Your Nuts Are Showing!Nut covers these days aren't exactly like the acorns adorning your grandfather's flathead half a century ago. Thanks to Midwest Acorn Nut Company, the leader in chrome and stainless steel dress-up parts for the past 50 years, we've got far more to choose from, including flames, skulls, and eagles. Their new solid-brass, nickel chrome-plated bolt covers incorporate no ferrous material, so they'll never rust. Midwest Acorn Nut Company designed these bolt covers with a locking device that simply snaps over the existing Allen, hex, or button head bolts. They subjected the covers to a rigorous 25,000-shake test to prove they will not fall off their intended fastener. Just think, no more mess and hassle of silicone fastening again. Midwest Acorn Nut Company offers these covers in 1/4-, 5/16-, and 3/8-inch sizes and M6, M8, and M10 for Allen heads, hex heads, and button heads. They offer the covers in either an SAE or metric assortment display tray that contains 30 pieces of each size and head style.

Hot HoodsAre you big on the hot auto-darkening welding helmets but not so hot about their not-so-big viewing area? Well, now you've got something to look forward to: Miller Welding's Big Window Elite helmet. Big Window helmets feature a 30-percent-larger lens window and four independent arc sensors. Despite the larger viewing area, the larger lens enjoys a full 4-ounce weight edge over its major competitor. Miller helmets feature variable welding shade control (#9 - #13), lens sensitivity and delay control, and auto-on circuitry. They provide continuous eye protection against UV and IR radiation. These new helmets suit hobbyists and light-duty professionals who encounter MIG, Stick, and DC inverter operations and TIG arcs down to 10 amps. The 1/20,000 sec. Performance Series lens provides excellent lens clarity for low amperage TIG and out-of-position welding. To extend the screen's lifespan, Miller's auto-darkening lenses feature a replaceable battery to augment the solar-assist feature. That eliminates the self-recharging yet non-replaceable lithium battery incorporated in the original series. Best of all, Miller covers their helmets with an 18-month warranty.
