At the heart of this accessory is a unique clip mechanism, precisely designed to grip and securely hold the visor’s headgear adjustment knob. Simply attach the clip to the strap and in one motion “park” the helmet, which remains securely suspended by the welder’s side. This design prevents accidental falls, protects the protective glass from scratching against the ground and keeps the visor’s interior clean. This system allows you to have the equipment always at hand, without having to find a safe place for it at the workstation. It’s an investment in protecting your precious visor and keeping your work flowing and organized.

The Parking Buddy mount is designed to be fully integrated into the Optrel product ecosystem. It is fully compatible with all Optrel brand welding visor models equipped with a standard header, as well as the innovative Weldcap series of welding caps. Installation is extremely simple and intuitive – the clip simply slips onto a standard trouser belt and is ready for immediate use. It requires no tools or equipment modifications, providing a universal solution for any Optrel user. By investing in this mount, you are assured that it will fit your current and future equipment from the brand.

Optrel engineers understand very well that the work of a welder is not only the welding process itself, but also well-deserved breaks. That’s why a heavy-duty metal bottle opener has been integrated into the design of the Parking Buddy handle. This small but thoughtful addition demonstrates the manufacturer’s comprehensive approach to the user’s needs, going beyond basic functionality. It is a practical detail that enhances the utility of the accessory during rest and recovery breaks. It proves that Optrel cares about the comfort of professionals in every aspect of their working day.
