OVERVIEW

Get Your Helmet Fitting Right Again

There is nothing more annoying than a welding helmet that won't stay put. If your Forney ADF helmet is slipping, sliding, or digging into your scalp because the old headgear is worn out, the Forney 55786 Replacement Ratcheting Headgear is the fix you need. This isn't just a strap; it's the full suspension system that keeps your lid secure so you can focus on the puddle, not on adjusting your gear every five seconds.

The ratcheting knob on the back is oversized and easy to grab, even with your welding gloves on. A quick twist tightens it up for a snug fit that stays comfortable all day. The top strap lets you adjust how low the helmet sits on your head, so you aren't straining your neck looking through the top or bottom of the lens. It also comes with a fresh sweatband, which is a huge upgrade if you've been sweating into the old one for months.

Installation is a breeze. You don't need a toolbox or an engineering degree. Just pop out the old broken harness and snap this one in. It's designed specifically for Forney Auto-Darkening helmets, so you don't have to worry about hacking it to fit. Don't let a broken strap tape-job ruin your weld; swap it out and get back to burning rod comfortably.
