I figured it would be the best of both worlds. Light and with a flip. I keep my pipeliner at work and the tigerhood in the truck/home use

[@94KDX]

@@BRENT3143945 the huntsman with a flip front is very heavy. It's as heavy as my Lincoln 3350

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

Why not just buy a tiger hood?

[@itsyaboimat2393]

@@Mikey-ym6ok personal I bought a pipeliner because well the oilfield guys abuse the shit out of these and they just keep on trucking quite literally the only thing I wish was do able would be to put my 2450 head gear in it and that'd be my dream hood
