i have learned how to 'nod the helmet' which is helping me get my work done faster.
the problem is that most of the time each nod is accompanied by a sharp pain as one of my hairs is pulled out of my head by the helmet pivot.
any advice on this?
thanks, Sam
Get a haircut! Sorry but I couldn't resist. You might try putting a small piece of masking tape over the suspected locations until you pinpoint it. You might then be able to modify the area. I wear a beany but in my case it wouldn't make any difference. It's just that a burn directly on my scalp has gotten my attention too many times. Randy

I second Ted's advice, save your neck the abuse it gets by nodding. I wish they were available back when I started welding, now I deal with a _real_ pain in the neck, no pun intended....... The cost of a ADH is peanuts compared to neck pains later. ;>( Phil

The problem goes away as you go bald. Trust me
I too had neck pain years ago I attributed to welding. I had hurt my back and went to a chiropractor and while he was xraying, I told him of the pains in my neck. Come to find out, my neck was 1 1/4" too far forward. After about 7 adjustments, my pain went away and now the only pain I have is the people I work for. Something to maybe to look into.
