Welding Helmet Large Viewing Screen 3.94"x 3.66" True Color Solar Power Auto Darkening 4 Arc Sensor Weld Mask with Weld/Grind/Cut, Mode for TIG MIG Arc LYG 1/1/1/1 Top Optical Clarity

I may not be a professional welder but I do recognize quality when I see it.

This is a reasonably good welding helmet for the price of around $40. The screen works as it should in all modes. The large screen is great and the 'true' color means that it is a lot less green than my other helmet. My only complaint is with the fit. The head band is thin making it uncomfortable when snug enough to allow the helmet to be flipped up or down and have it stay on. I can add extra padding so this is a minor issue. The bigger problem is that when down, the top of my head is rather exposed. This means I have to either use a cover or a welding hat to keep slag from possibly getting in my hair. This is rather inconvenient as it's already hot enough in the shop. However, as a hobbyist helmet I feel it's a good value.

So far so good

I do quite a bit of welding and have used multiple helmets and this is the best one I have used. It is nice quality and fits well but the best thing is the large viewing screen which is great and the auto-darkening is a must have and works well, especially if you have ever welded with traditional helmets that don't auto-darken. Plus this looks super cool with the flames!

To be honest I wasn't sure about this helmet because of the price but I was pleasantly surprised. The wide field of view is awesome. The head strap takes a little time to setup but it works fine. Everyone loves the look of this thing for sure. I think it would be perfect for the home welder that only uses it for small jobs or a shop that doesn't weld much. Most pros have their high end helmets and are quite happy with them but for us budget conscious weekend worrier type this is pretty nice.

We got this for our son and he says it’s comfortable and easy to see through. Good value for low price.

This is a real step up from the fancy decorated, flashy helmets you see many ads for. The view is large and in full color until an ARC is present than darkens as it should. There are plenty of adjustments and setting for the job at hand. It might take some getting used to what setting works best for each type of job. This looks and feels like a professional tool not a toy like the flashy decorated ones. The head band adjusts easily with the knob in the back for a good fit. So, you might be wondering why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. I have another helmet that is not usable anymore because it did not have a replaceable battery and did not have an off position on either adjusting knob. This helmet does have a replaceable battery but does not have an off position on either control knob. Even when this is sitting on the shelf in the dark bag it is still on and looking for an ARC. If this sits a few months you will be replacing the battery before you can use it. At least the test button will let you know before you see the flash.

I don't have my welder hooked up so can't test this under battlefield conditions but everything appears to work according to the test feature.It's got a 3 position switch for "grind, cut, weld" to set up the mode and stepless knobs for sensitivity & delay. Tried it out by hitting it with a bright flashlight and seemed to perform just as expected.The manual is very basic so I'm going to have to view a few videos to get my legs under me as I've never had a self-darkening mask before. The diameter of the headstrap is continuously adjustable with a knob so you should be able to get the exact fit you need.Pricewise I'd say this mask is the middle of the road and I don't know what the differences might be between the wide selection available. If you have some experience with these there may or may not be a better pick than this one.Based on my limited experience, this seems like a very good mask. YMMV
