Forney Industries 55731 Auto-darkening Welding Helmet

Product Description

The Forney Industries 55731 is an auto-darkening filter (ADF) welding helmet designed for use across common welding processes including MIG, TIG, and stick. The helmet features an automatic-darkening lens that reacts to arc flash, shading the lens without requiring the welder to manually flip it. The matte black shell finish provides a low-glare exterior. At 4.58 pounds per unit, it offers a manageable weight for extended use. This helmet is suited for professional welders and experienced tradespeople who need reliable eye and face protection during arc welding operations.

The 55731 is applicable to shop and field welding environments where arc welding is performed. The ADF lens eliminates the need to raise and lower a fixed-shade helmet between welds, improving workflow efficiency on fabrication, repair, and maintenance tasks. This package includes 2 units, making it a practical option for operations equipping multiple welders or maintaining a spare on-site.

Inspect the ADF lens and lens cover plates for cracks or damage before each use. Follow ANSI Z87.1 standards for eye and face protection when selecting and using welding helmets.
