Ridge Products’ Sugar Scoop Welding Hood Gets the Job Done

We make our sugar scoop welding hood (auto-darkening) with welders in mind. Everything about this hood is useful, from its handling of lenses to the toughness of the materials. Our sugar scoop welding hoods are:

  • Easy to Handle: Our sugar scoop welding hood allows you to easily weld in tight spaces, such as around lines or structural steelwork, due to its thin design. You can tilt your head in ways that a larger helmet wouldn't allow, which gives you a better view and more control.
  • Durable: We make this hood with fiberglass, so it can handle the daily damage from sparks, heat, and hits. You'll save money because you won't have to buy a new one for a long time.
  • All-Day Comfort: You can wear this welding hood for hours without getting tired because it's not too heavy. It’s comfortable enough so you can concentrate better and get more done.
  • Lens Flexibility: This hood can suit any lens thickness, so you can change things up based on the task. You can choose an auto-darkening welding lens or a lens made just for TIG.
  • Warranty for One Year: We offer a one-year warranty. You'll be taken care of if there are problems with the build or the tools. Making sure you're getting something you can trust gives you peace of mind.

Note: Although this hood has many advantages, it is incompatible with cheater lenses. A cheater lens is a kind of magnifying glass that helps welders who have trouble seeing their work better. This hood will not fit well if you use cheater glasses. That’s something to think about before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kinds of Welding Does the Sugar Scoop Welding Hood Work Best For?

Use it for stick welding (SMAW), MIG welding (GMAW), and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW). Pipefitters and structural welders like it a lot because it has a low profile.

Can I Use an Auto-Darkening Lens with My Sugar Scoop Welding Hood?

Yes. Our sugar scoop welding hood works with most normal 2" x 4.25" auto-darkening lenses, so you can use it without giving up any of the hood's benefits.

How Can I Care for My Sugar Scoop Welding Hood?

Use a soft cloth and a light detergent to clean your welding hood. Your main welding lens will stay safe from spatter and scratches as long as you keep the clear lens covers on top.

How Heavy Is the Fiberglass Sugar Scoop Welding Hood?

Not at all. Fiberglass is strong but not heavy. You can wear the hood all day, without causing strain on your neck.
