What to look for on your next welding hood

Showing my collection of welding hoods. Some good, some bad, some I will always use, and some I will never get to use again. Tekware Moto 90, Harbor Freight Titanium, Deko Welding hood, pipeliner style classics.

I love the cheap Hobart hood. Cut the springs shorter so I can flick the flip front down easier. But I use a fixed shade usually. Just upgraded to a carbon fiber hood with some vintage view lenses. The benefits of that size of lens is how common they are so clear lenses are everywhere and dirt cheap. And there’s the most lenses available for the 2x4.25”

Cut your clear leaned from a new grinding shield

I would rather have one nice hood than seven cheap hoods. Buy once, cry once.

1:16 Can you polish it?

[@AllStarWeldingSC]

Probably. But not that worried about it.
