Makita 841001-A Consumer Report


Makita 841001-A Review by Steven Mederos

I used this Forrestry helmet a couple times now, and its sturdy enough for me to give it a good rating. The helmet is kinda heavy. I use it for stump grinding, so my review is limited to standing in mostly one space working with the helmet. To be honest, I would trust U.S.A made any day of the week vs some poorly made China gear.


Makita 841001-A Review by Douglas J. Himes "massageguy" (Punxsutawney, PA)

First impressions are good, need to try it in the woods yet. Assembling the helmet was pretty simple and the instructions helped. I had a little trouble with the locking attaching (carrier lug) piece for the face screen as it fell out and had trouble putting it back in. Hope this in not a problem in the future. I did not find any instructions for the plus/minus on the top of the (hearing protector)attachment piece for the face screen and earmuffs. This has me guessing. With the helmet together and ratcheted tight it feels comfortable and stays put when bending over to pick things up. The earmuffs are easy to adjust up and down.

Helmet is Tasco (they make safety products). Face screen is not identified as USA made but since everything fits together it is probably also Tasco. It is an aluminum mesh shield... just like a black wire screen door. It took about 30 seconds to snap everything together without instructions which are printed on the plastic bag. The helmet straps could not be snapped into place without using a blunt tool - dull screwdriver, end of slipjoint pliers, etc.

The USA made ear protection NRR rating is 22 but the individual frequency dB ratings are all above 33 in the chainsaw frequency range. They even worked well with my wire frame glasses. The inside of the foam cushions were scratchy. I turned them upsidedown - that was better. There is no way to fix them; they attach to the ear pieces with self adhesive tape. The ear pieces slid up and down on the side pieces; it would be nicer if they locked in place.

This was not my first choice; it was sent to us on Amazon with a gift card from a seller who could not provide the one I wanted. How's that for customer satisfaction?
