I have a fibre metal pipeliner with the ratchet head gear. I know they also have the rubber band style also. What are the pros and cons of each?Lincoln AC-225 90 amp flux core
Reply:The pros of the rubber band are that the ratchet nob doesn't stick out the back when your in a really tight spot or on your back. The rubber band is field repairable with a length of surgical tubing. I think the rubber band may be a problem if you have long hair and no welding cap.
Reply:The rubber band is a PITA to get the hood on your head with welding gloves on.Dont pay any attention to meIm just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:In my very little experience, there's ratchet headgear and then there's Ratchet Headgear. The Jackson 370 system is really nice. The system on my low end Miller AD hood for hobbyists is a real annoyance. I hate it. I mention it because I wouldn't look at all ratchets the same.

Reply:Sounds like the band head gear is just a PITA. I'll stick with the ratchet.Lincoln AC-225 90 amp flux core |
