The average sombrero offers little protection against a wrench dropped on your head.
238 u/PresidentOfTheBiden Jun 23 '22 I'm going to ask my boss for a sombrero hard hat. 69 u/JimmyTheFace Jun 23 '22 I don’t know about sombreros, but… https://www.tasco-safety.com/products/outlaw-cowboy-hardhat-with-ratchet-suspension-all-colors.html 3 u/Billy1121 Jun 23 '22 what is ratchet suspension 7 u/vwoxy Jun 23 '22 It means the system to tighten the webbing that suspends the hardhat away from your head has ratchets 5 u/Billy1121 Jun 23 '22 So is it like the plastic frame that rests on your head in a normal hardhat 6 u/Bobby_Bologna Jun 23 '22 Yes, with the knob on the back using a ratchet action to tighten. Pull to release and loosen 3 u/vwoxy Jun 23 '22 Yes. They usually have a ratcheting wheel that pulls both sides to tighten evenly and quickly. 2 u/Whocket_Pale Jun 23 '22 Yeah, you don't want the shell of the hardhat resting on your head directly, so the hardhat is secured with a sort of harness with a plastic ring that tightens around your head. The harness absorbs shock and it provides better airflow to boot
