Introducing a Unique Limited-Edition Welding Helmet by Dave Perewitz and Northern Tool + Equipment

A New Era for Welding Helmets

The welding community is buzzing with excitement as Northern Tool + Equipment reveals a limited-edition Klutch welding helmet designed by none other than the renowned Dave Perewitz, known in the industry as the 'King of Flames'. This unique helmet, named the 'Aqua Welder', emerged victorious in the company's annual Klutch Welding Sweepstakes, a gripping head-to-head design competition.

In this year’s contest, Dave Perewitz faced a challenge from his daughter, Jody Perewitz. Both created striking designs that captivated voters: Dave's vibrant electric blue 'Aqua Welder' went up against Jody's 'Spatter' design. Fans from around the nation were encouraged to cast their votes, and after a landslide of responses, the 'Aqua Welder' was crowned the winner, further cementing Dave’s status as a welding design innovator.

A Collaborative Legacy

This isn't the first time Dave has designed a welding helmet for the Klutch line; this is indeed his second creation. In an exclusive statement, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "This is the second Klutch Welding Helmet I've designed, and the creative challenge doesn't get old. I'm excited to see the Aqua Welder hit store shelves and have bragging rights in some friendly competition with my daughter."

This family dynamic adds a heartfelt layer to the competition, making it more than just a design contest; it’s a celebration of family legacy, creativity, and craftsmanship in the welding industry. As artists like Dave Perewitz showcase their talent, it provides an awesome opportunity for customers to connect with their products on a personal level.

Available for Purchase

The 'Aqua Welder' helmet is not just a design marvel; it's also crafted for functionality and safety, meant for both DIY enthusiasts and professional welders alike. Northern Tool + Equipment prides itself on offering high-quality tools and equipment, and this limited-edition helmet will be no exception. Customers can purchase the 'Aqua Welder' online now, with in-store availability planned for October.

Jeff Land, Senior Vice President of Merchandising at Northern Tool, remarked on the significance of this collaboration, noting, “There is so much talent in this industry. Being able to showcase the creativity and expression of artists like Dave is as much of a treat for us as it is for our customers.”
