Welding Helmets - Do You Really Know Which Helmet You Want?
There are many types of welding helmets, and many prices!
First: Chuck that hand-held helmet as soon as you can!
Second: At LEAST get a $20 basic black flip-lens type.
Third: For about $35 you can get a large lens flip-up regular helmet. (Hobart #770003, via Amazon.com).
Fourth: If you've got $60 get a basic auto-darkening helmet from weldinghelmetstore.com, or wherever else.
Fifth: If you can afford to, shop around at a local welding shop to see if there's any that you can get. If not go to Craigslist, or similar place. (Example: $65 late model "auto" in Longbeach, Ca.)
Helmets can be anywhere from about $20 to $300 PLUS!
But Before You Buy:
READ THESE DETAILS & SUGGESTIONS:
There's more to consider that just COSTS:
1) Lens type...
2) Variable or fixed shade...
3) Switching Times from light to dark (& back)...
4) How it's powered...
5) Safety...does it meet the latest standards?
*Lens Type: Auto-darkening or Regular Lens:
Auto-darkening:
1) No need to flip the viewing lid or the whole helmet.
2) If you're working in tight places, you have more room to work.
3) You can set up the work-pieces & the rod (or wire gun), easier without flipping the hood up & down.
4) It's easier on your neck, without all the flipping.
5) You can SEE your work-piece setup, but still have protection once you strike the arc.
6) They are powered by battery &/or solar.
Regular lens:
1) They are cheaper & OK for anyone just beginning.
2) When you're ready to do a lot of welding, you will likely want to change to auto-darkening.
3) More chances of getting flash-burns & having your work-pieces move while flipping.
4) Most have a much smaller viewing area.
Variable or Fixed Shade:
1) Fixed shade: If you'll be welding at similar amperages & welding types, a fixed shade of a #10 would work for most of us.
2) Variable Shade: If you will be doing very much higher AMP welding (above 200 AMPS), then you'll want the shade to vary to #12 or more, depending on what your doing.
3) Switching times: (light to dark, etc), to help protect your eyes).
* They range from about 1/3600th of a second to 1/16000th. The faster they are the more cost. Eye fatigue can result from the slower speeds.
How they're powered:
* Battery: Lithium for longer lasting / Or alkaline batteries for cheaper replacements.
Safety:
*ANZI Z87 - 2003 or newer are the safer ones. Older ones may fatigue your eyes more, due to how fast/slow they change shades/darkness.
About the Author
I started working as a Journey-level welder for Weyerheauser Timber Company more than 20 years ago. That was the same year that I became a certified welder in Washington State.
I weld today because it's cool & interesting! If you can DREAM it, you can probably WELD it!
My website: http://www.arc-welding-and-beyond.com
The purpose of my website is to educate the beginning welder in ALL RELATED skill areas of welding: running great beads, designing, preparing, layout, finishing, & troubleshooting problems.
"Welding is more than just running beads!"
Where to buy auto darkenning welding helmet/mask in Singapore?
Thank you in advance!
I suggest you look in yellow pages under tools or safety equipment, protective clothing etc.

Auto darkening is a good thing to have..
An amazing Afrikaner – wrong about everything
Terre’Blanche was worse than a segregationalist. He was a supremacist Amid the myriad incompatible narratives of South Africa, the late Eugene Terre’Blanche always occupied a fascinating and perhaps unique position. He was entirely wrong about absolutely everything. Quite a skill.
