Welding Protective Gear
Welding Protective Gear
Welding involves skill, precision and power, but this trade also demands a high level of safety. With temperatures easily reaching beyond thousands of degrees and sparks flying every which way, protective gear isn’t just recommended – it’s a must. The selection of welding protective gear from Tractor Supply includes must-haves every welder needs to stay safe, focused and productive.
Weld Smart and Stay Safe with Purposeful Gear
Welding involves many potential hazards if not careful, including exposure to extreme heat, intense light, flying sparks and harmful fumes. To ensure welders can perform their duties effectively while staying safe, our inventory features a wide range of protective gear, such as:
Gloves
Welding gloves are an essential component of protective equipment, providing a vital barrier against heat, sparks and sharp metal edges. Our selection is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures while allowing flexibility for precision work. We carry several types of gloves, each suited to different welding processes. These include TIG welding gloves, which offer increased dexterity for detailed work, and MIG welding gloves that are made with thick padding for high-heat environments. Many of our gloves are created with reinforced palms, rugged stitching and extended cuffs for added durability and safety.
Clothing
Shield your body from the dangers that come with the craft with our range of welding clothing. Many of our protective garments, such as jackets, shirts and aprons, are constructed with leather, which provides excellent heat resistance and durability, making it ideal for heavy-duty jobs. Other options made from treated cotton offer a good balance between comfort and protection, allowing for enhanced breathability without sacrificing safety. For protection for quick projects, we offer accessories such as sleeves and caps, which can be worn over regular clothing.
Helmets
Our welding helmets shield your eyes and face from harmful UV and infrared radiation, as well as debris generated during the welding process. Auto-darkening versions use sensors to detect the welding arc, and they automatically adjust the lens shade almost instantaneously to provide proper protection. Options vary based on lens reaction time, adjustable sensitivity and shade range. Some helmets are also designed with added comfort in mind, with adjustable headgear and lightweight materials. Choose a helmet that matches your personality, as we offer a variety of eye-catching designs and color schemes.
Eye Protection and Replacement Lenses
Dissimilar to standard safety glasses, welding-specific eyewear is rated to filter out powerful rays that can result in significant eye damage known as welder’s flash. Our inventory consists of lenses in varying shades to accommodate different welding tasks. We offer various types of eye protection, such as glasses and goggles, along with replacement lenses for eyewear and helmets.
