Required Items
- Welding Hood, any make or model works, buy something comfortable, durable and lenses are easily accessible. Look into hoods that have a grinding and cutting feature. This will keep you from needed to wear a face shield when grinding or cutting.
- Welding Gloves. I would recommend Purchasing multiple pairs. I prefer the Tillman brand. The light, medium and gauntlet style are all useable. I would recommend a pair of each.
- Welding Coat. Whether it be a green, flame resistant (FR) coat or heavy duty leather it all comes down to preference.
- Safety Glasses are a must!!!
- Steel toe leather boots. Also look into purchasing leather laces.
- 100% cotton jeans. No dickies or cargo style.
