Hi, Dear Sirs, After using your helmet for two months, we are
completely satisfied with it and expect to equip more of our men with it very
soon. As we are a heavy industrial job shop (our customers
are steel mills, chemical plants and mining machinery outfits) we have tried the
electronic lenses, and found them to fragile and expensive for our environments,
and we and our worker's comp carrier felt the electronic lenses posed a
liability problem by allowing that initial arc flash, particularly when doing
repetitive tacking on large weldments. In Kentucky, workers have
gotten large awards on claims with much less merit. Please let us know if there are any suppliers in our
area, on the chance we may already be dealing with them for other items. Sincerely, Sexton Welding Company, Inc. Dear Mr. Sirs; We manufacture tubular steel farm gates. While these products are quite large, they actually are built with many small welds. Flipping up the visor on a standard helmet becomes very tedious and time-consuming. In an effort to save time, we tried a few of your helmets. They were a success. After a little practice, the welders became proficient opening the lens with their chin. As we hoped, productivity increased. Since then, we have purchased many more of your helmets. And now, all our 12 welders use them. Sincerely, LIFE-TIME GATE CO. Hello,
Sorry for the delay in getting back with you, but I just now checked my E-mail.
I wondered what happened ,figured it was a shipping snafu. I will ship the 2
''flip up thingys" back to you Monday. Don't worry about the shipping, shit
happens, I know how it is. Thank you for the great service and the wonderful
helmets you build. I found out about you from a guy named Chuck Holloway, of
Holloway welding. I've known Chuck for years and , was on a job with him a
couple years ago when I noticed his 'peculiar' hood. When I asked him about it,
he showed me how it worked and said it was the only one he uses. He then said I
should run as fast as I could to the computer and buy at least one, or two. He
told me if I did not fall in love with it, that he'd buy it from me. Well, guess
what, I didn't sell it to him. I have 2 or3 of them and they have changed the
way I weld! I will never own anything but an Accu-strike hood again. Sorry for
the long winded response, but wanted to let you know how much I love your
product and service. Again, I will ship those out to you Monday. Shade tree mechanic Not being a professional welder I need all the help I can get. The Accu-Strike is a great help to the shaky handed hobby welder! No more sticks stuck to the part or burnt marks on that innocent and expensive piece near the weld area! I am still not a great welder, but I now hit my mark every time like I was! Thanks Bunches Kelly Bumgarner
Hello from Australia, Dear Mr. Shafer, Just wanted you to know that it took two minutes to get my new welding hood adjusted, and 30 seconds to get used to using it !!!!!!!! I've been using it continuously ever since and it is by far the best welding hood I've ever used, electronic or standard !! Sincerely, Anthony Cuellar UA 342, Steamfitter Local 102, Millwright
First off let me tell you what a great helmet you have .. I weld production
and man o man is this the cats meow .. the visor operates without ANY effort ..
Very VERY welder friendly and I think you may get some orders from my people
from my shop .. a better alternative to auto-glass than anything else , with no
over the days time eye burn .. James Wilkinson - Fremont, IN HI, I,m wanting to order a new accu-strike helmet, and some replacement parts for my old accustrike helmet. I also would like to tell you that the accustrike helmet Is the best helmet ever !! I work for a tractor trailer suspension company, and the pace is very fast. Your helmet Is In a class of It's own!! Thank You , Jerry Haskett, Lebanon IN
Hi,, I bought an accu-strike from you all,, about 10 years ago,, and lately ,, I had been wondering,, where I could get another one,, as mine is about wore out,, I have even had to do some repairs on it,, I had lost all my paper work on it ,,right after I got it,, and so I didn't even know what it was called,,, and I have never met any one else,, that had ever seen one like mine,, Today I was cleaning out an old drawer,, full of junk and came across an add about the welding helmet,, I cranked up the DELL,, and typed in accustrike on Google,, and wow,, its like magic,, I get another chance in life to have a really great welding helmet,, thanks for having such a great product,, and for being still on the market,,, so many times,, something really good comes along,, and one day its gone,, and just can't be found,, Thank you again,, I will be calling you tomorrow to order another,,,,Best wishes,,,Jon Leithiser http://www.autobody101.com/articles/article.php?title=Mig%20Welding "Basics of Basics" MIG welding MIG Welding Basics I bought my first Accu-strike helmet back in college (Milford, Nebr.) 11 yrs ago, still have it, and have since bought two more. Other than lenses, I have not had to order a single replacement part for any helmet. I got the parts list back in 1995 figuring I would have to buy an occasional part or two, but that list has since been retired. It's better than any auto-darkening helmet I've ever seen, you never need to worry about batteries, or if "the sun is out" for the solar charged helmets, and is one of the handiest items I have ever bought. Thanks again for some great American ingenuity.
