i tot i share my review on it since i just started using it weeks ago. i had spedglas, miller ti 9400, fiber metal, jackson, most wif flip front. i was tired of having to flip open to grind then closed it then flip hood up so i can c my start.not to mention neck pain. i still use adf for other work like low amp tig, or alot of taggin. THE MAIN REASON i like bout accustrike is i hav a clear view when im grindin or need to c my work not shade 3 and green, and hands free operation!! try it!!!
I'd like to see a video from someone who's bought this for a independent review,This is the only video on youtube that I know of about the accu strike(I am leaning toward getting this) and would like to see more from others.
well im guessing it takes some time to get as good as this guy cuz damn look at him go. plus some people just like the autodark ones i do but then agian i havent tried one of those chin ones(but i want to)...and i hear ya i like looking through a clean lens to from my old flip one
The welder did not know he was being filmed. He is paid more for exceeding the quota. I personally welded over 8000 welds per day myself.
This helmet becomes as automatic as opening and closing your eyes. He is not getting flashed!
Who cares about chewing gum? I would rather look through a clear lens then the shaded lens the light activated helmets have. I also enjoy knowing my lens is dark before the arc not 1/25000 of a second after.
Yea. That is why i do not like the autodark helmets. It does darken in so many seconds. But, add that up for around 300 days in a year. That is how many times you have actually looked at the arc before it darken'd. The helmet you are using is very unique and fast. Honestly, i wouldn't want to use it because of what they would expect from you for the speed you go. Especially, in production. That would suck! Cool helmet!
Like I said in a earlier post. This is unstaged and unedited. The guy using the Accu-Strike helmet was not aware he was being filmed. This company has close to 100 welders using this helmet. They are making car seats. So the welds meet strict safety standards.
There's no eye fatigue from the initial flash that you get with light activated helmets. Plus it doesn't need batteries to operate, and it doesn't slow down in cold weather like light activated helmets do.
Auto darks have a shade 3 or so darkness before you start to weld. That's bad enough, but over time it gets smoky and scratched and you end up lifting the helmet to see, but not with the Accu-Strike chin operated helmet. It also works great in team welding, auto dark helmets all go dark when someone around you starts to weld, again not a problem for this hood. It's also dark before the arc, since you know when you're going to weld. Post 2 of 3 read next comment
There is an easily adjustable chin strap allowing the welder to slightly lower his jaw just a bit, and the visor opens, relax chin pressure and it closes. You can also open it a little further and the visor will stay open on it's own, after which a slight nod will close it. This feature is great for grinding or chipping. The big advantage over auto dark helmets is the big Clear lens to see your work through. Post 1 of 3 please read next comments
Your correct. But it's freeing both hands to work with regardless of how fast you want to go. It's also clear when it's open, unlike auto dark helmets that are shaded before they darken to prevent the initial flash from leaving spots in your eyes.
Dark before the arc not after. Clear lens not a shade 3 to view through. Clear lens to grind with. Does not need to be warmed up to operate in cold weather. No batteries or fragil high tech equipment to go dead or malfunction. Just a simple, safe, affordable, time tested helmet.
People always assume it works harder then it does, over 90,000 sold, not one case of arthitis in the JAW. I do know of several welders with neck problems from conventional helmets though.
Better then an auto darkening: Big clear viewing area before you start the arc. Dark before the arc not after. No batteries or high tech junk that may malfunction causing eye damage. No need to warm the helmet up for it to operate in cold weather like you do with an auto dark. Just a simple idea that works!
On the contrary, they offer a bigger viewing area and a clear lens, not a shade 3 that the auto darks have before they darken. Also no minor flash that the auto darks need to activate the lens, that's why they aern't clear to begin. You control this hood, your not banking your eyes on some new high tech lens that may not work right all the time. This helmet is time tested with over 90,000 sold. Don't take chances with your eyes.

Here are a few reasons: Speedglas price $380.00 Accu-Strike price $89.50. Speedglas viewing area is shaded and small. Accu-Strike is clear and big.

Yes, there is a safety lens for grinding and chipping. The visor stays up by itself when opened all the way. A slight (adjustable) nod closes it.

Dust mask works ok. It takes very little chin movement, similar to talking, so no problems with a sore chin.
