GRINDER HOOD FULL LENS KIT
Up your Grinder Hood game and unlock everything the system was designed to do. The Full Lens Kit gives you the visor clip, every inner lens option, and both shaded outer visors in one package—so you can go from clear grinding and cutting protection to higher-shade welding setups without changing hoods. Swap lenses as the job changes, keep the same comfortable Grinder Hood on your head, and build the shade level you need in seconds.
The kit includes #1 Clear, #3, and #5 inner lenses plus #5 and #8 outer visors, giving you the full range of Grinder Hood configurations in one box. Run the #1 Clear lens for everyday fabrication, step into darker lenses when you need more shade, or combine the #5 inner lens with the #8 outer visor for Shade 13 protection. If you already own the Grinder Hood and want to get the most versatility out of it, this is the complete upgrade kit.

Build the Shade Level You Need
The Full Lens Kit gives you every lens option in the Grinder Hood system, so you can build the setup around the job instead of being locked into one fixed shade.
#1 Clear Inner Lens
The #1 Clear inner lens is your everyday workhorse for:
- Grinding
- Cutting
- Deburring
- Weld cleanup
- Surface preparation
- Sanding
- General fabrication
Use the clear lens when you want maximum visibility and welding shade protection is not required.
#3 Inner Lens
The #3 inner lens gives you a darker viewing option for applications where the clear lens is too bright but a higher-shade configuration is not needed.
#5 Inner Lens
The #5 inner lens is the darkest inner-lens option in the Grinder Hood system and becomes the foundation for the maximum Shade 13 setup.
#5 Outer Visor
Install the visor clip and add the #5 outer visor when you need an additional layer of shade in front of the inner lens.
#8 Outer Visor
The #8 outer visor is the darkest outer-visor option in the system and gives you the highest shade configuration when paired with the #5 inner lens.
Maximum Shade Configuration
#5 Inner Lens + #8 Outer Visor = Shade 13 Protection
That range is what makes the Full Lens Kit such a strong upgrade—one Grinder Hood can move from clear grinding visibility to higher-shade welding applications simply by changing the lens setup.
How the Lens System Works
The Grinder Hood was designed to make lens changes quick and simple, so you can change your setup without fighting with the hood.
Installing the Visor Clip & Outer Visor
Simply pop out the center square on the hood directly above the inner lens to uncover the visor-clip housing. Slide the included clip system into place, add the #5 or #8 outer visor you want, and build the shade level needed for the job.
Once the clip is installed, the outer visor can be changed without removing the clip from the hood.
Changing the Inner Lens
Swapping the inner lens is just as easy. Use the side retaining clips—conveniently marked L and R—to release the lens, remove it, drop in the #1 Clear, #3, or #5 inner lens, and lock the clips back into place.
That makes it easy to go from clear grinding visibility to darker shade configurations without changing your entire hood.
Select the shade appropriate for the welding process and operating amperage.
Safety Tips
- Inspect all lenses and the visor clip before each use and replace cracked, heavily scratched, damaged, or otherwise compromised components.
- Make sure the selected inner lens is fully seated and both retaining clips are secured.
- Confirm the outer visor is properly installed in the visor clip before beginning work.
- The #1 Clear inner lens is intended for grinding, cutting, and similar applications and does not provide welding shade protection.
- Select the appropriate inner-lens and outer-visor configuration for the welding process and operating amperage.
- The #5 inner lens combined with the #8 outer visor provides Shade 13 protection.
- Keep all required machine guards installed and properly positioned.
- Do not use the Grinder Hood or lens system for sandblasting.