I generally never endorse products.. My last endorsement came in a conversation to God about my wife.. But I really feel compelled to give you a "two thumbs up" ,three if I had an extra, on the Accu-Strike helmet.. I spent a couple hours last night on some very critical, tiny TIG welds. The process uses .025 MIG wire as filler rod, with the smallest tungsten you can buy sharpened to a point that would draw blood from a stone.. To make matters worse the machine is not equipped with a lift arc feature.. Even set up with a magnifying lenses, tungsten placement is quite challenging.. My thoughts were if the helmet worked out for me with these conditions it would pass the test.. And it did so with flying colors!!... The only problem I had, in the first few minutes, was the overwhelming urge to flip the hood up.. Old habits die hard.. After that short learning curve the operation became a manifestation of my thoughts.. Welding is not generally one of my favorite things to do in the shop.. But until the new wears off I will be looking for any excuse I can to strike an arc.. I plan to make every effort promoting your product to fellow welders I encounter..
Thanks for an outstandingly functional piece of equipment..
Larry B.
By the way.. If the business is ever for sale drop me a line.. And
for the love of Pete, stay with made in USA.. Don't sell out to cheaper
production off shore.. That is always my first purchasing parameter..
Hi, my helmet arrived here in Australia yesterday, Tues. 23 Oct. all packaged up nicely. Dear Sir, I have had an "Accu-Strike" welding helmet
for 12 years. Other than a few parts, it is still the original hood. IT'S
TOUGH! It blew off my head one day while on a ladder 15 ft. in the
air. I call it my 3rd hand, especially when heliarcing small
stainless parts using a filler rod. By opening your jaw a person can
locate your weld area without moving. By the way a person can chew
gum yet tool. It also increases productivity, especially on spotting
expanded metal, welding sheets, square tube and pipe. By just
lowering your jaw, a person can locate and weld twice as fast as lifting up your
hood and locating. "Accu-Strike" also improves out of
position welding and getting into tight spots - like under trucks. I
have 5 welders working for me and until I got them their own hoods I had to look
to see who was using mine. I feel it has made my job a lot easier and the
"Accu-Strike" has been one of the great advances in welding since the
wire feed. Yours truly, Gerald F. Westhoff Hello, I ordered an Accu strike hood about a year ago, and of course I absolutely love it. A couple months ago I was welding some handrail and when I ducked down I caught the knob on the right side of the helmet on either the handrail or a post and broke it off. I would like to order the replacement parts so I can keep using it again properly. Right now I have a zip tie holding it together but I have been using my $600 Speedglass hood but still prefer to go back to the Accu Strike. I have told a few friends about the hood and a few want to order one as well so I told them I would get prices and order it all together to combine shipping. I will be purchasing at least three hoods at the moment and possibly more. Could you give me a break down in prices for the hoods with and without the fan, shade 9 and 10 gold lenses and replacement inner and outer lenses? Oh and one last thing, do you have a distributor in Australia already? I have a small business here and wouldn't mind distributing these awesome hoods if it were a possibility. I'm located in Sydney.

My Mission StatementI worked as a welder for six years in piece work production and three years in fabricating, so I know what it's like to work all day with a welding helmet on your head. I have tried to market some great innovations, some that I had used myself and knew they would make life easier and safer for others. I have tried for several years, but could not get the big wholesalers and distributors to promote great products for reasons like: Unless people ask for your product we can't order it, or we carry a competing product and make a much larger profit because they sell for a higher price. And the list goes on!!! Well, thanks to the Internet you can bookmark this site as your place to find great products the Big Wholesalers & Distributors don't think you need, or want to carry! (I do have a few distributors who do a good job of promoting my products, so please check with them first or call for the dealer nearest you.) Here is a list of dealers with helmets and inventory:: (If you are a distributor and have stock or inventory and would like to be added please email me) Airgas Northeast, Hamden, CT (203)865-3718 Airgas N.
