K4590-XL - Lincoln Electric Education Welding Gear Ready-Pak - X-Large Kit

Comprehensive Welding Education Gear Solution

The Lincoln Electric Introductory Education Welding Gear Ready-Pak (K4590-XL) is a meticulously curated collection of personal protective equipment (PPE) and professional-grade tools designed specifically for welding students, educators, and apprentices. This X-Large bundle addresses the immediate needs of individuals entering vocational training or agricultural education programs, providing a single-source solution for safety and operational readiness. By consolidating 12 essential items into one package, Lincoln Electric ensures that users are equipped with compatible, high-quality gear that meets industry safety standards.

Advanced Protection and Comfort

Central to this package is the VIKING™ 1740 Series Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet. This helmet is engineered to reduce training time and increase productivity by allowing students to see their work clearly without constantly raising the hood. Complementing the helmet is a Traditional Flame Retardant (FR) Cotton Welding Jacket in size X-Large. This jacket is lightweight, breathable, and complies with ANSI D6413 standards, making it suitable for low to medium amperage welding applications (1-250 Amps). The inclusion of both ANSI 87.1 compliant clear safety glasses for impact protection and Shade 5 IR safety glasses for oxyfuel cutting ensures comprehensive eye safety across different lab activities.

Organization and Utility

Mobility and organization are critical for students moving between classrooms and workshops. The included Welders All-In-One Backpack is designed with this in mind, featuring a unique configuration that accommodates the welding helmet, tools, and consumables, alongside a separate compartment for a laptop and textbooks. The kit also supplies the fundamental hand tools required for Stick, MIG, and Flux-Core processes, including a chipping hammer, wire brush, welding pliers, and a fillet gauge for measuring weld sizes—an essential skill in welding education.

Kit Contents Overview

This Ready-Pak is not merely a collection of parts but a cohesive toolkit. From the welding beanie that provides additional head protection to the soapstone for marking base metals, every component has been selected to support the learning curve of new welders. The inclusion of MIG/Stick welding gloves ensures hand protection against heat and spatter, completing the full-body safety envelope required for educational environments.
