Product Details
Forney Series auto-darkening welding helmets are designed for the experienced do-it-yourselfer (DIY), light contractor, farmer, and rancher, emphasizing ease of use, reliability, and visible value. The helmets feature a lightweight, impact-resistant, and fireproof shell, complemented by dual crown strap headgear with multi-directional adjustment for enhanced comfort. The quick-fit, 5-point adjustable geared headband, equipped with a sweatband mechanism, significantly reduces head and neck strain during prolonged use. The viewing area spans 5.97 square inches (3.62" x 1.65") and provides high-definition true color clarity for a natural viewing experience. It incorporates two optical arc sensors to protect against arc flash hazards, along with a 1/1/1/2 optical clarity rating that ensures a clear and uniform view. The helmet's UV/IR coating minimizes lens scratching and discoloration. Performance features include an external shade selector knob with a grind option for quick modifications, and internal switch controls for sensitivity and delay settings. The variable shade selection ranges from DIN 9 to 13, making it operable for TIG welding at 5 amps, with a rapid switching speed of 1/25,000 per second. The design incorporates solar cells powered by non-replaceable 3V lithium batteries (CR2032) and automatic on/off functionality. Compliance with safety standards is assured, as these helmets meet or exceed all related CE standards (DIN and ISO), EN166, EN175, EN379, and ANSI Z87.1. Forney also offers replacement parts and accessories, including 2-pack and 5-pack options for outer and inner protective lenses.
