The holidays are arriving soon and, like most of us, you’re probably scrambling to find the perfect gift for the welder in your life. With so many parts, accessories and apparel to choose from, it can become a little overwhelming. But don’t worry because we’ve compiled a list of the unique, efficient, beneficial, and innovative products any welder would want.
Give the Gift of Welding Gear
Everybody knows welding can be dangerous. With sparks, gas and fumes, and the inevitable flashburn, it’s important to wear the proper welding gear. And if you ask any welder, they’re always interested in a fresh pair of gloves or jacket that hasn’t been burnt through yet.
Welding Jacket $26.65-$93.55
One of the first pieces of personal protective equipment a welder needs is a welding jacket. The fabric is flame resistant and can stand environments with extremely high temperatures.
Kevlar Welding Sleeves $18.90
Welding sleeves provide additional protection because they cover any skin that may be exposed between a jacket and gloves. These sleeves are made out of kevlar material to provide ultimate protection against flames, sparks and sharp objects.
Half Mask Respirator $29.75
This respirator will protect your welder’s lungs, all while fitting easily underneath the helmet without blocking the field of vision. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit all faces and heads.
Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet $77.96-$407.55
An auto-darkening helmet is a huge advantage to any welder. It adds convenience and comfort to not constantly flip the lens ups and down.
What good would all this new gear be without a new bag to store it in?!
