Will these googles protect you from HHO welding?

I am not sure about HHO but they do not have any cushion between the hard plastic and the face and are horribly heavy and uncomfortable. I can only wear them for 30 seconds before I'm in pain.

They fit really well and seal around my face - enough to trust it to keep burning sparks away from my eyes. As far as chemicals go, I cannot say. They are much better fitting than the goggles I used in high school however.

No - a lens hood eliminates flaring & is great protection for your front lense element.+

This might actually be a question best answered by the company itself (www.allencompany.net), I have no reservations myself in using them not only for elimination of light glare and "extra" eye and lens protection over my prescription glasses but what I am protecting against are small particles that may be associated to a non-full burn of gun-powder, as well as shell casing from mine or a partner nearby when they eject out of a side port. Larger chunks of wood, sawdust, or small shards of metal from say a missed screw or nail in the wood would be slowed down for sure on impacting these glasses but when it comes to your eyes you can never be to carful.

I have used this for TIG, and did not notice any problems with the helmet or my eyes, but perhaps the electronics aren't designed for high frequency shielding and will not last under the stress. All I can say is, I have used it for this without problem.

The helmet is OK for any skill level of mig or stick welding. The advantage is you can see where your weld will start and no constant flipping up & down of the helmet. The disadvantage is cost. A typical non-auto darking helmet is really cheap, but depends how steady your hand is when you flip down the non-see thru helmet as to where your weld bead will be!

Yes, just make sure you wear appropriate eye, head, and body protective gear!

According to their website, Yes. O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating for reliable performance in all environments.

Yes, The operator should have welding experience. Use straight argon shielding gas, correct filler rod and tungsten..

i dont know about that, i have used it for tig and fcaw which is dual shield, no problems, i know it is not warranteed by the manufacturer for overhead welding but i use mine for it anyways. two other students in my shop are using the same helmet for tig. we like our helmets even though we dream of four or five hundred dollar ones but as far as i know and have seen overhead is not reccomended and tig is a process this helmet does in fact work well with from experience.

No. For dangerous chems I use uvex goggles that make a seal with your face to reduce the chance of things running into your eye if not directly splashed.

I'm not what type of heat you have in mind but I've been using them for landscaping purposes in 100 degree weather & they hold up great but like said I don't know about other fields where high heat is involved such as wielding (seeing as how I only use them for landscape & gardening purposes) I'm not a welding expert but I don't these gloves would be well serving in an environment like that I think these are more build for construction. I hope that answers your question

Eye protection is very good. Explosion protection? I doubt it. It's light weight plastic. So don't work on full propane tanks with it. Cheers!

I would rather have an exhaust or weld outside. There are special masks with positive pressure for welders.

I am not quite sure if the goggles are up to the impact safety standards required. They may be ok but you might want to check with the paintball host company before hand.

These are the thickness and composition of like a surgical glove. They might melt if They come in direct contact with the iron, but they might help protect from steam.

No, it does not. Previous replies have stated it will compromise the effectiveness of the safe (water damage). Know a welder?
