Reply:Kevin has one and shows it off. I think it's cool and a great idea, but I think it's odd to have to open your mouth. I don't know maybe it's not that bad if you actually use it.Torchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer

Reply:Dum. Get a worklight so you're not stuck in such a dark hole all day and use an auto darkening helmet.Welding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com

Reply:So you open your mouth to raise hood and see, hmmmmm...weld - breathe toxic air -weld - breathe toxic air..and so on
Reply:Having the video camera running and showing the two helmets in action probably amped up the dude with the fancy new toy.  He most likely took a 30 minute smoke break when the cameras left the shop floor.

Reply:Something about that video is eerily creepy. I think it reminds me of the creepy animatronic animal bands that play on stage at kids restaurants.
Reply:Production anything is not for me. I might be able to do that for a month before I ate a bullet.  That is about the pace I like to carry at work. I usually start early, work through lunch and someone is yelling at me to go home at quitting time. I don't tip toe through the tulips.They are trying to sell helmets you think they should have put the helmet on the shop slug and had him give the demo?  You know the sort that only rushes to punch in and leave?  The rest of they day they leave slimy trails while sipping coffee so they can have the energy to do nothing.
Reply:You don't have to open your mouth. With the chin strap adjusted correctly you only move your chin about 1/4 inch. As for chewing gum just leave the strap a little loose.It doesn't bother my tmj at allFrom the desk of Kevin CaronTrying to be the best me I can!www.kevincaron.comAHP Alpha Tig 200x MillerMatic 251Miller Syncrowave 200

Reply:An old timer I worked w/ 40 yrs ago told me of a similar design he used working in a production shop shortly after WW 2, so I guess it's not really a new mousetrap.                                       MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
