I am going to purchase a mid-grade auto darkening welding helmet. One of my preferences is going to be a made in USA helmet, along w/ the typical things you would consider when purchasing an AD welding helmet.
I rec'd an email back from Speedglass that their helmets are made in Nebraska. Haven't heard back from Jackson. I have been told Miller helmets are made in Korea, as I suppose then the Hobarts are too. I'll have to confirm this.
While I continue to dig into deciding which helmet best fits my needs & price point can anyone confirm where any of your helmets where made and who was the mfgr and model? I'm willing to bet its more a situation of "assembled in USA of foreign or domestic components".
Not interested in chinese stuff for sure so please don't suggest how much you like your HF helmet. Because I'm not asking that and I won't really care anyway.
I'm trying to make my purchase in the spirit of this THREAD: Made in America - Good Story and support the US economy rather than the chinese.
Thanks
