Review on Welding mask Fubag Oprima 4-13 Visor 500gr (38439) by Mateusz Bana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Bought for manual arc welding for amateur purposes. Full-fledged combat tests - for the summer. There will be something significant, I will add / change the review. So far I really like it. The selection criteria were as follows: - large viewing window - replaceable battery required - wide dimming adjustments The mask itself has some flexibility, only time will tell the reliability. The material for the manufacture is declared "impact-resistant plastic / polyamide (nylon)" The model has an internal adjustment of the degree of dimming, if there is no need to constantly quickly change this setting. that's more of a plus than a minus. The declared filter response speed of 1/25000s is far from being a record, but it is quite on par. Until recently, there was (is?) a division according to which a cartridge with a response speed of 1/10000s belonged to a purely household level, and 1/20220s was already a professional one. What we have at the end is an amateur chameleon mask, but with the declared professional parameters and, at the same time, at a very affordable price. To what extent the declared parameters correspond to reality is another question. I hope that it will serve for a long time, faithfully. - It seems that the manufacturer of the light filter (mask) is Artotic (Yunnan Outai Tech Business Co) Their model MA8080X is a complete analogue of Fubag Optima 4-13 Visor By the way, the older Aurora masks, apparently, have legs growing from there. Plus, you can find a similar mask (and filter separately) in Chinese online bazaars. But at the time of writing, there are some very inadequate price tags + plus a lottery with delivery.

Pros
  • - declared filter class 1/1/1/1 (!) This is stated by the inscription 3/4-8/9-13ART1/1/1/1EN379 on the cartridge itself (see photo) - the degree of darkening in the enlightened state 3 DIN (information from the instructions and off. site). Those. mask, in the open state ~ 1.4 times lighter than analogues with 4 DIN - enlarged viewing window 100x65 - 4-re "arc sensors" - replaceable CR2450 battery (in fact, although they write CR2430 in the instructions) + solar battery - adjustable dimming modes cover almost all possible ranges of work - available in 3 colors: plain grey/red with graphics/black with graphics - the presence of certificates on the cartridge, including more demanding ones than the usual CE (see photo) - ample opportunities for adjusting the fit of the mask on the head. Headband tightening - ratchet. - 2 years warranty - price (took for ~ 2300r at the beginning of 2022)
Cons
  • - only one replaceable protective glass (external) is included in the kit - I personally did not have a warranty card in the kit (I hope not to be useful) According to information from the office. site - it seems like it must be present .
