[Wozzaaah]

Think I've found a better one than the Parweld... just putting one through it's paces at the moment

I presume the standards are the same in Ireland as the UK and Europe to standards you need to look out for on the box is EN175 and ANSIZ87.1 my helmet is vision Guardian it wasn't cheap at €160
from my local tool supplier the shell is made of impact resistance polypropylene there is no flash and a cigarette lighter would trigger it
after all if I go blind I won't be buying any more tools

Yeah, after hearing only good news about the Parweld I think I can speak for everyone that we're very interested

I always go for esab Eyetech helmets, Have bought a few new, but they are very often on ebay and i have paid between 30 and 60 quid for new/lightly used ones. I rate the eyetech helmets highly. Also take the air feed packs for any prolonged welding

Never drinking again

You, matey, need to get off the Stella and drink nice beer. Then you might appreciate the taste instead of drinking it like water that's a bit alcoholy and ending up guttered. I bet you start the evening on alcopops .

 

[Welderpaul]

Alcopops? I never drink anything that is blue!
