0695500701 - ESAB PKB 315/400 Handheld Welding Mask

Professional Grade Handheld Welding Protection

The ESAB Hand Shield PKB315/400 is an essential piece of personal protective equipment designed for industrial environments where versatility and speed are paramount. Unlike traditional head-mounted welding helmets, this handheld screen allows for immediate deployment, making it the ideal solution for welding inspectors, safety officers, and instructors who need to safely observe welding operations intermittently without the burden of wearing a helmet continuously. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability in harsh workshop conditions, resisting heat, spatter, and mechanical impact.

Manufactured by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting technologies, the PKB315/400 is engineered with high-quality, heat-resistant thermoplastic materials. This ensures that the shield remains lightweight for ease of use while providing a substantial barrier against harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation emitted during the arc welding process. The ergonomic handle is designed to provide a secure grip, allowing the user to position the shield precisely and comfortably, reducing hand fatigue during extended periods of observation or repetitive tack welding tasks.

For procurement specialists and facility managers, this hand shield represents a cost-effective safety solution for auxiliary personnel. It eliminates the need to issue full-feature auto-darkening helmets to staff who only require occasional protection, such as supervisors checking weld quality or assistants helping with fit-up. The simplicity of the design means there are no electronic components to fail, no batteries to replace, and minimal maintenance requirements beyond standard cleaning and lens replacement. It accommodates standard industry-size passive filter lenses, ensuring that replacement consumables are readily available and affordable.

Incorporating the ESAB Hand Shield PKB315/400 into your safety equipment inventory ensures compliance with safety standards for eye and face protection. It is particularly useful in educational settings, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and fabrication shops where teamwork and frequent visual checks are part of the daily workflow. Its proven design and reliable performance make it a staple in professional welding environments.
